An Instant New York Times BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerBestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith—the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King.If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be ready?In The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God.Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognizing its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus’ return, providing a foundation that will help readers:Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands.Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God.Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission.Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King.Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope. Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession.The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing — and reconstructing — a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.THE QUESTIONWhat to make of a life?It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.THE STUDYHis exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies — of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others — is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.THE FINDINGSBy examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to:Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life — one that you are naturally 'encoded' for — and then find a second one, if the first one ends?Overcome a major cliff — a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by stepMinimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?THE TRANSFORMATIONFor the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other and convincingly shows how a richly fulfilled life is within reach for us all.

“Lore of the Watcher angels is an important and often overlooked part of Jewish and Christian traditions that exerts a strong influence on Western magic and occultism. Harold Roth tackles complicated texts like the books of Enoch and Jubilees alongside traditions like Merkavah mysticism and Christian demonology and, in plain language, gives the clearest and best examination of the Watchers and the Nephilim that I have come across yet.”—Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other books  The Book of Enoch has captured and commanded interest for the past two thousand years. Sometimes part of religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the Book of Enoch is more popular today than ever. Still many questions remain. Who was Enoch? Who—or what—were the Watchers, and what knowledge did they bring? What became of their wives and their children, the rapacious half-man, half-angel giants, the Nephilim?  From Renaissance magic of Dr. John Dee and early Christian apocalyptic texts, to contemporary conspiracy theories and modern magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the various approaches to the Book of Enoch are any real attempts to find not only what is at the center of these stories but also their connections to magic. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch identifies and elucidates those connections.
