"The Tribulation - Another Look" by Tricia Tillin

Contents

This four-part study is a new look at the Tribulation. It does not follow the conventional church teaching that is available everywhere in books and articles; it goes back to the roots of scriptural interpretation. Unless we find the courage to rethink the Tribulation and Rapture, we will miss the importance of these present days, and possibly even the signs of His Coming.

Please approach this study with prayer and with an open mind, ready to learn, and check everything by the word of God. Try to let go of the prejudices and preconceptions of the past, get beyond the knee-jerk reaction against something that is "not-pre-trib", and put down all the famous books and well-beloved teachers' materials, to look at what the bible actually says to us today.
