About the author
David Jeremiah
800 books873 followersDr. 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

This was a Christmas gift from a Thomas Nelson employee, so I wonder if it was a give away. That aside, I found it a good book and pretty much a pre-tribulation, premillennial presentation. There are some good illustrations here. I did wonder if this was originally a series of sermons at Jeremiah's church.

This SanDiego Pastor has written a number of books to alert and prepare the reader for what is to come. His material is well organized, well studied and his approach is Pastoral rather than sensational. He can be found on this website: http://www.oneplace.com/

Although written before the new millennium, this information is completely relevant for today! It is not necessarily a book on prophecy and the end times as much as it is in what we do before then and where our Hope is found. Worth a read!

Practical and good read
Though this is about 20 yrs old, it was written like it was yesterday. It stayed to the core basics and I highly recommend it.

Another fantastic book by Dr. Jeremiah on prophecy. He is as solid of a Bible teacher as they come.

This is an excellent book about the teaching Jesus gave the disciples regarding End Times. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1: Warnings and Part 2 Instructions. The In Part 1 the warnings are: Do not be deceived, do not be troubled, do not be confused, and do not be beguiled. For example, three times in Matthew 24 Jesus warns the disciples about the deception to come indicating it will be convincing and widespread. Jeremiah offers wisdom about how to prepare and not be deceived. Jesus also tells the disciples not to be troubled in spite of the fact there will be famines and pestilence and earthquakes. Jeremiah gives stunning statistics on the increase in earthquakes over the centuries.
He says: “In the tenth century, there were 32 earthquakes. In the fifteenth century, there were 378. But in the nineteenth century, there were 2,119 earthquakes. There has been just as drastic an increase in intensity as there has been in frequency. Ten of the thirteen most devastating earthquakes of all time have occurred in the twentieth century. Of some 68 major earthquakes recorded in history, 46 have occurred in our century.” Jeremiah warns us not to try to figure the date though it’s obviously getting closer than ever before.
In Part 2 the instructions are: Do business until I come, evangelize until I come, edify one another until I come, pursue your reward until I come and live in hope until I come. Each chapter gives us the words of Jesus to his disciples preparing them for his return. Jeremiah also notes what Jesus did not say. For example, “He didn’t say remember to work of for justice and visualize world peace.” The final chapter on Hope is especially valuable with thoughts about how we remain hopeful in the midst of dire circumstances. Jeremiah says in the midst of great difficulty “A Christian has superficial sorrow and central gladness; a nonbeliever has superficial gladness and central sorrow.”
This book prepares Christians for Christ’s return and helps us live faithfully in the mean while.

Predictable, premillenialist commentary on what (at the time the book was written) the impending sense of apocalypticism that surrounded the millenium. A few good thoughts regarding what Christians ought to be doing while awaiting Christ's return in terms of the good works Christ has prepared for us.

This book, first published in 1999, discusses Y2K as perceived by many. We have managed to survive that event. That being said, this book still covers good biblical lessons we need to remember. Dr. David Jeremiah is one of the foremost biblical scholars of his time and he brings that knowledge to bear in this book in a way that is beneficial to all.
