God Cares: The Message of Revelation for You and Your Family (2 Volumes) [Paperback]

C. Mervyn Maxwell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 28, 1985

A best-selling classic in two volumes, God Cares, contains the research on the fascinating prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation. The author unites the most recent scholarship with a compassionate pen as he speaks to all who search for meaning in world history and current events. Recognizing that both Roman Catholic and evangelical Protestant attitudes and emphases have changed over the past century, Dr. Maxwell speaks sympathetically to these various shifts in thought and feeling. He provides careful answers to those particular question of interpretation that have become increasingly important in the last half of the twentieth century. God Cares lets the books of Daniel and Revelation speak directly to the minds and hearts of modern men and women. The reader of these volumes will discover that prophecy not only foretells the future, but that it clearly reveals God and His infinite care for us. How God provides for His people-pleading with them to accept His forgiveness and power to like changed lives-is a theme the author traces unfailingly throughout his exposition of these two dramatic books of the Bible. In God Cares, Vols. 1 and 2, you will read the fascinating story of how God revealed to both Daniel and John the Revelator the rise of great world empires centuries in advance. You will read what the end of the world will be like, and how truth has withstood constant attack by earthly powers. The longest time prophecy in the Bible-which ended in 1844-will be explained, and you will learn how the judgment now going on in heaven personally affects you. After reading this easily understood, yet scholarly, book you will appreciate more than ever God's care for you, and you will understand with new insight the meaning of world history and events.

These two books by Mervyn Maxwell explain very well the historicist interpretation of Daniel and Revelation in everyday language that is easily comprehended by any reader. The format is easy to follow, and the diagrams and visuals aid in the concise presentation of the material.

These are very important books for understanding the interpretation of apocalyptic Bible prophecy.

This review is from: God Cares: The Message of Revelation for You and Your Family, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

I have both volumes of God Cares, covering Daniel and Revelation. Maxwell does a good job of providing background information one really needs to understand prophecy. This is invaluable. I don't agree with all of his interpretation however. For example in interpreting Daniel 8:13,14 Maxwell vehemently denies the possibility that The "little horn" could be Antiochus Epiphanes. He evidently has to support his Seventh Day Adventist theology. This aside, I would recommend God Cares for Maxwell's competent treatment of history in understanding Prophecy.
