Lift Up Your Heads

As the year 2000 draws closer, the second coming of Christ will get more and more attention by Christians and non-Christians alike. If the past is any indication, speculative notions will be widespread, many of which will contribute to feelings of fear and anxiety at the prospect of an end to our world.



This book aims to help Christians evaluate the many conflicting ideas about the second coming by examining what the Bible actually says about it.



Important reading any time of year, these four chapters especially lend themselves to an Advent Bible study for adult classes. Study questions for each chapter are provided at the back of the book.



Pastors will also find it a helpful sermon resource for Advent preaching.
