About the author

Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.


As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.



In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.



Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.



Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.



As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.



Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.



Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.



Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.



Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

Reviews

This book claims to be eschatological, but it is simply American Nationalism. I was appalled by the authors lack of complexity and nuance, as well as his oversimplified scriptural and historical interpretations. It’s not that his conclusions were incorrect, it’s that his entire approach lacked any depth I would expect from an academic writer.

My main issue with this book boils down to one simple fact: the message of the End Times is a message of hope, not fear. Christians should not see current global events as something to avoid and be fearful of; nor are Christians meant to try to stop the End Times from happening. For goodness sake, we aren’t even meant to try to predict when these events will happen or what they will look like! We are, however, meant to have hope. Just as the martyrs of the Early Church, we are meant to read these prophesies while we face pain and persecution with the hope of a world to come. (I should also add that the Church is far from being persecuted in Western culture, although it is true that faith is becoming less of a pillar of our culture. There is a difference, and it would do the Church well to learn it so that we are not needlessly victimizing ourselves.) “Dr.” David Jeremiah is using a twisted Scripture to scare his readers into buying into a political agenda. Jesus would surely flip his table.

We cannot stop the End Times; we also cannot predict them. We are wasting our time even trying. Instead, let’s choose to worship Jesus, unify as one Body despite political differences, and have hope that the Day of the Lord is coming. Let’s enjoy the world we have while we can, but let’s not forget that our true home is on its way. Let’s also steer clear from false prophets and divisive figureheads who abuse Scripture.

I asked for this book for Christmas and I've been reading a little at a time for about ten days (between other books I've been reading). I've liked Dr. Jeremiah for many, many years and highly respect his teaching. I'm also extremely interested in anything to do with the end times. So, I hoped this book would reveal some new things to me. It wasn't so much full of revelation as it was stating the way things are in this world and reminding we as Christians how we should be living in the end times. Dr. Jeremiah talked about socialism, globalism, the pandemic, economy, cancel culture, false prophets, and Israel's place in current and future events. He has a warm, encouraging voice in his teaching and the book is a good pep talk on we as Christians fulfilling our purpose during this special time in history that we have been created for. Through God's power, we can make a difference. It's a good book.

[Donna Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to make sense out of current events, trends, philosophies and more with regard to Biblical prophecies. The first part of each chapter illustrates and gives examples of what we see happening in our world today. For example, tendencies toward socialism, globablism, and cancel culture, finacial chaos, events such as the Covid pandemic, and political, spiritual, and geographical issues. It seems depressing until the author addresses each topic in light of scripture. The author shows how obviously each topic is of no surprise to God and is prophesied about in scripture. The chapter then addresses how Christ followers can strive to think and act and proceed with life without the depression, frustration, anger, or anxiousness that some of these topics can cause. An encouraging read for Christians today!

Whether you are new to the Biblical study of the End Times (Eschatology) or a long-time student of it, there's something to be said for Dr. David Jeremiah's latest foray into the topic. No one can deny that the last couple years have left us wondering, "Where do we go from here?" and "Wow, something strange is going on here." Dr. Jeremiah takes current headlines and shows how Bible prophecy, both Old and New Testament, points to just what we're seeing. And then he helps walk us through what it means and what we should be doing as Christians. This is a fast read in Dr. Jeremiah's conversational, warm, grandfatherly voice that, as always, is rife with wisdom. Highly recommend!

[Frank · Rating 5 out of 5]

The past couple years have felt like a very strange time. Everything seems to have abruptly changed. We may feel helpless and no longer in control of our lives. We may have a sense of foreboding as we wonder where present trends are heading, what all this will mean for us, our families, our nation and our world.

Seeking to provide some spiritual answers is a book by pastor and TV minister David Jeremiah, “Where Do We Go From Here?” The author discusses current events in light of numerous biblical scriptures. Dr. Jeremiah feels we are seeing at least some preliminary signs of prophetic events that will lead to a time of unimaginable trouble in the world followed by the Second Coming of Christ and His joyous reign on earth.

Much of the information is sobering and encourages readers to strengthen their spiritual lives and remain faithful to God even during trying times. He reminds us that salvation comes only through accepting Jesus as personal savior.

God and Christians will ultimately triumph and the book ends with a message of hope. We each have a part to play, and the author encourages us to each use our talents and abilities to accomplish what God shows us to do.

This is the second of Dr. Jeremiah’s books that I’ve read, having previously enjoyed his uplifting book about heaven.

A few days ago, my wife, Sandy and I attended an event in Ft. Worth, TX hosted by Dr. Jeremiah. The worship music was engaging and joyful, the message was inspiring. It was a special evening.

I've read many of Dr. David Jeremiah's books and have to say that this is one of his best. The author is excellent at exploring and explaining Bible prophecy and always backs up his writing with Scripture.
This book took on world events, cultural changes and societal belief systems that have seen radical changes. Each chapter focused on a certain topic; socialism, globalism, pandemics and plagues, economic chaos, apostasy in the church, cancel culture, and more.
Dr. Jeremiah definitely didn't shy away from hot button issues in this one. That may be one of the many reasons why I have highly recommended it. Each topic is handled with tact yet provides firm warnings where applicable.
This world has seen so many changes in the past decade or so. For people of faith, certain events fulfill Bible prophecy.
As always, this book can be enjoyed and understood by anyone no matter where they're at in their spiritual walk. Certain facts were new discoveries while others confirmed thoughts that I suspected. Loaded with charts, illustrations and so on, they also further explain topics.
This would be an ideal small group study. It's definitely a book to add to your personal library.

In “Where Do We Go From Here?:How Tomorrow's Prophecies Foreshadow Today's Problems” Dr. David Jeremiah with startling accuracy sets current events against the backdrop of Biblical prophecy with signs of what to expect as global problems like war, pandemic, political and climate unrest shake the world's foundation. The book is written to give Christians not only a front row seat to what’s happening in the world with a message of hope, but stir a need in those that don't know Christ Jesus to change their minds and hearts.

Well-written , uplifting and backed by scripture this book is a must read.

[Elizabeth Braden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr. David Jeremiah has written another outstanding book about how so many current events that are going on in the world are foreshadowing the prophecies of the Bible. He explains things in a very clear and concise way and I read this book in one day! I couldn't put it down. It was riveting and so many examples were given to help one to understand the concepts that he was explaining so clearly and so well. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the prophecies of the Bible and how these line up with the headlines in the news stories going on in the world today! Well written and very clear and concise.

[Vern Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Plain and clearly written

This author makes uses common sense and backs it up with scripture. He clarifies our role and duty as Christians to spread the Gospel of Jesus which is; He came to earth from Heaven. his life is the perfect example and he died and returned to heaven after conquering death. He sits beside God the father. he said He did the this so that ALL who believe and repentt shall be saved.

[Wendy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved reading Dr. David Jeremiah explaining Biblical prophecy and how it is alining with our world today. Through the chaos, Dr. Jeremiah also reminds us of our hope we have in our Savior.
He is able to explain throughout the book in a way, it is understandable and gives biblical scripture to cross reference.
If you are wondering where we are biblically in time, I highly recommend this book.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a Sunday school lesson we did over several weeks. It was very interesting and eye opening about our world and government today. I am not sure I agree/believe everything in this book, but it does make you stop and think about the country's decline in recent years. I would recommend it if you are not happy with the situation of our nation, it might cause you to move to action.

[LAMONT D · Rating 4 out of 5]

He wrote this book coming out of the pandemic, so it is tainted a little bit with those lingering aspects of the chaos that the world was brought into by the virus from China. Certainly, each of the 10 chapters hold some weight to their validity as you look to scriptures alerting us to the end of times. I think Socialism and Globalism for me struck a chord since there are so many in this country that spout the benefits of such arrangements. That scares me to death. Jerusalem is always in the news especially with the hostage deal being brokered in the Middle East and Trump becoming our president again (thank goodness). As always, many scriptures to consider from his book and we should be well read in this area since we could be living in such perilous times as the Bible talks about at length. Maybe the sky is not falling, but the storm clouds are certainly on the horizon if you will.

[Carol Ghattas · Rating 4 out of 5]

David Jeremiah writes an up-to-date review of where we are in the world in light of prophecy and Christ's return, building on earlier books and works of others. The difference that I appreciated in this book is he concludes each chapter with the phrase from the book's title: Where do we go from here? He doesn't leave us with the doom, gloom, and worry, but reminds us where we stand as Christ-followers and how we should press on in light of our current situations.

As he said in the introduction, he is helping us to learn how "to do the next right thing." This takes me back to a word from Elisabeth Elliot, who after the horrific death of her husband, Jim, said she learned to just do the next right thing in order to move forward in her walk with Christ. Jeremiah is helping us to do this as well, remembering "in the midst of a chaotic world, we have a steadfast Savior who is preparing to come again."

A recommended read for those who need encouragement to press on and live in the hope we have in Christ.

[Tammy Horvath · Rating 5 out of 5]

A scary but accurate prediction of the future. Everyone should read this book lest we (the USA), too, become oppressed, barren, and hopeless. But in the end, Jesus will govern us all so we can rest in peace even in the face of trying times and what will happen when people adore the Antichrist as described in Revelation 13. This storm is fast approaching, so we must be on our guard but not alarmed when it happens—so stay confident and content, knowing that what you’ve practiced and prepared for you will get through because of Jesus. So even though Where Do We Go From Here? is scary, it needs to be read.

[Carol L. Caldwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book follows elements of prophecy in the Old and New Testaments that we see happening today in our world. Dr. Jeremiah doesn't give dates and times for these prophecies to happen. He talks about signs we see. If we see such and such happening, then think about this scripture. But most of all, he calls us to love each other.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A timely book in the midst of the world we’re living in. Dr. Jeremiah does a good job of aligning past prophecy with the times we live in. He backs it up with scripture. His writing is clear and concise. He encourages us by the reminder, “in the end it’s all going to be okay.” I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read that was written by him.

[Larry Hopkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very timely book about the day in which we are living. Dr. Jeremiah gives us scripture after scripture that relates to current events and reminds us of our role as followers of Christ to remain vigilant.

[Lynne Zotzmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr David Jeremiah addresses current world crises and connects these concerns to Biblical prophecies. The author offers Biblical solutions that we can apply in our personal lives. The book is very thought provoking.

Where Do We Go from Here

I enjoyed this book very much. It is very helpful in my daily bible studies. I love reading all of Dr Jeramiah's books.

[Leroy Zumack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here is a book on biblical prophecy that is not complicated with good illustrations and practical. It opens the door to upbeat thoughts of Jesus Christ. Many good stories about people’s lives transformed by the message of the Gospel. I’m glad that I read it.

SOMEWHAT INTERESTING ..........

I was looking forward in reading this book, but I found that it was hard to follow. The way I see it , Dr. Jeremiah can preach really well ... but , like some other preachers I will not name.... THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY make them good writers! Read at your own risk !
I would not recommend! His Bible is sound , as are his arguments ...
HE IS NOT MY STYLE !

[Judi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had not read anything by Dr. David Jeremiah before. I found this book to be spot on for these times where our culture is trying to direct the Christian faith. We are surrounded by churches splitting apart due to unbiblical cultural acceptance and mandates. People are afraid to speak to certain people for fear of not knowing what pronouns to use - fear of being called a bigot because people are changing God's creation. Christians are being denigrated for following God's will and purpose. It was helpful to continue to understand that this is exactly what has been prophesied for the end times and we are witnessing this unfold. I appreciated the facts and research the author included. We read this book along with the study guide for a 1/1 Bible study. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to take their head out of the sand and face the cultural world we are living in. Knowledge is power.

[Gregsie · Rating 4 out of 5]

In a world full of increasing reports of war and disaster, in a country that is relentlessly being torn apart from the inside, the only hope is Jesus Christ. Dr. Jeremiah takes the major problems in America and the world today (as of 2021) and views them through a Christian worldview. For every problem, no matter how bad or scary it appears, Dr. Jeremiah uses specific verses from the Bible to show how to correctly view, and what our actions as Christians should be in response to, the problem. For a book with such a serious topic, I found it to be a very encouraging read.

Let us go to the Kingdom!

I loved this book cover to cover. I learned many things from Dr Jeremiah. You can’t read this book and not wonder how so many politicians are striving toward socialism that was a product of Karl Marx who it turns out was a worshiper of Satan and a despicable man. Dr Jeremiah’s knowledge of history enlightens us about what socialism has done to countries like Venezuela. We have one hope in this world and that is the gift of Salvation given to anyone who believes and receives, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Let us go to his Kingdom!

[Geraldine R. Gaugler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book

I really enjoyed reading this book. If you are interested in learning how events happening in the world today relate to future Biblical prophecies this is the book to read. Dr. David Jeremiah does an excellent job of looking at our distressing times and showing how they relate to future Biblical prophecies.

[michele Bain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Important book for the current times

Dr. Jeremiah does a good job connecting the dots of all we see going on in society today that make the world seem upside down, then tying them back to the Gospel. A worthwhile (and necessary) read for those trying to make sense of what they’re seeing going on around them and how we should respond.

[Karen Liever · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this book on Audible and it was so thought provoking especially in these current days. I have always read the Bible and have been interested in Biblical prophecy. Dr. Jeremiah backs up this writing with Scripture so I could go back and see for myself but I wish everyone would read this book. It is a real wake up call!

[Marie Wilfong · Rating 5 out of 5]

A powerfully written book that draws you into prophetical fulfillment that is happening today, but does not leave you suspended in wondering what's next...Dr. Jeremiah skillfully ends each chapter with encouraging counsel "Where Do We Go From Here?" A book to treasure and read again as the future unfolds!

Dr. David Jeremiah is known for his end of times discussions. This study covers prophetic foreshadowing in the future, while relating to current social and moral issues of today. I was especially interested in his commentary on socialism and modern cancel culture. Very good book. Make for a great Sunday School study.
