Have you ever been outside on a clear starry night, looked up at the sky, and wondered about the incredible God who created the universe? What a mind He must have—and what power! How great He must be—and how small we are in comparison! Yet this amazing God cares about us! When we face times of crisis and trauma—times of loss and trial—we cry out to God, and we want the "eyes of heaven" directed toward us. As great and lofty as God is, how can we get His attention?

We live in an incredibly stressful time. From business stress to relationship and family stress to financial stress, life can seem to be pulling and tugging us in fourteen different directions at once. And when you add to that the broader world we live in with news of violence, disease, terrorism, upheaval both in the ecology and the economy, the future can seem a very frightening place. But it does not have to be that way. There is an amazing purpose being worked out in your life and you need to know about it.

After almost a century of dominating influence in the world, the United States is a nation on the brink of disaster. Facing the scourges of terrorism and war, its shaky economy is built on debt and consumption. What affects America will affect the world, including you and your family. Can you know with certainty what lies ahead?

A cold hard fact of life is that the vast majority of humanity has died without believing in any way the message of Jesus Christ. Indeed, countless numbers have lived and died without hearing a single mention of His name. Perhaps this enormous number of non-Christians include some of your dead ancestors or relatives, perhaps a parent or grand-parent or even a child. Are all of these people lost forever? What does your Bible REALLY say?

Leaping from the prophetic pages of the Book of Revelation, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have become well-known figures in our Western world and beyond. These harrowing riders have established themselves in our cultural awareness, but they are not meaningless metaphors. They reveal a prophetic vision of terrifying events that will soon engulf the whole world—and will affect you and your family more profoundly than you know!
