LONGWOOD, FL-Looking for signs that the Second Coming is at hand? Look no further than Jaap Dieleman's The Coming of the King of Kings ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-100-4). Already a bestseller in the Netherlands, the book now makes its debut on American bookshelves with content that will inspire readers to anticipate the coming of Christ, live a holy life, and share the gospel with as many people as possible. This summary of 2,000 years of Christian expectancy combines Scripture with current events to make a case for Jesus' imminent return.
"My study of Bible prophecy, linked to my experience as a traveling minister and my observation of the present-day developments in the world, have enabled and inspired me to write this book for the benefit of preparing the bride of Christ for the coming of the Bridegroom," says Dieleman, a former drug addict who reformed his life when he got saved 30 years ago. He goes to great pains to link Bible prophecies with current world headlines to show the progression of events in preparation for Christ's coming. This, he believes, will help readers live a holy life until that moment. "Now is the time to share GodŐs love with all and to warn people to flee God's coming judgment," says Dieleman. "This book gives us a glimpse of the eternal destiny that God has prepared for those who await His glorious appearance."
Jaap Dieleman has been married for 27 years to his Indonesian wife, Antje, and they live in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. They have five children and one grandson. Dieleman started his ministry in 1977 under the name "Herald of the Good News." As an evangelist, he has traveled to more than 40 nations to preach the gospel, to train leaders and pastors, and to stir up a passion for Christ in the heart of his listeners. He is the author of 15 books, many of which have been published in foreign languages.
