This is an incredible book to read of the end of the church - and the end times. It tells you of what the church predicted and how they are coming true right now. for example it says in Revelation there will be worldwide famine - well in the book it says, "Imagine the scale of impact when global famine eventually hits the world, as forecast in Revelation. Look around, and you'll see that our world is also facing a number of humanitarian crises, one of which is the more than 780 million hungry people in the world today." This is just the beginning of the book. It goes into a one world economy and we are on the verge of that - and so on and so on - everyone - we are on our way home - I pray - hope - can't wait - Yah hoo. This book is full of information and it is all backed up by Revelation, and that is THE most important thing - please people do not take what someone has to say at face value because they wrote something - a book - a news article - whatever - or even speaks something - always - always - take what they have and if it is not backed up by Scripture then throw it out - take it with a grain of salt - (that is one of the best advise my father gave me, a pastor).

I was afraid when I started this book it was going to be a rather shallow conversational warning about what’s wrong with the church today. How wrong I was! Oh, it’s conversational, but it’s also both convicting and encouraging. Very convicting. And there is nothing shallow about it.
They start by defining apostasy. They carefully demonstrate what God means when He speaks of apostasy. That was convicting. It can be easy to spot apostasy in TV preachers, but after you read this book you’ll see just how far it has crept into your own life.
One of their main examples is the recent acceptance of homosexual marriage. They examine the most often heard excuses for accepting it. Then they show that to accept them is to step out of line with the scriptures, to apostatize.
They don’t leave you there, though. They teach the Biblical remedy. It’s wonderfully encouraging to see that it’s a simple remedy. Return to the Scriptures. Return to Christ as He has revealed himself.
But be warned. Christ told us apostasy would increase just before his return. Are we living through that apostasy? Possibly. They aren’t dogmatic on that point, but they are warning about it so we will be aware of the dangers that are out there.
The only thing I could wish is that he stuck with one Bible version to quote from. Personally, I find it very annoying when an author jumps from version to version. He uses five different versions.
Please let me recommend it to you. It is worth reading.
I received this book as a free ARC from NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers. No review was necessary, but it was my pleasure to write it.

I am voluntarily reviewing The Coming Apostasy through the publisher and Netgalley:

The authors point out Sound Doctrine is under siege. The authors use the Mystery of The Mary Celeste a ship that in 1872 was headed to Genoa Italy, but when they were long overdue the ship was discovered with no signs of life, nearly a century and a half later the mystery of what happened on the Mary Celeste remains just that, a mystery. The book reminds us that we are adrift like The Mary Celeste.

The book points out that prophecy points out that Russia is poised to be an end times player. The book reminds us too that entire Dominations are on the verge of sinking. But if we hold on to the (anchor) Christ we will not sink.

We are warned too of the great falling away during the last days, many who were once believers will fall away from that faith.
I give The Coming Apostasy five out of five stars.

Happy Reading
