Wayne Jacobsen's It's Time! is a tender, urgent, and Spirit-infused call to the heart of every believer who dares to ask: What if Jesus is coming back sooner than we think-and are we living like it matters? In this moving collection of spiritual letters, Jacobsen writes not with fear or fanaticism, but with deep love and prophetic insight-guiding Christ's followers into readiness not just for His return, but for the kind of radiant, resilient faith needed in these final hours. Drawing from the imagery of the Bride of Christ, Jacobsen paints a portrait of a people set apart longing not for escape, but for intimacy with the Bridegroom. His tone is pastoral and poetic, rooted in Scripture and overflowing with wisdom born of experience and prayer. As he walks the hills near his home and listens to the whisper of the Spirit, he passes on that whisper to us reminding us of what it means to live faithfully in an age clouded by darkness and deception. This is not apocalyptic speculation. It's spiritual preparation. With honesty and clarity, Jacobsen reminds us that whether Christ returns in 10 years or 150, there must always be a generation willing to: ? Love beyond self-preservation ? Shine brighter than the lies of the age ? Walk in unshakable trust amid the shaking of nations ? Anchor hope not in outcomes, but in God's sovereign storyWhat makes It's Time! so compelling is that it doesn't scream for attention it sings. It calls quietly, yet powerfully, to the Bride of Christ to awaken, to prepare, and to live as though eternity is nearer than we think.
