Summary: Excellent
Review:
Like all of Renald Showers books, Maranatha is very thorough and very clear in its presentation. If it has any pitfalls, it is in taking TOO much time to explain something, rather than too little. But, better to be safe and clear.This book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone serious about eschatology, particularly if you are premillenial, in which case it is required reading along with Pentecost, Morris and others.

Summary: The best defense of the Rapture since the Bible itself
Review: Doctor Showers is one of the most leaned men you can ever sit under. I have had the pleasure of hearing him several times at Middletown Bible Church, and have found his books to be well written, well sourced, easy to follow, and a great blessing for those who wish to learn God's Word deeper. Doctor Shower's book, MARANTHA! OUR LORD COME is surely the best defense of the Early Church believing that the Rapture was an expected event in their lifetime. While we now know that it did not happen, the teaching is clear from Scripture, and Doctor Showers proves it: The Doctrine of the Rapture is sound and expected that we should be a believer in it for each generation of believers; the immanent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to take His church away before the tribulation. Doctor Showers books are a must for any serious Bible student.

Summary: A Great Resource for Pre-Tribulation Rapture
Review: Dr. Showers goes into GREAT detail to explain the relationships between the ancient Jewish marriage customs and the mysteries concerning the rapture of the church. In a style that would please any "fine print" attorney, Dr. Showers solves the puzzle one piece at a time until you end up with a complete picture that leaves no room for doubt. This is an excellent book presenting an inspired view of the rapture of the church. Look up! Our Lord is coming soon!

Summary: A Pre-Wrather
Review: I am a Pre-Wrather, and yet I have to recommend this book as one of the best works concerning the Doctrine of the Rapture. As a Graduate of the Institute of Jewish Studies (IJS), a school of the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry (FOI), I personally sat under the teaching of Renald (Renie) Showers, and, therefore, I can personally testify to the author's vast knowledge concerning the Holy Scriptures and to his personal credentials for undertaking the writing of this book. This book evolved out the Pre-Wrath schism that occured when Marvin (Marv) Rosenthal resigned from his position as the Executive Director of the Friends of Israel. I am also an acquaintance of Marv Rosenthal, and, as such, I am familiar with the details of this schism on a privileged level. Perhaps the most excellent portion of this work is how Renie Showers relates the details of the Pre-Tribulational Rapture to the details of the Jewish Marriage ceremony. While I still remain unconvinced of his position, I have to admit that this book presents a formidable obstacle, and for that I must commend the author. This book comes highly recommended. "Renie Showers is the man!" Shalom - Soror Samhain

Summary: An Outstanding book on Eschatology
Review: In depth, but he won't loose you. This book handles the future events in a systematic way. Sometimes the pointers in the book get tedious, but that means you can't just sift through this material and think you can grasp many of the facets of the last things. A worthy read.
