Synopsis
A Latter-day Perspective on Our Signs of the Times
Who are we?
Why are we here?
What happens next-and when?
For at least five thousand years, humanity has been looking to the stars, the sea, the forests, and the mountains for answers to these three fundamental questions.
In modern day, with all the threatening forces of war, pandemic, and political upheaval, people are still turning to these age-old questions seeking comfort and purpose. But between internet misinformation and hostile powers, there are plenty of influences to sway the naïve and unassuming into thinking all is lost.
Since the beginning of recorded time, however, mankind has faced challenges that have forced us to socially evolve, adapt to changing circumstances, and recover to greater success. Writer, educator, and US Navy veteran Drew Williams captures several thousand years' worth of signs of the times and presents them as learning opportunities that can help us now as we prepare for the Second Coming of Christ.
Because the question we're asking shouldn't be "When will He return?" but "will we be ready?"
About the Author
Drew Williams has been dedicated to studying Jewish and Christian philosophies since he was a boy. Being fascinated with stories from the bible at an early age, because of his grandmother, who used to read bible stories to him, Drew has spent more than a half century studying biblical and civil histories. After his grandmother passed away when Drew was nine years old, he became even more interested in reading and learning about ancient civilizations and their relationship with God. Spending his youth attending more than a dozen schools in states throughout the South and Midwest, Drew spent much of his childhood alone, pondering the nature of man and God's involvement in the course of advancing the Human condition. In 1985, after converting to Mormonism while serving in the United States Navy, Drew moved to Utah to attend Brigham Young University, where he graduated with undergraduate degrees in Journalism and English. As a photojournalist for the Navy, and later, as a documentary producer and lecturer on infrastructure security, Drew has lived and studied in countries throughout Europe, Asia, South America and the Middle East. He has a master's degree in homeland security from the George Washington University with an emphasis on political violence and terrorism and is currently working on doctorate programs on defense studies and educational leadership. Author of one of the multimillion-copy, best-selling Complete Idiots Guides as well as hundreds of news articles over his forty-year career as a writer, Drew still enjoys discovering what he calls "unlocking the mysteries of the biblical authors" to learn how their writings foreshadow modern times.
