This Present Darkness

Frank E. Peretti

This Present Darkness is set in the small town of Ashton, where a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor uncover a sinister New Age plot by the Universal Consciousness Society to control the town and eventually the world. The story intertwines the physical world with the spiritual realm, depicting a war between angels and demons. The novel emphasizes the importance of prayer and spiritual warfare, drawing inspiration from biblical themes such as Ephesians 6:12. It follows the investigations of Marshall Hogan, the new editor of the local newspaper, and Hank Busche, the new pastor, as they confront demonic forces and their human agents, ultimately leading to a climactic battle that decides the fate of Ashton.

Late Great Planet Earth

Carole C. Carlson

Mr. Hal Lindsey

The Late Great Planet Earth is a treatment of dispensational premillennialism that compares end-time prophecies in the Bible with then-current events. The book, written by Hal Lindsey with contributions by Carole C. Carlson, was first published in 1970 and became the bestselling nonfiction book of the decade according to The New York Times. It discusses various signs foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, such as the rebirth of Israel, the threat of war in the Middle East, an increase in natural catastrophes, and the revival of Satanism and witchcraft, all of which are seen as portents of the coming of an antichrist and a war that will bring humanity to the brink of destruction. The book emphasizes the importance of biblical prophecy in understanding the imminent future of the planet.

The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism

How the Evangelical Battle Over the End Times Shaped a Nation

Daniel G. Hummel

In *The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism*, Daniel G. Hummel provides a detailed history of dispensationalism, tracing its origins from John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren Movement in the 19th century to its current state. The book is divided into three sections, covering the new premillennialists (1830-1900), the dispensationalists (1900-1960), and the pop dispensationalists (1960-2020). Hummel examines how dispensationalism shaped American evangelicalism, influenced popular culture, and impacted politics and religion. The book offers a balanced perspective, highlighting both the strengths and limitations of dispensationalism and its ongoing impact on American religious history.

Many ideas about the end times including the role of Israel, the mark of the beast, and the rapture became popular through Hal Lindsey’s best-selling book from the 1970s, “The Late Great Planet Earth.” Lindsay died last week at 95. We discuss his legacy and how his book is still shaping the American church long after most of its theology has been debunked. Then, Kaitlyn talks to Douglas McKelvey about his series of prayer books, “Every Moment Holy.” He explains the value of using written prayers and not just spontaneous ones, and how to find God in the ordinary activities of life. Also this week—why are Bible sales way up but church attendance still declining? And 80’s orca fashion makes a comeback.
