Review Quotes:
"How envious we are--with a holy jealousy--of Christians in an earlier generation to ours who would walk home, hand in hand, at the end of a Lord's Day service, and, seeing the sun setting and the sky radiant with beauty, and full of the word and presence of Christ from the preaching that they had heard, they would naturally and instinctively be talking together of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ: 'What if it were tonight? We would see the face of our dear Savior!' For them it was a living hope. Did they have something essential that we have lost? I believe my life is poorer without this anticipation; let us strive to regain it. This book will truly help. Pray that this momentous event will be always the greatest reality of our futures." --Geoffrey Thomas, retired pastor, conference speaker, and prolific author
