Inspiring book for anyone to read, especially Christians. It points out that as Christians we should be working to encourage more to accept Jesus as their Saviour because He is coming back and it may be sooner than we think.

Essential reading for every Christian

This is the second time I have read this book. It's one of those books that you can learn more from every time you read it. Super book. I highly recommend it.

A vital message presented again: Jesus is coming soon!

Yes, the message is repetitive. We are to look for what the Lord is repeating. We know the importance in the Lord's eyes by how much attention He gives it. Jesus is coming soon! Sooner than you think. Get ready!

Every Christian should read this book

This is the best book I have read that tells of the return of Lord Jesus Christ. This book. made me sit up and realize the walk I have chosen for myself and my family. I am putting this book in the hands of all my family.

The church talks about His return. Are you ready? Probably not. Do you want to be wrong when you had the opportunity but said tomorrow. Don't waste another day. It will be the most important decision you'll make.

A thought provoking book. Makes one think deeply on the word of God. You may not agree with the author, but he makes a great many points worth pondering.

Compelling book.

I enjoyed the author weaving his own story of repentance and living full out as a minister of the Gospel. We dare not delay asking Jesus to save us from our sins and submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are in the End Times without a doubt. Get ready!

Religion, prophesy, readiness for the Second Coming.

Pastor David believes, as do I, that the return of The Son of God, Jesus, is eminent.

This book sets the stage for Christ believers to become fired up and go forth into the world to share and show the love of God, through the Christ to mankind.

I have had the e-book for lots and lots of years. It looked like a good book. There were many things that were good for me to read and be reminded of. I profess myself to be a Christian, yet I have such a long way to go to live a life as Jesus did. Such good reminders of what I need to focus on in my life.

Very poorly written. Not everyone needs to write a book.

Great read

Take heed to this warning. We as Christians will all be held accountable of our service and honor for Him.

A much needed warning about the imminence of Jesus' return. It's so easy to become complacent and think it's years away, but in reality no one knows when, not even Jesus!!!
