Perry goes to the definitive source on the subject: the Bible itself. • While the book is as exciting as an action/adventure novel, the author’s primary source is the Bible, and he guides his readers to an understanding of the Last Days by using related Scripture. • Covers Bible basics and the Signs of the Times. • Includes timelines of every stage leading up to the Last Days and after.
