A special thanks to Tyndale House Publishers for sending me a complimentary copy of Mark Hitchcock’s book, The End Times Survival Guide.
As stated in the book, a poll was
taken a few years ago which revealed that most American Evangelicals believe we
are currently living in the last days. With globalization and the Great Commission,
conflicts in the Middle East, increasing natural disasters and the exponential
rise of selfish behavior, we know that “as the end approaches, the enemy is
ramping up the attacks in a final onslaught.”[1] Thus,
in light of Christ’s soon return, how are we to live?
Hitchcock presents the reader
with ten Biblical strategies for Christians to live by as we wait for the second
coming of Christ. Payer, community, faithfulness, and trust in the Lord are four
clear areas of life that we as believers are to be involved in as active
participants. Whether the Father chooses to send Jesus back in our lifetime or
wait another hundred years, we are commanded to be filled with His Spirit (Eph.
5:15-18) so that we can wisely make the best use of our time.
The End Times Survival Guide is an incredible book which I would
recommend to all Christians. Hitchcock teaches through various passages of
Scripture while using everything from historical references, statistics,
creative storytelling, and much more for the sake of helping the reader to
obtain a greater understanding of God’s Word.
Another one of his books that I
would highly recommend is Russia Rising.
