Dr. Robert Jeffress - Twilights Last Gleaming: How Americas Last Days Can Be Your Best Days

Here is a book that I can enthusiastically recommend to those who think that we as believers should simply share the gospel and then hunker down and wait for the demise of the United States. This prominent pastor presents the interesting thesis that we cannot prevent the ultimate destruction of our nation, but we can delay it by our involvement in many areas of American life, including politics. Best of all, he is wholly committed to the primacy of the gospel, which ultimately is the only hope for the transformation of the human heart and the restoration of those values on which America was founded. This book is realistic, inspiring, and filled with hope.

Senior Pastor, The Moody Church

When Robert Jeffress writes, The only way to change our nation is by changing the individuals who make up our nation by introducing them to Jesus Christ, he prescribes the only workable and biblical formula that offers hope to this dying land which is now on spiritual, economic, and cultural life support.

Dr. Jeffress is without a doubt a concerned, courageous voice crying out in the wilderness of deception and darkness. What he boldly shares should be prayerfully considered by all who care about our future.

In our current social order, few pastors I have ever known are as courageous or consistent in calling the saints to righteousness as is Dr. Robert Jeffress. Twilights Last Gleaming is a classic case in point, and every believer who reads it will be blessed and stirred to good works.

It is an age-old question: Why are we still here? Why is it that, when we surrendered our lives to Christ, He did not immediately take us to be with Him forever? The short answer is this: In the sovereign purposes of God, He intends to accomplish much in and through His people. In his remarkable new book, Twilights Last Gleaming, Robert Jeffress unpacks and applies this biblical truth in a way that is both insightful and transforming. Surely this is a much-needed book for the church in this hour of human history.

To Dr. and Mrs. William S. Spears...

Thank you, Bill and Candye, for your faithful friendship through the years. You are shining examples of what it means to be a light for the gospel of Jesus Christ in this darkening world. I will be eternally grateful for your consistent encouragement to me and to our ministry at First Baptist Church, Dallas.

If you are looking for a sweet little bookette that is politically correct and safe to read and share with staunch unbelievers so as not to offend them, then put this book down and keep looking.

Dr. Robert Jeffress must not have gotten the memo that says that the pastor of a prominent landmark church that is one of the most influential churches of Christendom is supposed to be noncontroversial, nonconfrontational, and nonpolitical. Uh-oh! This book is bold! Even while maintaining a kind, gracious, and broken spirit, Dr. Jeffress pulls no punches in calling a lethargic church to its feet for the fight to delay a coming collapse of our nation.

Dr. Jeffress made national news when in the fall of 2010, he broke from the ranks of the bridled when he openly declared the threat of radical Islam to our country and culture. No politician has been as blunt in describing the enslavement of women, the violence toward dissidents, and the tyrannical rule of those seeking to impose sharia law. And Dr. Jeffress wasnt trying to win votes. In fact, he wasnt even trying to win friends! He was simply proclaiming truth and letting people hear it straight without candy-coating it with preacherisms.

I have admired Dr. Robert Jeffress as pastor of one of the worlds great churches and have enjoyed his company and insight as a friend, but in this book, I stand in awe of the clarity of his convictions and the clarion call for believers to come out of hiding and act like they serve a King!

Read this book prayerfully. Then give it to a friend and urge them to read it. Time is of the essence!

Thankfully,
Mike Huckabee

Several years ago conservative commentator and former Fox News luminary Glenn Beck tapped into the growing sense of angst that Americansespecially Christian Americanswere feeling about the condition of our country. In August 2010, Beck announced he would hold a nonpartisan rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. with the goal of Restoring Honor to America. Some reports estimated that as many as three hundred thousand people attended the event.

I happened to be in D.C. the day before the rally, so after finishing my meetings I strolled down to the National Mall that warm Friday evening and was surprised to see hundreds of people already setting up tents along the mall, preparing to spend the night in order to secure a prime spot for the rally. A father who had traveled hundreds of miles with his young family to attend was asked why he had come. I really dont know, but I realize something is not right in our country and I want to do something about it.
