An Instant New York Times Bestseller

USA Today Bestseller

Bestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith—the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King.

If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be ready?

In The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God.

Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognising its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus’ return, providing a foundation that will help readers:

  • Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands.
  • Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God.
  • Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission.
  • Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King.
  • Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope.

Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession.

The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.
