Few things have been as destructive to the message of Jesus as dispensationalism. If you are looking for a healthy alternative, read Surprised by Hope by N.T. Wright. May God help us all.

Exactly as the title suggests, this is a quick look at the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ. At only 59 pages in length, this book is a quick read. It is well organized and easy to understand. There were some graphics and charts that were helpful as well. Biblical prophecy can be difficult to understand but this book breaks it down so it's easier to follow. I especially enjoyed the question/answer section in the last chapter. Overall, this was a quick and easy read that helped me to better understand end times prophecy.

Wonderful little book

So much is said about the end of times. What I enjoyed most in the book were the facts given in no nonsense terms. It is a great beginning of a long beautiful study.

Pretrib fantasies

Typical description of pretrib dotrine. two returns of Jesus and even two appearances of Jesus in the clouds. False unbiblical doctrine.

Bit of a stretch. Nice to revisit a familiar theory though. Seemed like even more of a stretch after recent study.

[Luke · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's rare to come across a book where I can find no fault. This volume is one of those. It states clearly in the title what it is and what it's about, then it lives up to that title.

Brief, informative, and easily digestible, I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from LaHaye.

A good quick study on the rapture.

As the title states, this book offers a quick study of the rapture. It is written in a very simple straightforward way so that someone new to studying the rapture can understand the Bible's teaching on it.

I've read this booklet more than once. I use it as a "quick reference." If you're looking for clear and uncomplicated answers regarding the rapture and the 2nd coming of Christ then this is the booklet to read.

Please note the emphasis on "booklet"

Good review of Christ's second coming.

Being a Christian, it is of the utmost importance to read, absorb his word, and learn more about prophecies that are being fulfilled. It is the only indicator that result in "the end of times". Would recommend to others

This book explained in depth the Rapture and the Second Coming. For someone who was not taught about this, it answered many questions.

[Kingsley Layton · Rating 3 out of 5]

As an intro to the subject it us not too bad, but it pays far too little attention to differentiating between the Rapture and the Second Coming. Try Phil Layton's book 'The Rapture' instead.
