The Return

By Gene Edwards

Book Overview

What happens when eternity breaks into time-and heaven opens before human eyes?

In The Return, Gene Edwards invites readers into a sweeping, imaginative vision of the culmination of history: the return of Christ, the resurrection of the saints, and the final triumph of God over death, darkness, and time itself.

Beginning with John's exile on Patmos, this dramatic narrative unfolds the events of Revelation through vivid storytelling, poetic imagery, and deeply reverent theological imagination.

Readers journey alongside angels and apostles through scenes of cosmic conflict, divine victory, and ultimate restoration:

- John's vision of Christ in unveiled glory

- The resurrection and gathering of the redeemed

- The defeat of death and the powers of darkness

- The new heavens, the new earth, and the New Jerusalem

- The eternal union of Christ and His people Return_9780940232105_bookblock

Written with lyrical intensity and spiritual depth, The Return is not speculation but worshipful storytelling-an invitation to contemplate the hope, beauty, and certainty of Christ's victory.

This book is ideal for readers who want:

- A vivid, story-driven portrayal of Revelation

- A deeper emotional grasp of Christian hope

- A fresh perspective on eternity and redemption

- Faith-affirming imaginative literature

If you long to see eternity through new eyes and encounter the majesty of Christ in story form, The Return offers a powerful and unforgettable vision.

Customer Reviews

I so enjoy Gene Edwards telling the Bible story from the heavenly angle . It helps me to understand

These books are for people who want to know more about God .

THE ANGELIC VIEW

THIS BOOK BLEW MY MIND, A MOST UNUSUAL APPROACH TO THE CHRISTMAS STORY, AND ONE I AM SURE I WILL READ EVERY YEAR. FRESH AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. GIVE IT A TRY.

The return

This book is a classic and will be an important title in my library. It's worth a second read.

The Birth

Love this entire series. It's such a different viewpoint of the Bible stories that we are all familiar with. The author makes it very plausible. I really enjoyed it.

Not Like the Usual Story

This is a terrific story, placed in a prospective where characters come to life that you knew existed in the lives of the main characters but never came to know until Gene Edwards brought them to life in story. It is like seeing God's plan come into fruition before your eyes. Even a small child can comprehend the awesomeness of God as it is being read to them. It brings relationships between people into view that are so natural and normal that it makes you feel you are a part of story, like a friend standing right there in the midst of all the events. Mr. Edwards carrys an anointing that most good writers can't even imagine exist.

if you like CS Lewis you will like this!

Gene Edwards mixes bible text and his own interpretation to give you an exciting and visionary view of the birth of Christ. I found it excited me to read all his other works A great book for Xmas!
