Dennis James Woods

Jesus prophesied that the great tribulation would be an unprecedented time of distress that would never occur again. Nothing in history compares to what the Bible declares is coming on this world. The book of Revelation gives specific details of this time that no other book in the world contains. With all its vital information why is it that so many Christians do not read Revelation? Have popular rapture theories convinced many that Revelation does not apply to the church? Would God providentially place Revelation in the New Testament if the church really didn’t need it? In this powerful verse-by-verse commentary, Dennis James Woods presents a unique Prewrath interpretation of Revelation, critiquing the widely accepted Pretribulation rapture theory. The commentary argues that Revelation was written for the church and that much of its content directly applies to believers. Woods provides historical context, theological analysis, and practical insights, offering an alternative eschatological framework that challenges traditional dispensational thought while emphasizing the necessity of preparing for end-time events. Revelation is the only book in the world with specific details that tell us where this world is heading. It’s the only book in the Bible that begins with a special blessing for those who read it. If the church is to be raptured before the Antichrist comes—praise God! But what happens if that’s wrong? Then the book of Revelation, marginalized by so many, will become a vital guide for prophetic events to come.

Just Do It: Thirty Day Devotional & Inspirations For Prayer

Dennis James Woods

The world is spiraling out of control at an alarming pace. Wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods devastate entire communities. Global pandemics kill hundreds of thousands of people. Social injustice, civil unrest, and lawlessness threaten our societies. Political instability and the threat of war increase hostilities between nations. The birth pangs of distress are getting more intense each day. The question is, what does all these things mean and where is this world headed? Unfortunately, at a time when people need answers the most, many do not know what the Bible says about the end times. You Must Know the Times, is an eye-opening book specifically designed to educate readers on a wide range of subjects concerning the last days. This book will equip you to discern the times in which we now live. You will learn what the Bible says about the signs of the times, the conflict in the middle east, the tribulation period, the nation of Israel, the mark of the beast, the Antichrist, the battle of Armageddon, the rapture of the church, the return of the Lord, and many more essential topics. Discover the powerful message the book of Revelation has for Christians and the perils that await a rebellious world. The Lord warns, “Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed…is blessed.” Therefore, it is vitally important that you must know the times.

A wave of curiosity in the prophetic ministry is sweeping up many in a deluge of deception. This counterfeit movement may be among the ominous signs of the last days. An obsession with “prophecy, signs, and wonders” can contribute to an unhealthy attraction to anything determined to be supernatural. In Matthew 16:4, Jesus declared, “A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign….” False prophets amaze people by calling out phone numbers, addresses and declaring meaningless prophecies. However, unknown to the masses, false prophets use divination, the same power fortune-tellers and psychics have used for centuries. This thought-provoking book examines actual cases of false prophets in action revealing their secrets and subterfuge. You will learn what a legitimate prophetic message is and the specific characteristics to detect false prophecies. You will also discover how people that have itching ears for “a prophetic word” and lust after wealth, create an environment for false prophets to thrive. This powerful book also investigates the legitimacy of the “schools of prophets,” and how some of these schools teach mystical arts. Even if you attend a church where false prophets are not going forth, they still have a commanding presence on the internet and enter households through popular social media sites. The Bible warns, “My people are destroyed from the lack of knowledge!” Therefore, be informed and forewarned, because false prophecy could be creeping into your home or coming to a church near you!

The book of Revelation is the most mysterious and controversial book of the Bible. Yet, God intended that Christians be enriched by its enduring message. Even though Revelation has a blessing for those who read it, many believers still avoid this inspired book. Could one reason be they have been taught that most of Revelation does not apply to Christians? In this first volume of The End Time Apologetics Series, the author challenges the pretribulation rapture position and uncovers how many Christians may not be prepared for prophetic events to come. Although many promote pretrib as a fact, in reality it’s a “theory” that gained traction in America in the 19th century. Further popularized after being published in an immensely popular reference bible, pretrib quickly became the preferred rapture position. As we see prophetic fulfillment happening in the Middle East and around the world, the real question is “What happens if the pretrib rapture theory is wrong?” How will Christians respond if the Church is not raptured before prophetic events occur? Will history repeat itself? Will there be a group of modern-day Thessalonians whose faith will be shaken? In this powerful book, discover how facts concerning the Antichrist, Angels, and the Abyss, are a game-changer for the pretribulation rapture position. Learn what effect it would have if the Holy Spirit is not the restrainer of Second Thessalonians. See actual correspondence between the author and two of the most esteemed Dispensational scholars who made some surprising admissions about who’s really restraining the Antichrist. Will end time events actually turn out as portrayed in the Left Behind series? Will Christians be prepared for the perilous times to come? What could trigger the great falling away? Be forewarned, those who have ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to Christians concerning the Antichrist, Angels, and the Abyss.

Tuskegee Airmen 1941-1945 shares the memories of 22 original Tuskegee Airmen and their experiences as African American combat aviators during World War II. Filled with photographs, combat records, mission reports, official correspondence, newspaper clippings, and the personal annotations of the original document owners, Tuskegee Airmen 1941-1945 provides a singularly unique resource for anyone researching the history of these legendary aviators. The first aviation class of Tuskegee Airmen, which comprised 13 cadets, began at Chanute Airfield in Rantoul, Illinois, on July 19, 1941. These cadets received ground school training in subjects such as meteorology, navigation, and instruments. Successful cadets then transferred to Tuskegee Army Air Field in October 1941 to complete pilot training. From 1941 to 1945, more than 900 pilots were trained at Tuskegee, receiving their commissions and wings. Tuskegee also graduated a group of twin-engine pilots assigned to the 477th Bombardment Group. These black navigators, bombardiers, and gunners of the 477th were trained at Army Air Corps bases located elsewhere throughout the United States. Tuskegee Airmen 1941-1945 is organized in a format similar to that of a high school or college yearbook. A significant difference is that unlike in a school “Annual,” the authors of this historical book have covered a four-year period recording, highlighting, and commemorating the accomplishments of their fellow Tuskegee alumni. This narrative has a manifold purpose, which has interwoven threads of deeds, actions, thoughts, and ideals into one composite story. It goes inside the lives of many of the surviving Airmen, recounting stories of racism within the military alongside the Airmen’s tenacious heroism. Tuskegee Airmen 1941-1945 is a must-read for any serious student of American military, aviation or civil rights history of the 20th century.

Though the shelter was supposed to be a haven for the downtrodden, it was actually the breeding ground for dysfunction and despondency. Despite Paul’s misfortunes and failures, his determined spirit and his indelible faith lifted him up above the fray to become the first in his family to graduate from college. Now moving full-speed ahead, Paul Lamar Hunter is living proof that neither limits nor lineage determine the quality of one’s life-but faith, fortitude, and determination do.

This is the finale to the Unresolved Issues series; titled The Chronicles of Chapters. Each one of the chapters gives you a different true to life story, surrounding an issue the main character has. Consequently, the glaring theme to their lives is crystal clear to those surrounding them, but the individual carrying the weight has embraced this baggage as their norm.

As we know the issues in one’s life aren’t the abnormity, but how we ad-dress these issues are. This dynamic often creates a strange void in our lives. The Chronicles of Chapters even touches on topics of projected im-ages, in this world of social media. The sensitive reality of racism in our na-tion, self-esteem or lack thereof and many other keynotes that have become a way of life for many Americans.

The Chronicles of Chapters will take readers on a journey equivalent to a television series, as each chapter serves as a new awakening while re-maining on the same path of that journey. The prolonged build up before the heightened plot is introduced in most books, is far from the immediate impact of this novel from chapter to chapter. I implore readers to fasten their safety belts and enjoy this exhilarating, yet educational ride. After you’ve embarked upon The Chronicles of Chapters, the way that you view life and reading will forever be changed.

Ann Wooten-Taylor

Ann Wooten-Taylor, Esq., is the C.E.O. of Eating as an Act of Worship Ministries. The ministry began as a result of her deliverance from obesity, and she has been teaching others the Christian weight loss principles she learned since 2012. Unlike many Christian weight loss classes, the EAW class is not a forum where individuals come together, say a prayer, and then have a workout session. On the contrary, EAW weight loss courses focus on God’s perspective about our body image, our eating habits, and keeping our bodies healthy through the study of His word.

The 12 concepts are designed to help you succeed by equipping you to win the daily battle that you are currently losing, first and foremost, in your mind. Until your mind is set free, you will continue to wander in the Wilderness of Obesity. As your mind is delivered, you’ll find you can not only start a diet, but you can also stick with it when you realize it was never about you. The battle was, is, and always will be a spiritual one to be won by the Lord.

Whether you are a pastor, preacher, parishioner, or a private citizen, I believe you will glean much from this book that will help you in addressing life’s issues with the Word of God. Psalm 19:7 states “the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” Since this book can also be used as a daily devotional that can be read over and over again, I hope you purchase it for your family and friends. In 1996, Andrew D. Singleton, Jr. founded Victory Apostolic Church in Harvey Illinois, where services were held at the former Ramada Inn. One year later Victory transitioned to a Chicago Heights location where, for the next 12 years, they experienced exponential growth. In February 2009, under the dynamic leadership of Pastor Singleton, the church transitioned to the current 12 acre, $20 million, 2500 seat sanctuary in Matteson IL. Pastor Singleton credits his phenomenal success to God’s power and grace and being mentored by his late pastor, Bishop Arthur M. Brazier of the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, Illinois. For 47 years, he has been happily married to his college sweetheart, Brenda. They have three children, who are all saved and married, and eight wonderful grandchildren.

The transformation of a sinner into a saint is at the heart of the Gospel message. This transformation is the active work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer (2 Corinthians 3:18). The Transformed: Soul, Mind, and Body program workbook is designed to aid Christians from adolescents to senior citizens in their day-to-day spiritual growth. The book utilizes the Whole Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) for the soul and the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) for the mind to challenge believers to grow more spiritual every day and to take care of their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19) through proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and rest. This unique approach incorporates lessons that empower the whole person and prepares us to meet the challenges of everyday life. As one member of Victory Apostolic Church stated, “the section of this book that focuses on the Helmet of Salvation helped prepare me for a devastating event that I faced on my job that same day.” This workbook is a powerful tool to help live a victorious transformed life and is far more than just another devotional.

From the outset, this book was developed out of a sincere desire to improve the prayer culture of the church where I serve as pastor. The goal for the congregation was to unite in prayer for thirty days, praying for different circumstances each day. We started off with prayers similar to the Lord’s model prayer that he gave to his disciples. Then we progressed beyond that to include interceding for institutions ranging from family to government, and from prison to the pulpit. We also prayed for change in the conditions in our schools and community. As we continued in community prayer, I soon realized that God was doing something powerful that extended far beyond the members of our congregation. Before the thirty days of prayer concluded, we had hundreds of people joining us daily on a prayer call from across the country. We then expanded the thirty days of prayer to an accompanying devotional so that the inspirational messages behind the prayers could be shared with others. Therefore, the impetus behind writing this book was to encourage people to embrace the practice of praying in community to invoke heaven’s power into the affairs of God’s people on earth. I therefore, challenge women, men, youth groups and churches to read this book together and pray in unison. Don’t let the obstacles of distance or distraction, fear or uncertainty, dissuade you from the power of prayer—be courageous and Just Do It!
