The Return

Chronicles of Heaven #5

by Gene Edwards

The Return is an unparalleled rendition of Christ's return. So awesome in its portrayal that no painting, no writing, no leap of the imagination compares with this supernal presentation of Gene Edwards's portrait of Christ's coming. Until now, all books about Christ's return have ended with His coming. Never before has any author ventured into the mysteries of what happens after the Lord returns to heaven with the redeemed. The greatest glory begins there. You will be present when the elect angels drive the rebellious angels into eternal oblivion. Watch as Lucifer finally falls on his face and confesses that Jesus is Lord. Then, at last, Jesus heaves Death into the fiery pit, and Death himself dies. Finally, in the most spectacular finale of all grand finales, Jesus takes to Himself His Bride...the most beautiful woman ever to be known. The Return is a tapestry of sheer glory that allows you to be there at the end of all things. Do not miss Christ's return...and beyond!

This is the closest I've come to being led in worship without music and a worship team! Edwards leads in worship with his words and imaginative speculation as to what it will be like when Jesus' returns. This book was beyond delightful to read and I savored it in parts to allow time and space for SELAH moments. Wonderful!

Masterful. These poetic works of Gene Edwards will make the hope of Christ burn brighter.

This finale volume of the Chronicles of Heaven series is the best one yet. I can scarcely wait to look into these mysteries when they come true. They are so beautifully imagined in human words, I cannot fathom what the real Event will be like.

The final installment in this completely creative and Spirit-inspired series. I think these books brought to life the reality of Christ, eternity, and the ultimate plan of God. These books were awesome!

A very entertaining, insightful and thought-provoking "Christian" read. Must be taken as a fictional novel based on a considerable amount of Biblical fact. Above all, moving and inspiring!

Never quite thought of the Jesus story this way. Really makes you reexamine the world around you.
