Before God's Wrath

Summary: A must read for fair-minded students of eschatology
Review: In recent decades you are almost to be considered a heretic within the evangelical community if you do not accept the pre-tribulational account of the end-times and the Return of Christ.

The imminent return of the Christ. The pre-tribulation rapture of the church. The rise of a second-class set of tribulation saints. These doctrines are familiar and comfortable because they make us feel safe and unthreatened about the return of our Lord. Unfortunately, these doctrines fly in the face of the entire story of Christianity. Suffering is a normal part of the Christian life. How often we forget that here in comfortable America.

Coming from an evangelical, bible-centered perspective, H.L. Nigro's presents a comphrensive and detailed discussion of the relevant passages that discuss the end times. What do the passages say in plain language? What is the normal interpretation of a verse compare to other relevant passages?

I've found her book to be the most consistent and common sense interpretation of the end-times that I have yet read. It is well researched and comphrehensive, reviewing both the old and new testament passages concerning the return of the Lord. The book is also contains many discussions and rebuttals of the common assumptions that evangelicals make regarding end times studies.

If you are content to feel warm and fuzzy about the return of Christ, then read the Left Behind series or other pre-trib books. If you are a serious student of the end times, then you owe it to yourself to at least consider other points of view. This book is well worth your time and money and may possibly change the way your regard the Christian life. I highly recommend that you read and consider what this book has to offer.

Summary: One of the few
Review: It's very hard to find a book about Christ's return that doesn't have major assumptions stated as fact on every page. There is no arrogance found here, and every disagreement the author has with other views is delivered with grace. H.L Nigro's book is one of the few I have found on this subject that speaks of the heart issues concerning Christ's return/rapture. The rapture is shown to be more than a timing issue. Not only is there passage after passage quoted from the bible in this book for the reader to study on their own, I counted over 20 charts that helps one visualize the points H.L. Nigro is making! Unlike many end times books, the foundation of "Before God's Wrath" is not based upon two or three verses. "Before God's Wrath" is well worth your valuable time, and in my opinion, a must read for the majority of the Church.
