*Condition Note: Dust jacket in place. Moderate underlining, otherwise minor overall wear.*

Here is Christ-centered assurance that will help you joyfully anticipate Jesus' second coming rather than fear the time of trouble. Dr. Gulley shifts our focus from thinking about enduring to the end to trusting Christ's infinite power to protect those He has redeemed.
