Kingdom Come Sam Storms – Lead Pastor, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma The second coming of Christ is a matter of sharp disagreement amongst Christians.

However, premillennialism is not the only option for Christians. In this important new book, Sam Storms provides a biblical rationale for amillennialism; the belief that 1,000 years mentioned in the book of Revelation is symbolic with the emphasis being the King and his Kingdom. 978-1-78191-132-7 | Large trade hardback | 592 pages | £19.99
