Summary

There is no promise in the Bible that is more certain than the return of Jesus. When He returns it will be apparent to the entire world. When Jesus comes back it will be in the same manner in which He left-in a tangible glorified body. He will come to bring judgment on the world and establish His Kingdom. The problem is that the Church is not ready for His soon appearing! Jesus is coming back for a Church without spot or wrinkle. Sadly, this does not describe today's Church. Yet God is merciful and He has given instructions on how we can be prepared for the events to come. The purpose of Getting Ready is to reveal those instructions. Dr. Daniel Sweger draws on his many years of ministry to unveil God's warning and prepare us for the "fig leaf-generation." Are you ready? Book jacket.
