A major theme in the Bible is God's use of signs to communicate with humanity. In The Signs that Follow, author Raphael Vasquez provides a plethora of scriptural support for the significance of signs for the Church and Christian believers. He also describes the biblical account of Ananias and Sapphira and the lessons it teaches about the importance of obedience, along with discussion of the deeds and doctrine of the Nicolaitans.

Vasquez argues persuasively that Scripture has provided believers with signs that prove beyond a shadow of doubt the validity of their religion (faith). Vasquez's hope is that serious readers will examine themselves to see if they are truly followers of the Lord (1 Corinthians 11:31, 2 Corinthians 13:5). This nation is in desperate need of the gospel message of the Lord.
