Get Caught Up in the Rapture Religious jargon aside, just what is the rapture? Why is it such a big deal among Christians today? Here are the answers. Could the Rapture Happen Today? clearly defines... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I really enjoyed this book and it provided sound Biblical basis for the Rapture, and more specifically the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Mark Hitchcock did an excellent job exploring all the Rapture and non-rapture positions currently popular among theologians. I was a pre-tribulationist rapture believer before I ran this book, and Brother Hitchcock pretty much used the scriptures with a similar understand that I had, which had lead me to my Pre-Tribulationist stance. The only issue I had with the book was in the Appendix concerning Brother Hitchcock's sequences of events during End Times and Tribulation. However, this minor disagreement isn't something that would deter me from recommending it to any Christian. If you are a Christian, I would recommend this book, and if you are a Eschatology study, it is a must read. I also recommend, to the serious Eschatology student, "Footsteps of the Messiah" by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum.

This was my first book of Mark's to read, and it really blew me away. It's full of scriptural support for Mark's Pre-Trib viewpoint of the Rapture, along with an incredible amount of historical background on where we get the term "rapture" since it's not explicitly named in the Bible. The book is a fast-paced, informative read that will present the concept of the Rapture, the arguments for Pre-Trib, and even answer some Last Days questions you might have. To me, this is a great book to give someone who has questions about what's coming. Mark does an excellent job of giving us hope for the End Times.
Another Great Book by a Great Author!

For a simple but profound understanding of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, look no further than "Could the Rapture Happen Today?" The author goes to great lengths to defend the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and does a fine job of it. He challenges you to read the Bible to see for yourself rather than just take his word for it. This book is a must read!
