Why do good people lose their faith?It rarely happens overnight.More often, faith slowly weakens through disappointment, unanswered prayers, difficult church history questions, painful experiences, spiritual dryness, discouragement, social pressure, or the quiet distractions of everyday life.Yet many believers emerge from those same struggles with a stronger faith than they had before.What makes the difference?In Why People Lose Their Faith (And How To Keep It), author A. Howard North compassionately explores the real reasons sincere Christians struggle to believe—and offers practical, Christ-centered principles for building a faith that can endure life's hardest questions.Written from a Latter-day Saint perspective while building upon the shared foundation of the Bible, this book respectfully addresses issues faced by Christians across many traditions. Difficult topics—including doubt, church history, unanswered prayer, offense, spiritual warfare, personal tragedy, and intellectual questions—are approached honestly, without fear, sensationalism, or easy answers.Inside you'll discover:• Why faith rarely disappears overnight• How discouragement, offense, and spiritual drift quietly weaken belief• Practical ways to strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ• How to recognize spiritual deception without becoming consumed by fear• A balanced approach to difficult church history questions• Why unanswered prayers do not mean God has abandoned you• How scripture, prayer, worship, and service build enduring faith• Why even fragile faith can become unshakable when anchored in ChristWhether you're experiencing your own faith crisis, helping someone you love, or simply wanting to build a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ, this book offers biblical truth, practical wisdom, and hope for the journey.It is not a book written to win arguments.It is written to help people keep their faith.Because the goal isn't merely to answer every question.The goal is to know Jesus Christ—and to trust Him when not every question has an immediate answer.

"e;Even so, come, Lord Jesus."e; — Revelation 22:20For nearly two thousand years, Christians have looked forward to the glorious return of Jesus Christ. Yet confusion, speculation, and sensational predictions have often overshadowed what Scripture actually teaches.What did Jesus say would happen before His return?How can believers recognize the signs without becoming consumed by fear or endless date-setting?What events should Christians watch for—and which popular ideas deserve closer examination?In Even So, Come, Lord Jesus, author A. Howard North provides a thoughtful, Scripture-centered guide to biblical prophecy that helps readers understand the events leading to the Second Coming while keeping their focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ.Rather than promoting sensational theories or predicting dates, this book carefully examines the prophetic roadmap found throughout the Bible, drawing together the teachings of Jesus, the Old Testament prophets, the apostles, and the Book of Revelation into a clear and encouraging picture of God's plan.Inside you'll discover:What Jesus taught about the signs of His comingHow current world events compare with biblical prophecyThe purpose of the gathering of IsraelThe role of Jerusalem in the last daysWhy deception is one of the greatest signs of the timesThe rise of false prophets and counterfeit spiritualityWhat Scripture teaches about tribulation, hope, and perseveranceHow Christians should prepare spiritually instead of living in fearWhy the Second Coming is ultimately a message of hope, not terrorWritten with humility, careful research, and deep respect for Scripture, this book encourages readers to look beyond headlines and speculation and instead anchor their confidence in Jesus Christ.Because prophecy was never meant to satisfy our curiosity.It was given to strengthen our faith.Whether you are new to biblical prophecy or have studied it for years, Even So, Come, Lord Jesus will help you understand the signs of the times while deepening your love for the Savior whose return every Christian longs to see.
