A Glory Filled Future

"i have known this author for the past twenty-five years or more.  i have known john to be a student of the word of god.  he is a man that lives out the convictions of his heart.

as i read this manuscript, i am reminded of a country song recorded by country artist, garth brooks. the song: “if tomorrow never comes”. brooks sings about his wife and her knowing how much he truly loves her. john brings out what a genuine relationship with jesus christ produces. love.  being prepared to actually meet jesus, if tomorrow never comes.  true in marriage and true in life, we are the bride of christ preparing for our wedding.

as you read the book you now hold in your hands, allow the word of god to penetrate your heart, to search the hidden chambers and reveal everything needed for you to be truly ready for the wedding."

"john’s study of ancient jewish wedding customs brings fresh and challenging insights into the many scriptures relating to end times.

you will find yourself reading passages that john cites and asking the holy spirit for still more insight and wisdom; always a good reaction."
