Praise for Tipping Point
My good friend and ministry partner Jimmy Evans has been studying biblical prophecy for 45 years. In his newest book, Tipping Point, he offers compelling evidence about the end times. I believe Jimmys voice and perspective are critically important at this point and time in history.

The end times and prophecy are on the minds of believers everywhere, and there is no one better than Jimmy Evans to inform and instruct on what is next for Gods people.

Now, more than ever, the world needs hope. Hope is rooted in knowing that God is in control and that Jesus is coming again soon. Jimmy Evans offers a deeply biblical, well-researched, and incredibly powerful perspective on the end times that is critical to understand.
Rabbi Jason Sobel
Many believers find themselves frightened about biblical prophecy. However, approximately 30 percent of the Bible is prophetic in nature, and the study of prophecy is crucial for both instructing and comforting us that God is ultimately in control. In Tipping Point, Pastor Jimmy weaves together biblical truths and practical applications, making prophecy approachable and understandable.

The first sermon I ever heard Jimmy Evans preach was on end times prophecy in the Bible. That was over 26 years ago! I was blown away that day by his deep understanding and fresh revelation of the connection between biblical prophecy and present day issues. He effortlessly connects 2,000-year-old biblical texts with todays headlines and points it all toward Gods love for His people. Jimmys passion for and understanding of biblical prophecy are second to none! I strongly endorse Tipping Point , and I encourage both the casually interested and the biblical scholar to dive in. Jesus is coming back. The time to get ready is now!

Prophetic powerhouse Jimmy Evans deciphers the signs of our times and comes to the conclusion that this is the deep breath before the plunge. Its a glorious day to be alive. Tipping Point makes it clear that the supernatural romance between Jesus and His people is reaching a climax. The Bridegroom is at the door. Im full of joyful anticipation after reading this book.

Foreword
My dad made a big deal out of family vacations. He enjoyed preparing for a trip as much as the trip itself. Our vacations always consisted of a long road trip that began at our home in West Texas and ended up in a campground. Colorado was a favorite destination. He was even known to take us as far as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon. Weeks before we left, he would start planning the route. He had no internet or GPS; he planned his trips the old-fashioned way. He used a map.
He would trace out the journey with a highlighter. He circled the campgrounds and made notes of the highway numbers. And once he had his plans, he shared them with us.
My brother and I were just kids, single digit in age and inexperienced in the ways of the road. So my dad would sit us at the table on the eve of departure and tell us what to expect.
When we drive through New Mexico, its going to get windy.
When we reach the mountains, your ears will pop.
Youll know we are almost to the campground when you see snow on the mountain peaks.
He told us what to look for. And wouldnt you know it, he was right. The wind did blow. Our ears did pop. And the snowy peaks were the last thing we saw before we reached our destination.
My father told us what to expect.
Our heavenly Father has done the same.
Did you know that 30 percent of your Bible is prophecy? Entire volumes such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation are prophetic. To dismiss prophecy is to dismiss one-third of the Bible. Yet many people do. They do because prophecy can be complicated and teachers of prophecy can be opinionated. Just give me Psalm 23 and the Lords Prayer, some say. I can make sense out of those passages.
