Preparing For the Lord's Return is a follow-on to The Coming End of the Age, a book written by the same author. The Coming End of the Age is a detailed chronology of the endtime. It addresses that tumultuous period from an analytical perspective. Preparing For the Lord's Return, on the other hand, approaches the coming endtime from an experiential viewpoint. While it brings into focus the upheavals that occur at the beginning of the tribulation, which unfortunately many Christians will pass through, it also sets forth practices, both individual and corporate, that may help the believer prepare for the Lord's return and escape what is about to come upon the earth. In addition to delving in detail into the events that start the tribulation, it discusses such crucial Christian practices as watchfulness, prayer, calling upon the Lord's Name, reading the Bible, and loving the Lord. A full chapter is also devoted to the proper church life, as depicted in the church in Philadelphia in the book of Revelation.
