AD70 and the End of the World: Finding Good News in Christ's Prophecies and Parables of Judgment
By Paul Ellis
The emphasis of The Everyday Kingdom is our daily lives, not end times prophecy. Indeed, our approach is that once we live in Christ's Kingdom daily, life in the eternal Kingdom follows naturally. Nevertheless, the Bible holds end times prophecies and having them in the proper perspective helps us develop a more mature relationship with Jesus and the Kingdom. Paul Ellis does a masterful job at presenting that perspective.
Ellis offers an alternative, gospel-based perspective of the last days. Based on an in-depth study of scripture and the forgotten lessons of history, he reveals the astonishing good news hidden within Christ’s parables and prophecies of judgment. This book is your antidote to pessimistic prophecy. It answers questions about Judgment Day, the rapture, and the end of the age.

Mere Christianity
By C.S. Lewis
During World War II the BBC asked Lewis if he would deliver a series of talks to the British people about what Christians believe. He did so, and masterfully. His talks became this classic of Christian literature. Mere Christianity is an excellent place for someone wanting to understand Christianity better to begin the quest, or for the committed Christian to return to the basics. At the end of Chapter 3, Lewis presents this choice to everyone grasping for the meaning of Christ: "Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse." In that statement alone, Lewis cuts to the core choice. The book leaves you not questioning the faith of the Christian.
