THE DEAD RISE FIRST
Rapture Countdown
by
Alton Ragan and Robert D. McLaughlin
About the Book:
In the small town of Jordan, Oklahoma residents find themselves the victim of a shocking terrorist attack. A society so completely dependant on technology for its security and commerce has suddenly been turned upside down. Even worse than the uncertainty of their immediate safety is another problem that no one can explain.
People who have been dead for years are popping up all over town, appearing and giving witness that the Rapture of the Church is eminent but for the lost, the Great Tribulation. Who will listen to their message and repent and who will refuse to believe their own eyes?
Meet Jack, a pastor who is suddenly slapped in the face by what has happened and then baffled when he spots Sister Gregg, a former member of his church. The only trouble is the last time he saw the woman was at her own funeral. The town begins to shake at these events and as a church turns to their leader, Pastor Jack desperately searches for the answers he must give his congregation. How much time remains for people to repent is anyone’s guess, for Jack and his flock it’s a race to reach the lost.
The Dead Rise First is a fast paced, intriguing read for anyone interested in the Rapture. This book brings something new to readers and is provoking discussion among scholars with this one question: why do the dead rise first? Although purely fiction, the events are based on scriptural answers that unearth a new understanding concerning the rapture of the Church. Does it reveal a mystery about how God will raise the dead in Christ as seen in 1Thess. 4:13-14? Will it be the same way Jesus resurrected in Matthew 27:52-53? You decide.
MY REVIEW:
This book was very interesting and I love to read about when Christ comes back to take His children home, want that be a great day! I find that this book as ever fiction book that is written, is what the author believes and some of it I agree with but I always go back to that GRAND OLD BOOK, "THE BIBLE" God's Holy word. I find as all Christians do that studying the Bible needs to cross reference with other people's beliefs and other books that have been written by men or women that have been to school just for this purpose. This book explains it different that I have ever heard before, I know the Bible says that when Jesus returns "The dead in Christ shall rise first" so buy this book and read it for yourself, you may just learn something that you have never thought of before.
