<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Twentieth-century evangelist Herbert Lockyer describes how to live as a Christian in the light of the second coming of Christ"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>If you knew that within the next twenty-four hours Christ would return, according to His promise, what would you change? <br> Legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer examines what Scripture has to say about the second coming of the Lord, emphasizing the signs of the coming, the hope of the church, the attitude of the believer, and the features of constant readiness. <br> In an era when the second coming has been sensationalized, reduced to ridicule, used as an excuse for domination, or forgotten altogether, Lockyer's calm and clear exposition of pertinent passages, including 1 Thessalonians 5, is a refreshing reflection on Christ's certain appearing.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Herbert Lockyer </b>(1886-1984) considered becoming an actor when he was first deciding on a career. Tall and well-spoken, he seemed a natural for the theater. But the Lord had something better in mind. Instead of the stage, God called Herbert to the pulpit, where, as a pastor, a Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books, he touched the hearts and lives of millions of people. <br> Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute's fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London. <br> In 1955, he returned to England, where he lived for many years. He then returned to the United States, where he spent the final years of his life in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his son, the Rev. Herbert Lockyer Jr., a Presbyterian minister who eventually became his editor.
