Banner Mini-Guides - Last Things: Preparing for the Future in the Present

When discussing the 'last things,' what often comes to our minds is the book of Revelation and its striking visions - and often unhelpful speculation about their details. David McKay focuses instead on the Bible's clear message about things to come: the Lord's return, the certainty of judgment, the resurrection, and the reality of eternity. In doing so he returns to the real purpose of God's revelation - providing comfort, warning, and strength to endure.

Banner Mini-Guides introduce the reader to some of the major themes and issues related to the Christian faith. They lay a solid foundation of Bible teaching while encouraging more thorough exploration of the theme with suggestions for further reading. The mini-guides will seamlessly fit into the teaching quarters of the church year with their thirteen-chapter format, making them useful for group as well as for individual study.
