While it is set in the future, it tells the old story of the acts of God rooted in the documents preserved by the ancient Hebrews-the story that ascended from the hills of Judea and spread throughout the world; the story that has been told and retold in countless forms, each one a fruit of the same immortal stem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough the root is as old as Adam, it continues to bear new kinds of fruit such as this unusual blend of fact and fancy joined into a piece that spans the ages. Lynn Andrew brings new life to an old tale of enigmatic love, a tale that proves to be a seed of the ancient root. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is possible that you will savor here what seemed tasteless or overripe in other renderings of the story of the ages, for there are many ways to taste and see that the Lord is good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51251522208017,"sku":"NIN9781490891378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654739456273,"sku":"NLS9781490891378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1490891374.jpg?v=1750957328"},{"product_id":"day-and-the-hour-book-lynn-andrew-9781490892184","title":"The Day and the Hour","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51251522699537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51251525812497,"sku":"NIN9781490892184","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654730019089,"sku":"NLS9781490892184","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1490892184.jpg?v=1751053699"},{"product_id":"day-and-the-hour-book-lynn-andrew-9780578861135","title":"The Day and the Hour","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51263050481937,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51263053070609,"sku":"NIN9780578861135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0578861135.jpg?v=1750815675"},{"product_id":"day-and-the-hour-book-lynn-andrew-9780578614281","title":"The Day and the Hour","description":"This seventh volume contains more pages because more is going on in the little town. You would not believe what people are doing while knowing that the Rapture will whisk them away tomorrow, but I think you will agree that the episodes on these pages are more likely than all-day prayer meetings. We could name a number of reasons for this because they are the same reasons that let us go with the flow on any day and hour. Dare we ask what stands behind that? Is it not disbelief? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvents must take place that were scheduled and for which preparations have been made, of course. That this is the last opportunity to experience them is added justification. Naming a few, there is a championship baseball game; there is a craft fair at the park; there are sailing lessons on the lake. Why is there is a secular concert in the church auditorium tonight, supplanting the last of Pastor Murphy's week-long evening services? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe watch the game unfold play-by-play with Homer Foster pitching for the home team and his friend Victoria Martin pitching for rival Herne as they battle for the Youth Autumn League championship title, while Leila Labaki and Harrietta Foster converse in the stands, and home-team manager Earl Clark exchanges provocations with his nemesis Al Cypher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn this her first sailing lesson Leila learns so quickly that she begins coaching the other sailors, leaving her instructor Earl Clark with nothing to do but admire her. Afterward she joins Evelyn in the baptism event which brings together explosive elements causing Earl to leave town. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe implied or direct focus is always on responses to the imminence of the Parousia, for these books constitute a comprehensive look at the Rapture from every angle. I think we all want to know how it can fit the biblical data and not be silly and unscientific. Though Pastor Murphy has attempted to delve into this realistically, tomorrow morning he will find the real answer. Is he free of doubts today as he thinks about that? Can anyone be free of doubts? Is it really a hoax? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile often discussing theology directly, these books deal in illustrations. Illustrations bring application to life. An illustration need not be unique, but if not even one illustration can be found, the abstract words of the application are not so inspiring. It's like instructions on the page of a cookbook. We must follow the instructions and prepare the food in order to taste it. Deciding whether or not we go ahead and do so may depend on an illustration. Of course experienced cooks taste the food just by skimming the ingredient list. Likewise, commentary writers have no use for illustrations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51650470445329,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51650470609169,"sku":"NIN9780578614281","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0578614286.jpg?v=1751073187"},{"product_id":"day-and-the-hour-book-lynn-andrew-9780578665078","title":"The Day and the Hour","description":"Would you be surprised if the hour passes without making anyone disappear? You have to get this close to a beloved impossibility to realize it is impossible. Was there any true certainty before the final day and hour? If not, what does that say about the certainty of heaven? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut much better than introspection is to enjoy being connected to the vine, who is Christ, and by his Spirit believing his basic promise of resurrection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, resurrection is a frightful thing when you understand it, because if you have not been careful to get rid of them before, you drag into it all the errors of your life which you liked well enough to keep. So let us be sure we understand what God means to do in the resurrection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether or not there is a Rapture, there is a resurrection to prepare for, and the resurrection is inseparable from the return of Christ and the kingdom of God on earth. But before dismissing the Rapture, ask how it fits with the kingdom, for if it turns out to be essential, you surely don't want to be left behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe obvious thing to notice about the Rapture is that it is very selective and cannot be otherwise, simply because the candidates are all born in a narrow band of history spanning barely one century. Taking this fact as a clue to its purpose, we have an obligation to carefully consider how the second coming of Christ must transpire with or without the Rapture. Or to state it graphically, we look behind the doctrine of the Rapture to see if it is connected in some essential way to the rest of prophetic Scripture. Is it more substantive than merely the shadow of a single Parousia? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf the Rapture appears to be a distinct but essential part of the Second Coming, then we have no choice: we have the messy task of defending the impossible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTherefore, \u003ci\u003eThe Day and Hour\u003c\/i\u003e series could not be complete without looking into the arrangements necessary for bringing about the well-documented kingdom of God on earth. That will be the last volume, but to help some of our characters get into the kingdom age we need the link which is book nine.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53668584227089,"sku":"NIN9780578665078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780578665078.jpg?v=1781484766"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-lynn-andrew.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
