Books to Read

• "The Islamic Antichrist", by Joel Richardson, hardcover 2009, paperback 2015.

The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the hame of peace.  The Qur'an also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace.  The man in the Qur'an is called the Mahdi, or Islam's savior.  However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist.  Joel Richardson's stunning research and analysis suggest that Madhi and Antichrist are actually on and the same.

• "Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist", by Joel Richardson, 2012.

This book establishes the revolutionary argument introduced in Joel's Richardson's New York Times bestselling The Islamic Antichrist, namely that the Antichrist will be a Muslim, whose empire will arise out the Middle East.  His argument systematically proves that the long awaited system of the Antichrist is even now before us and knocking at the door - virtually unnoticed by the church.

• "The Coming Prince", by Sir Robert Anderson, Tenth Edition 2014, First edition 1896.

• "Letter to the American Church", by Eric Metaxas, 2022.

Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as godly meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle.  The auther reveals the haunting similarities between today's American Church and the German Church of the 1930s.  Echoing the German martyr's prophetic call, he exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil.

• "Supernatural", by Dr. Michael S. Heiser, 2015.

Dr. Michael S. Heiser, a Scholar-in-Residence at Faithlife Corporation, presents fifteen years of research on what the Bible really says about the unseen world of the supernatural, unfiltered by tradition or by theological presuppositions. People shouldn't be protected from the Bible, Dr. Michael S. Heiser says, but theological systems often do just that, by explaining away difficult or troublesome passages of Scripture because their literal meaning doesn't fit into our tidy systems.

Who were the sons of God? Who were the Nephilim? Where do angels fit into the supernatural hierarchy? Why did God find it necessary to have the Israelites destroy the populations of entire cities man, woman, and child? What relation does Jesus bear to the rest of the supernatural world? Dr. Michael S. Heiser tackles these questions and many more in his book Supernatural.

• "Angels", by Dr. Michael S. Heiser, 2015.

Angels is not guided by traditions, stories, speculations, or myths about angels. Heiser's study is grounded in the terms the Bible itself uses to describe members of God's heavenly host; he examines the terms in their biblical context while drawing on insights from the wider context of the ancient Near Eastern world. The Bible's view on heavenly beings begins with Old Testament terms but then moves into literature from the Second Temple period--Jewish writings from around the 5th century BC to the 1st century AD. This literature from the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament influenced the New Testament writers in significant ways. With that important background established, the book focuses on what the New Testament tells us about God's holy ones. Finally, the book reflects on common misconceptions about angels and addresses why the topic is still important and relevant for Christians today.
