Most books on biblical prophecy are filled with doom and gloom. Their focus is on the cataclysmic events foretold in Scripture: wars, famines, floods, and earthquakes will rock Planet Earth in its last days, right up to Armageddon and the personal return of Jesus Christ.Best-selling author Tim LaHaye believes that this viewpoint is confusing at best and misrepresents God's true, merciful nature and purposes for humanity. Offering a very different perspective, the author shows his readers how the Lord of Creation wants us to have a future filled with hope, optimism, and blessing, and how this can be understood only when we see the big picture of the wonderful plan God has for mankind.In this optimistic new book, Dr. LaHaye explains that God's actions in the End Times are motivated by his love for us. The prophecies are not so much warnings of judgment as they are invitations to salvation! The author surveys hundreds of biblical portents and reveals the patterns in which they came to fruition. He then looks at the central role that Christ plays and examines those prophecies yet to be fulfilled.Most of all, Dr. LaHaye gives us more than facts and timelines, more than interpretations of mysterious biblical passages. His readers will gain insights into the WHY of prophecy and a new appreciation for God's love, the underlying force behind his redemptive plan for the final days of earth..

While it may seem that debates over euthanasia began with Jack Kervorkian, the practice of mercy killing extends back to Ancient Greece and beyond. In America, the debate has raged for well over a century
Now, in A Merciful End, Ian Dowbiggin offers the first full-scale historical account of one of the most controversial reform movements in America. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of the Euthanasia Society of America, interviews with important figures in the movement today, and flashpoint cases such as the tragic fate of Karen Ann Quinlan, Dowbiggin tells the dramatic story of the men and women who struggled throughout the twentieth century to change the nation's attitude--and its laws--regarding mercy killing. In tracing the history of the euthanasia movement, he documents its intersection with other progressive social causes: women's suffrage, birth control, abortion rights, as well as its uneasy pre-WWII alliance with eugenics. Such links brought euthanasia activists into fierce conflict with Judeo-Christian institutions who worried that "the right to die" might become a "duty to die." Indeed, Dowbiggin argues that by joining a sometimes overzealous quest to maximize human freedom with a desire to "improve" society, the euthanasia movement has been dogged by the fear that mercy killing could be extended to persons with disabilities, handicapped newborns, unconscious geriatric patients, lifelong criminals, and even the poor. Justified or not, such fears have stalled the movement, as more and more Americans now prefer better end-of-life care than wholesale changes in euthanasia laws.
For anyone trying to decide whether euthanasia offers a humane alternative to prolonged suffering or violates the "sanctity of life," A Merciful End provides fascinating and much-needed historical context..

Many people view the God of the end times as a vengeful, wrathful, and judgmental one.

In THE MERCIFUL GOD OF PROPHECY, LaHaye explores prophecy from biblical times to our future. Through perceptive study of Scripture and the attentive use of examples from The Book of Daniel to Revelations, the author reveals God's great plan for our eternity..
