BOOK 1: The Second Coming of Christ: (Originally published in 1896.) It has eight chapters, each one written by a well-known minister of the era, except the last chapter written by J.W., who is unknown now but was likely well-known at the time. (It was part of the original book and NOT added later!) Written for the layman, not the scholar, each chapter is in one way or another about the return of Christ. It is a very good book for anyone seeking to learn the basics of the second coming of Christ, called eschatology. AUTHORS of the chapters: 1. Harriet Beecher Stowe 2. D. L. Moody 3. J. C. Ryle 4. George Muller 5. D.W. White 6. G. C. Needham 7. Charles H. Spurgeon 8. J.W. *********** BOOK 2: PLAN OF THE AGES: With Chart (Originally published in 1893) By George C. Needham This book has a great chart of the different ages, with detailed explanation. (See back cover of the book (also inside) to see the chart.) This book goes great with the first one because George C. Needham also wrote a chapter in the first one.
