Preparing for Christ's Return

The most exhilarating moment since the resurrection may happen today! Are you ready?

This was the attitude of early Christians—to be ready each moment for Christ's promised return, dedicating themselves to His work on earth in the meantime. The disciples and first-century Christians eagerly anticipated Christ's second coming and talked about it daily like we talk about our team's chance for the Super Bowl.

In Preparing for Christ's Return, Dr. Charles Stanley will teach you how to live a life of satisfaction, purpose, meaning, and readiness—a life that brings great reward now and in eternity.

With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F. Stanley Bible Study Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action.

Each study draws on Dr. Stanley’s many years of teaching the guiding principles found in God’s Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face.

Each of the ten lessons includes:

• A brief look at what is covered in the lesson.
• A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lesson.
• Application and Bible study questions based on the key points.
• Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow.
