In the 1830s and early 1840s, Baptist preacher William Miller gained thousands
of followers when he announced that the world would come to an end in 1843. He
was adept at parlaying his message through books and copious pamphlets, and
plied his audiences with detailed prophecy charts, mathematical tables and
timelines. A century and a half later, Left Behind pedagogue Tim LaHaye
(writing with Thomas Ice) seems to take a leaf from Miller's book in issuing
Charting the End Times: A Visual Guide to Understanding Bible Prophecy. It has
charts, illustrations and maps!.Its glossy, full-color format is light-years
beyond Miller's, but the prophecy content is much the same. (Unlike Miller,
LaHaye rather wisely does not set a projected date for Christ's return.)

This is a great study on 'End Time Prophecy' that uses the Word of God to teach the Word of God. I wish we had it in Bible College. I believe I would have learn and retained more knowledge in eschatology.

Unlike the nearly century old but excellent book DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH by Clarence Larkin, CHARTING THE END TIMES is easy to read, charts are perfectly understandable, and easy to understand. The fold-out chart is an exceptional visual aid for personal study and group teaching. Every Christian home should have a copy of this book and its chart. I recommemd buying separate copies of the chart to avoid removing the bound copy. CHARTING THE END TIMES: A Visual Guide to Understanding Bible Prophecy is truly an indispensable, attractive book that is valuable teaching for teens as well as adults. Understanding Biblical doctrine concerning prophecies that deal with the Jew, the Church, and the Gentiles will enrich your Christian experience.

GREAT!!! I have used this as a personal study guide to take my congregation into the most exciting book in the Bible, Revelation. Tim LaHaye has laid it all out for us. The foldout is wonderful and the narrative allows you to relate to every level. We can all now read the Word of God and have a true understanding of what is being said. Just what we need in these exciting times when the pages of Revelation are unfolding in front of us everyday!!! Thanks!

Cool book with lots of pictures, although much of the artwork is kind of cartoonish. Good explanations from the beginning to the end.
