Are you ready for the most monumental event in human history? A day is coming when millions of people will suddenly disappear and the world will have a difficult time trying to explain what has happened.

This book is sprightly but respectfully written. It is certainly not deep or complex theologically. It was designed to be read by your average "Joe." It is an excellent complement to Hal Lindsey's books about the Rapture which concentrate more on the biblical explanations and history of church teaching on the topic. Strandberg and James do make excellent use of shaded areas of some pages that allow readers, who are interested to take side trips to particular parts of the bible, to study for themselves that the Rapture is coming and probably sooner than anyone knows.

The book is certainly a witnessing tool for non-believers today; however the book is also addressed to those "left behind." The book anticipates that the Rapture of believers will be the biggest media event of all time. There will be hysteria, panic and a bevy of experts on CNN, FOX and the major networks attempting to provide explanations and answers to grief-stricken, confused people. The book candidly explains what the Book of Revelation foretells about world events coming for these people left behind. Yet, promises from the bible are detailed for those who believe despite persucution. Instructions are clear that one left behind must not accept the mark and worship of the coming world leader.

I pray this book gathers a wide audience. As for me, I plan to leave a copy of the book in my office in the hope one of my co-workers will find it after the Rapture. With the peace efforts by President Bush in the Middle East right now, I have goose pimples that the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah and the Apostle John are so rapidly unfolding right before our eyes.

Todd and Terry have found an unique way to continue their ministry even after they are no longer physically here after the Rapture. Thank you Todd and Terry, not only for the book but also the website that provides even more information:

I read your updates once or twice a week and it encourages my Christian walk to focus on the blessed hope those who will leave in the Rapture have. God bless.

The study of end-time events and Bible prophecy are laid out in easy to read terms and discriptions. Todd Strandberg has a great way with words. It is humorous and yet the information on Bible Prophecy is maintained through out the book. It's a great read and I enjoyed every page.

What stands out in this book compared to others who write on this subject is Todd Strandberg's honesty and humor. He gets the facts straight from the Bible and from world events. It's an eye opener. It is an exciting book to read on this subject and there is not a dull moment.

It's a good book and I recommend it for everyone, both old and young.

This is a wonderful book. It is full of facts and humor. It lays out the reasons why the Pre Trip Rapture will occur. It also lays out the Salvation message. It is very informative on what will happen in the future. This is a good read. It is Bible based. So my final question for you is Are You Rapture Ready? If not read the book!!!

There IS such thing as black and white - right and wrong.

The Bible is either true, or it isn't.

Some proofs in favor of the Bible being true and the existance
of God are as follows:

1) You can calculate Israels return to the exact MONTH and YEAR
from the time of the end of their Babylonian exile. Do you
homework, the research is out there to verify for yourself.

2) The Babylonian King in Daniel 2 had a vision of a statue
made of different metals for different body parts.

Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream outlines the
further history of Gentile world power. The 4 metals of the
statue represent 4 future world empires:
(1) Babylon (Jer. 51:7) - The Head of Gold
(2) Medo-Persia - Left-Right Arms & Chest Of Silver
(3) Greece under Alexander - Belly Thighs Of Bronze
(4) East-West Rome. - Left-Right Legs Of IRON.
Then then much later(after a very long time apparently) these
legs continue into the ten toes, a confederacy made up
largely of European nations (Dan. 7:24-27).

These toes are made of IRON (a fragment of the Roman Empire)
and CLAY (man).

Coincidence? I think not.

3) Jesus made reference to Solomons temple in the end times in
Matt 24 which did not exist along with Israel as a nation after
70 A.D. when the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem. As of 1948,
Israel is back, and so will Solomons temple when the Antichrist
steps onto the seen. Jesus was making reference to a passage
in Daniel, when the Antichrist sits in the rebuilt temple.

Are you Rapture Ready?

This book explains it all, and why you should be
"looking up" in expectation for Christ.

But wait.. wasn't all of these points written "after
the fact"?

No. We have in our posession today the ORIGINAL copies of
the Greek Old Testament which pre-dated Christ by 300 years.
Carbon dating is good within 6-10 thousand years, so it's a
safe bet, it's legit.. especially when you got 3 copies.

Do your homework.

This stuff all checks out.

The real question is. DO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.

This book is an excellent starting book.

Todd's site, was my introduction to the Rapture and his
book nicely ties together all of the articles posted to
it over the years.

I highly recommend it.

If you've read any of the left behind series, or wish to
start, this book is an excellent introduction as well.

THIS IS HAPPENING FOR REAL.

When does it happen? We don't know because the bible says
we cannot know the DAY or the HOUR. But we can know the
SEASON, as Jesus makes reference to Israel in Matt 24 as a
figtree in bloom once again in the end time. He also said
that THIS (the Generation that witnesses it's blooming - or
rebirth - would by no means pass away until all these things
come to pass).

That "generation" Jesus was referring to is the Baby Boomer
Generation who witnessed Israels return in 1948.

Just one more reason to be Rapture Ready.

Are you Rapture Ready?

Todd and Tery do a great job of explaining Bible prophecy with just the right blend of humor to keep it entertaining, yet with the deep insight of years of study.
Many authors have an annoying habit of becoming dogmatic about issues better left to speculation (such as date-setting, or the identity of the anti-Christ), but this book never does that. It simply provides solid Scriptural support for all it's assertions, while sticking to a literal appropach to prophecy sure to please fundamental Christians, or (even more importantly) to edify those seeking the truth who haven't yet found it.

The book is wonderful. It is The most comprehensive book on how we are to get ready of the rapture and the Kingdom of God.

Titus 2:13 NIV ....while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Back in the late 70s my sister became a born again Christian and told us the "good news"...accept Jesus or we're gonna fry in hell...now up until that point, I really didn't think Jesus had it in for me. I thought we were buddies, but this kind of changed the relationship. Whereas before I thought he was cool, now I was beginning to think he was a little bit controlling. Now I had to believe in him. And y'know what? I got just a little resentful and a little bit rebellious. I mean, if I'm gonna be labeled as bad and as a sinner, I want to do some things to back it up.

This idea that I was constantly displeasing God, that I was constantly being tested, that the end times were always just right around the corner really soured my relationship I had with God and by the time I was 19, I really wanted nothing to do with God so I became a born again atheist...at least for a little while.

And what I realized during that little stint, is that God is Real...more Real than anything else because God is Love and Love is God and Love only knows Reality and True Reality cannot be upset or crippled or thwarted because it is the only thing that is Real. So, no, there is nothing I can do that is going to merit punishment in an afterlife. God created me out of Itself. God loves me as much as God loves Jesus because God created me out of the very same stuff that God created Jesus out of. The only difference between Jesus and the rest of us, is that Jesus knew his Oneness with God, most of us, however, have forgotten.

And it's easy to forget with books like this because these books, these religions, these preachers don't believe in Love as much as they believe in fear, they believe in hell more than Heaven, they believe in sin more than they believe in redemption and y'know why boys and girls? Fear sells. Fear keeps the money rollin' in...fear keeps the parking lots of these fundie churches packed...and it is SAD and DISGRACEFUL...that means, without Grace and I think that God is always Gracing us, always embracing us, always making all things new but how can we let the new in when we're focused on sin, on guilt, on fear?

Jesus the Christ embodied Love. I believe in his simple and eloquent teachings. The stuff that was taught after he left the Earth plane was taught by a guy interested mostly in making a name for himself. Is this what we have come to? People have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of the world and there will be an end of the world as we know it now and Christ will return to Earth, not outside of ourselves, but within each one of our hearts. We will see everything and every one through Love, through compassion, through the simple and gentle knowing that what we do to others we do to ourselves and what we do to ourselves we do to God because everything is One. There is no sin, but a mistake, and all sin is simply an error thinking and feeling and acting as if you're separate from God and we never are.

Come out of your fear induced nightmare and come to Love...come to God...come to the realization that Heaven is now and stop buying into fear and stop buying books that promote fear. The only reason why I even read this book was because my friend thought I might find it interesting. I found it very, very sad. Jesus came to this life to remind us to live this life abundantly well, to love one another, to remember God in every situation.

<sigh>

At least I have found a good use for this book, however, the thickness of this book is just right to hold up the leg of this coffee table I found at a garage sale. I can use this book until I get a new caster.

Peace and Blessings, everyone and may you allow your thinking to become Love based and God centered.

The first half of this book is not very good. Strangely it gets really good in the 2nd half. An ok read.

This is one of those rarest of books. It is simply written and yet provides the reader with vital information. The RaptureReady.com website is also an amazing work.

Ok, maybe i won't manage to be as funny and original as some of the people that critiqued this book before me but let me tell you this: the rapture is about the biggest slice of balony there is.
People floating up to heaven when the end times come, saved by the Lord while everybody left behind will fry....what a crock!
I think there is some mental illness going on here.
