Radiant and Resolute

Radiant and Resolute explores what the Bible says the church is like in the end times when Jesus returns and then asks what the church can do now to be ready. With signs of the end times in evidence like never before, Jesus' return may not be that far off. While the time is not known, it is evident that God has a clear plan to make the church a beautiful bride for Jesus, and Radiant and Resolute challenges us to ask what the church should be doing now to be prepared. William Porter believes that the church will need to be resolute during the time of great turmoil ahead but also radiant because Scripture promises great revival. Combining eschatological thought with pastoral application, this vision is unpacked through four main areas: life in the end times; the church as the bride of Christ; seven marks of the end-time church; and preparing for the end time. Useful for anyone interested in exploring what the Bible says about the end times, Radiant and Resolute will be particularly relevant for those either leading churches or watching and praying over the signs of the times. Although painting a dramatic picture of times ahead, this is ultimately a hopeful vision of the Lord helping his church to become his radiant bride. If the church is truly to be the radiant and resolute bride of Christ is she ready. Includes a foreword by R. T. Kendall.
