The Crisis of the End Time
The full title of this
book is The Crisis of the End Time: Keeping Your Relationship With
Jesus in Earth's Darkest Hour. The purpose of the book is to give an
overview of the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of the end time with
an emphasis on the gospel as the way to prepare for the final crisis.
The topics covered include Sunday laws, the 144,000, the seal of
God, the mark of the beast, the latter rain, the shaking, the loud cry,
the close of probation, the battle of Armageddon, and the second coming
of Christ, among others. The book uses both the Bible and Ellen White as inspired
authorities. It has 253 pages.
The Coming Great Calamity
Both the Bible and Ellen White
inform us that the world will be faced with
a terrible crisis just before the second coming of Jesus. The prophet
Daniel called this period of earth's history "a time of distress such as has not happened from the
beginning of nations until then" (Daniel 12:1). This time of distress
will be caused by terrible natural disasters, which Ellen White
described in some detail. These disasters, in turn, will open the way
for people to accept God's final warning. They will also bring about the
final conflict between good and evil, the result of which will be fierce
persecution against God's people. The book is based on both the Bible
and Ellen White. It has 190 pages.
How to Think About the End Time
For years I've been aware of a number of misconceptions about the end
time that are held by some Adventists. Some of these misconceptions are
destructive of a healthy Christian experience. The letters, emails, and
phone calls that I received after becoming editor of Signs of the
Times in 1994 further called my attention to these and other misconceptions.
I finally decided to write a book analyzing these misconceptions and
guiding the reader to better ways to think about the end time. Because
many of our misconceptions about the end time arise out of statements
made by Ellen White, she figures prominently in the book, along with the
Bible. The book has 221 pages.
Forever His
I enjoy talking about the end time, but I find the greatest pleasure in
leading men and women to understand the good news of righteousness by
faith—both the assurance of our salvation through Jesus Christ and the
pathway to victory over sin. The full title of this book is Forever
His: How to have a joyful and unbroken relationship with Jesus. An
additional subtitle says, "Practical advice from the book of Romans." As
the second subtitle suggests, Forever His presents the gospel of
salvation as Paul outlined it in the first eight chapters of his letter
to the Christians in Rome. While Ellen White's understanding of
righteousness by faith has contributed significantly to my views on the
topic, this book is strictly a biblical study. I do not mention or quote
Ellen White even once. Thus, the book is very appropriate to share with
non-Adventist friends and relatives. It has 191 pages.
The full title of
this book is Conquering the Dragon Within: How to overcome temptation
through a relationship with Jesus. The first third of the book is on
justification. It explains the sinner's relationship to Jesus when he
first comes to Him and as he progresses in his victory over sin. The last two thirds
of the book, on sanctification, offers
practical advice for overcoming besetting sins. It analyzes sin in
the light of modern addiction theory, and the concepts of the Twelve
Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous form a significant part of the suggestions
for victory. I also use Ellen White as an authority throughout. A series of charts helps to clarify the organization of the
book visually. It has 300 pages.
The Gospel vs. Legalism
The full title of
this book is The Gospel vs. Legalism: How to Deal With Legalism's
Insidious Influence. It is an overview of Galatians—a church
established by Paul in the
first century A.D. that experienced a major problem with Jewish
legalism. Paul's treatment of the law in GaIatians has caused
considerable consternation among Adventists, because the "schoolmaster"
verses in chapter 3:24, 25 seem to suggest that the law was done away with at
the cross. The book analyzes these statements carefully and points out
Paul's real meaning, which has nothing to do with abolishing the law.
The last several chapters are about Adventist legalism and how to deal
with it both in one's own life and in one's relationships with legalists. The
book as 191 pages. It is out of print and is no longer available at Adventist
Book Centers. However, I have several dozen copies available
for purchase. Please send a $12 check (includes shipping costs) to:

The Coming Global Crisis
The full title of this book is How to
Prepare for the Coming Global Crisis: A Spiritual Survival Guide.
It was the Adventist Church's sharing book of the year for 2001.
The first three chapters discuss the nature of crises in our personal
and community life. The rest of the book is an easy-to-read presentation
of the gospel of righteousness by faith, including both justification
and sanctification. The book is ideal for sharing with your
non-Adventist friends. It has 128 pages.
The Antichrist and the New World Order
The purpose of this
book is to share the key aspects of the Adventist understanding of the
end-time with the non-Adventist reader. It is a mini-version of the last
part of Ellen
White's The Great Controversy, but in language and with evidence
from the twentieth century rather than the nineteenth. The tone is
respectful of both Catholics
and Protestants. At the same time, it presents forthrightly why
Adventists believe the mark of the beast will be fulfilled by Sunday
laws, how spiritualism is linked to our human condition in death, and
why spiritualism will be a key end-time issue. The book has 128
pages.
El Antichristo y El Nuevo Orden Mundial
(Spanish edition of The Antichrist and the New World Order)
Este
libro tiene como propósito
compartir con el lector no adventista los aspectos clave de lo que el
adventismo entiende por el tiempo del fin. Es una versión resumida de
la última parte de El gran conflicto de Elena G. de White, en un
lenguaje actualizado y con evidencias recientes. En un tono respetuoso,
tanto para el católico como para el protestante, manifiesta con toda
franqueza porqué los adventistas creen que la marca de la bestia se
cumplirá con las leyes dominicales. Enseña tambien que hay vida después
de la muerte, cómo esto se conecta en la enseñanza biblical sobre el
espiritismo y la condicion del hombre en la muerte, y porque el
espiritismo sera un tema clave del tiempo del fin. El libro consta de
128 páginas.
How to Grow in Jesus
This
booklet is something like Steps to Christ in contemporary
language. The full title is How to Grow in Jesus: Sanctification Made
Simple. It is part of Pacific Press's "Discovery" series
that was designed for use by pastors, evangelists, and lay persons to
share with people they are studying with. It explains in simple language the
relationship between faith and works, how to over-come temptation, and
how Jesus relates to us during the process. It has 28 pages.
What Happens When You Die?
Most
non-Adventists find it easier to accept our teaching about the Sabbath
than they do our teaching about the state of the dead. A key issue
relative to the state of the dead is whether the Bible teaches that
human beings have an immortal "soul" that survives the death of the body
in a conscious state. This 32-page book
provides New
Testament evidence that it does not. The full title is What Happens
When You Die? What the New Testament Teaches About Life After Death.
Yet Will I Serve Him
This
book is a collection of stories, most of which were originally printed
in Guide and Insight magazines. The book was first
published by Southern Publishing Association with the title Witnesses
Through Trial. Each story is about a Christian whose demeanor in a
very difficult situation led another person to an understanding of
truth. In some cases these persons accepted the truth and acted on it.
In others they did not. Most of the stories are very dramatic. They take
place in many parts of the world and in different times. One story is
"other-worldly." The book has 11 stories and 128 pages.
How to Handle Fatigue
A study
several years ago showed that more than 50 percent of all persons
admitted to a hospital listed fatigue as one of their initial
complaints. Most people, when they feel tired, think they need rest. Not
necessarily. They may just need a brisk walk or a good drink of water!
This book explains both physical and emotional fatigue and provides
practical suggestions for dealing with each one. It has 32 pages.
