From panic to punchline, public perception about the return of Christ reveals an alarming lack of understanding of biblical prophecy. In The King is Coming, Pastor Erwin Lutzer lends his knowledgeable, careful handling of a topic that leaves even mature believers and students with difficult questions and unclear conclusions. For the outsiders who doubt end-times prophecy, it's a wake-up call. For those afraid that they can't ever know the answers, The King is Coming is a comfort. For anyone willing to take a serious look into the future, it is an encouraging and compelling call to action.

Review
Here is a healthy dose of sanity on the study of prophecy. My friend Erwin Lutzer writes from long hours of informed study and presents essential truths with compelling clarity. He navigates our reading boat away from the rocks of sensationalism on the one side and complacency on the other, guiding us to listen well to God's prophetic Word.
Mark L. Bailey President, Dallas Theological Seminary
There are peace-keepers and there are truth-tellers. I have always found Erwin Lutzer to be the latter, whether in his powerful preaching, incisive teaching, or dynamic writing. You'll find The King Is Coming represents the best of one of evangelicalism's most persuasive thinkers on a topic crucial to all.
Jerry B. Jenkins Novelist and Biographer Owner, Christian Writers Guild
In a day when people are starved for an answer about the end of the world and the second coming, Erwin Lutzer answers with a biblical, expositional, rational, thoughtful book on the coming of Christ. Here you will find rare insight from God's Word by one of today's most scholarly pastors.
Mac Brunson Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church Jacksonville, Florida
What a clear picture of prophecy and its practical relevance for our lives today! Spending the past fourteen years studying and writing inductive Precept courses on all the historical and prophetic books of the Old Testament has given me an even greater appreciation for Dr. Lutzer's book. Not only is he easy to understand and objective in his presentation, he is compelling in his reminder that we as Christians will all stand at the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for how we've lived. If we understood this sobering truth, it would change the way we live now.
Kay Arthur Co-Founder, Precept Ministries International
Finally! With fresh observation and clarifying exposition, Erwin Lutzer has taken difficult prophetic issues and placed them within our reach. But he isn't satisfied to simply provide biblical answers about the world of tomorrow; he's passionate in preparing us to walk wisely in our world today.
Stephen Davey Pastor/Teacher, Colonial Baptist Church, Cary, North Carolina President, Shepherds Theological Seminary
The King Is Coming:what a great title and what a great promise! The Bible predicts many things about the future, but the most important prophecy of all is the promise that Jesus is coming again. Don't miss Dr. Lutzer's insightful, captivating, and provocative new book. It will stir your soul and bless your heart.
Ed Hindson Distinguished Professor, School of Religion Liberty University
Erwin Lutzer has done a masterful job of presenting what Billy Graham has called the most neglected doctrine of our faith: the second coming of Jesus Christ. Dr. Lutzer avoids getting bogged down in the peripheral issues of eschatology and focuses on how the certainty of Christ's return should affect our lives today. This hope-filled book is must reading for every believer.
Robert Jeffress Pastor, First Baptist Church Dallas
Imagine! A book on prophecy whose primary purpose is not to satisfy our curiosity but to change our lives by motivating us to live in light of the Lord's return. My friend Erwin Lutzer has written a book that will inform you, bless you, and remind you that time is short and eternity will soon begin.
James Meeks Pastor, Salem Baptist Church Chicago
Lutzer presents the book of Revelation with the mind of a scholar and the heart of a pastor. Regardless of your view of the end times, these words will challenge, equip, and inspire you to deeper devotion to Christ and a life that longs for His coming. This is a book both to read and to savor as you seek to understand God's plan for the last days.
John Ankerberg Founder and president, The John Ankerberg Show
In a world of extremism, what a pleasure it is to welcome a book on the return of Christ that neither races to embrace apocalyptic speculation nor shrinks from the clear teaching of God's Word. Guided by pastoral intentions, this beloved pastor and Bible teacher walks the reader through the Lord's program for the future, demonstrating clearly how this knowledge should radically alter how we live. The reader will be challenged, invigorated, and stirred to hope as he turns every page.
DR. ERWIN LUTZER has served as senior pastor of the Moody Church in Chicago for over 30 years. A renowned theologian, Dr. Lutzer earned his BTh from Winnipeg Bible College, a ThM from Dallas Theological Seminary, and an MA in philosophy from Loyola University. He is an award-winning author and the featured speaker on three radio programs that can be heard on more than 700 radio stations in the United States and around the world. Dr. Lutzer and his wife, Rebecca, live in the Chicago area and have three grown children and eight grandchildren.
