LONGWOOD, FL--Nothing in human experience or in the natural world is immune to Jesus Christ's control. His hand, in the affairs of this world, brings meaning, comfort, security, and hope to all people and creation. His Lordship and authority bring assurance of a Savior who will usher in a new and eternal kingdom when He comes again. That is why Xulon Press author Dr. Jerrien Gunnink penned Revelation 101: What in the World Is Jesus Doing Now ($10.99, paperback, 978-1-61579-611-3)--to help readers live in the assurance that a sovereign God has enabled Jesus to control history, resulting in the destruction of evil and the establishment of a new world. In this gripping new book, Gunnink gives readers an overview of Jesus' activity since He went to heaven, explaining in simple, understandable language what He is doing in His present reign.
"Personal questions will be answered that arise in the daily events of life," the author says. "The persistent 'why' questions can be interpreted in light of what Jesus is doing today in God's world. Since Jesus is Lord, He is in control of preserving and caring for His church, calling all people to join it, warning nations and peoples through natural catastrophes that a day of reckoning is coming, and finalizing the conflict between God and Satan with the banishment of Satan and all evil from the new world to come. This is good news."
Gunnink comes from a family whose interest has always been biblical eschatology. His interest in end-time events was passed on to his older sister and then to him from his parents, both of whom were avid students of prophecy. Ever since then, the author has devoted more than 55 years of his life to studying and preaching about the Bible from an exegetical approach. In this, his second published work, he hopes to help spread that infectious enthusiasm to readers who are looking to relate current events with Jesus' present power and position.
