Very interesting book!

The study of end-time events and Bible prophecy are laid out in easy to read terms and discriptions. Todd Strandberg has a great way with words. It is humorous and yet the information on Bible Prophecy is maintained through out the book. It's a great read and I enjoyed every page.What stands out in this book compared to others who write on this subject is Todd Strandberg's honesty and humor. He gets the facts straight from the Bible and from world events. It's an eye opener. It is an exciting book to read on this subject and there is not a dull moment.It's a good book and I recommend it for everyone, both old and young.

Great Book. Todd and Terry make a wonderful Team

This is a wonderful book. It is full of facts and humor. It lays out the reasons why the Pre Trip Rapture will occur. It also lays out the Salvation message. It is very informative on what will happen in the future. This is a good read. It is Bible based. So my final question for you is Are You Rapture Ready? If not read the book!!!

Excellent introduction and summary of the end times

There IS such thing as black and white - right and wrong.The Bible is either true, or it isn't.Some proofs in favor of the Bible being true and the existanceof God are as follows:1) You can calculate Israels return to the exact MONTH and YEARfrom the time of the end of their Babylonian exile. Do youhomework, the research is out there to verify for yourself.2) The Babylonian King in Daniel 2 had a vision of a statuemade of different metals for different body parts. Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream outlines the further history of Gentile world power. The 4 metals of the statue represent 4 future world empires:(1) Babylon (Jer. 51:7) - The Head of Gold(2) Medo-Persia - Left-Right Arms & Chest Of Silver(3) Greece under Alexander - Belly Thighs Of Bronze(4) East-West Rome. - Left-Right Legs Of IRON.Then then much later(after a very long time apparently) theselegs continue into the ten toes, a confederacy made up largely of European nations (Dan. 7:24-27).These toes are made of IRON (a fragment of the Roman Empire)and CLAY (man).Coincidence? I think not.3) Jesus made reference to Solomons temple in the end times inMatt 24 which did not exist along with Israel as a nation after70 A.D. when the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem. As of 1948,Israel is back, and so will Solomons temple when the Antichriststeps onto the seen. Jesus was making reference to a passagein Daniel, when the Antichrist sits in the rebuilt temple.Are you Rapture Ready?This book explains it all, and why you should be "looking up" in expectation for Christ.But wait.. wasn't all of these points written "afterthe fact"?No. We have in our posession today the ORIGINAL copies ofthe Greek Old Testament which pre-dated Christ by 300 years.Carbon dating is good within 6-10 thousand years, so it's asafe bet, it's legit.. especially when you got 3 copies.Do your homework. This stuff all checks out.The real question is. DO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.This book is an excellent starting book.Todd's site, was my introduction to the Rapture and hisbook nicely ties together all of the articles posted toit over the years.I highly recommend it.If you've read any of the left behind series, or wish tostart, this book is an excellent introduction as well.THIS IS HAPPENING FOR REAL. When does it happen? We don't know because the bible sayswe cannot know the DAY or the HOUR. But we can know theSEASON, as Jesus makes reference to Israel in Matt 24 as afigtree in bloom once again in the end time. He also saidthat THIS (the Generation that witnesses it's blooming - orrebirth - would by no means pass away until all these thingscome to pass).That "generation" Jesus was referring to is the Baby BoomerGeneration who witnessed Israels return in 1948.Just one more reason to be Rapture Ready.Are you Rapture Ready?

Explains the end-times with humor and insight

Todd and Tery do a great job of explaining Bible prophecy with just the right blend of humor to keep it entertaining, yet with the deep insight of years of study.Many authors have an annoying habit of becoming dogmatic about issues better left to speculation (such as date-setting, or the identity of the anti-Christ), but this book never does that. It simply provides solid Scriptural support for all it's assertions, while sticking to a literal appropach to prophecy sure to please fundamental Christians, or (even more importantly) to edify those seeking the truth who haven't yet found it.

Get Your Friends Rapture-Ready - Now

Are you ready for the most monumental event in human history? A day is coming when millions of people will suddenly disappear and the world will have a difficult time trying to explain what has happened. This book is sprightly but respectfully written. It is certainly not deep or complex theologically. It was designed to be read by your average "Joe." It is an excellent complement to Hal Lindsey's books about the Rapture which concentrate more on the biblical explanations and history of church teaching on the topic. Strandberg and James do make excellent use of shaded areas of some pages that allow readers, who are interested to take side trips to particular parts of the bible, to study for themselves that the Rapture is coming and probably sooner than anyone knows. The book is certainly a witnessing tool for non-believers today; however the book is also addressed to those "left behind." The book anticipates that the Rapture of believers will be the biggest media event of all time. There will be hysteria, panic and a bevy of experts on CNN, FOX and the major networks attempting to provide explanations and answers to grief-stricken, confused people. The book candidly explains what the Book of Revelation foretells about world events coming for these people left behind. Yet, promises from the bible are detailed for those who believe despite persucution. Instructions are clear that one left behind must not accept the mark and worship of the coming world leader. I pray this book gathers a wide audience. As for me, I plan to leave a copy of the book in my office in the hope one of my co-workers will find it after the Rapture. With the peace efforts by President Bush in the Middle East right now, I have goose pimples that the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah and the Apostle John are so rapidly unfolding right before our eyes. Todd and Terry have found an unique way to continue their ministry even after they are no longer physically here after the Rapture. Thank you Todd and Terry, not only for the book but also the website that provides even more information: I read your updates once or twice a week and it encourages my Christian walk to focus on the blessed hope those who will leave in the Rapture have. God bless.
