When Christ Appears

by David Jeremiah

This book brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible: Revelation.

The book of Revelation promises a special blessing for those who take the time to peer into the future with the apostle John. When the heartache of this present world weighs heavily on us, we have only to look up and look ahead at the radiant end of one story and the joyous beginning of a new story that will never end.
