In Storm Warning, legendary evangelist Billy Graham examines the book of Revelation in light of current events. This is not a scholarly exposition or exegesis of the Revelation, nor is it intended to be. Rather, it is a call to repentance and faith due to the times we live in. The book focuses on the work of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and challenges the reader to turn to God in faith since it appears that we can already hear the hoof beats of these horses.

So many books examining the Revelation succeed in little more than adding to the great amount of confusion surrounding the last book of the Bible. Storm Warning is a great exception to this trend. This book is understandable and readable, in large part because its emphasis is on calling the reader to respond to God’s warnings and not advancing any particular theological view.

If you are looking for a book to help you dig deeper into a study of the Book of Revelation, you will want to look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a book to challenge a casual Christian to a fresh commitment to the Lord in light of the times we live in, Storm Warning should be at the top of your list.

Called to Worship

In ‘Called to Worship,’ Vernon Whaley takes the reader through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation examining key concepts of true worship. This book shows how central worship is to every aspect of our lives and that principles of authentic worship are found throughout the Scriptures. This is a timely book, as today the term worship conjures images of musical styles, emotionalism and methodology, whereas worship ought to call to mind the greatness of God.

This book challenged me to examine the length and breadth of the Bible for principles of worship. While this sounds like a long and daunting task, Whaley’s conversational and authentic writing style made it feel like an adventure rather than a chore. Throughout the book, I was inspired to hear the Bible as a call for all creation to enter into a worshipful relationship with our loving, holy Creator.

This book has the depth to satisfy the desire of students and teachers for a reliable and thorough text on worship, yet expresses these deep truths in such a practical way that anyone interested in seeing growth in their worship life will find encouragement in its pages.
