Book Review: How Will The World End? by Jeramie Rinne

I became a Christian during my freshman year of High School and I remember hearing some interesting theories about the return of Christ. I remember that there is going to be some time in the future where all Christians will disappear without a trace and the world goes into chaos. One summer, the head of the 11-12th grade Sunday School department decided to go through the book of Revelation, which was interesting, and gave his reasons why Jesus would return midway through the Great Tribulation.

Throughout the years, many men have come out to say when Jesus will return and gave proof through charts and have even written best selling books. I remember hearing one guy saying Jesus is going to return I feel it in my bones. What makes this interesting is he did not preached from the Bible during his sermon. Basically, his proof for the return of Christ was the "feeling in his bones."

Jeramie Rinne has written a short book to help those confused with the return of Jesus, called, How Will The World End? The focus of this book is to help Christians regain the "big picture about the end of the world" (pg.9). Rinne writes about what will happen before Jesus comes back and what will happen when he comes back. He wrote about the last days. Many Christians are confused by that expression because of some TV preacher. The end times have been around for the last 2,000 years because of the first coming of Jesus. In fact, I love that Rinne called the Second Coming, "Christmas The Sequel."

Rinne takes time to go through the different positions Christians have had over the years regarding the return of Christ which can be confusing if you do not know what each "theory" holds. The last chapter of the book deals with how Christians are to live prior to Jesus coming back which you will not hear from many of the doomsday preachers because they are more focused on scaring people into the kingdom, which can produce false converts.

If you are confused with the teachings of the Second Coming, this book will be a resource for you. If you are a Bible teacher or even a preacher, this book will be a great resource for you to use in preaching/teaching on the return of Christ.

Thanks Good Book Company for letting me review this book.
