Bible prophecy is a very hot topic of discussion as we head towards the year 2012, thought by many to be the year of the Apocalypse. Author John Meacham's recently released book, Is Your Church Heavenly?, reaffirms Christ's message to the seven churches of the Book of Revelation. The message asks again for reform of the seven churches so that Christ might return.
Mr. Meacham spent eight days at the Sea of Galilee in 2005. During this time he received a new revelation from Christ which involved messages that spoke of the state of the seven churches in this modern time. Is Your Church Heavenly? details both his experience and the messages he received.
"The book," stated Mr. Meacham, "is a current day application of Christ's seven letters to the seven churches in Revelation. Each chapter opens with Scripture, gives background on the city, offer expository discussion, poses challenging questions, shares anecdotal stores and presents application ideas. I began the writing in January of 2005 while in Galilee. The journey to Israel occurred after Jesus appeared to me in three dreams. Each dream was of a special appearance of Christ on earth."
Is Your Church Heavenly? appeals to individuals, church leaders, church members and groups who desire to take steps towards improving their churches through directly following the advice and guidance of Jesus. Jesus' evaluation of each of the churches - Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Laodicea and Philadelphia - are presented in such a manner as to make them easily understandable to any Christian reader. The book is hard hitting, sometimes harsh and completely honest in its assessment of the state of Christianity today. It provides practical suggestions for change. It clearly defines the characteristics that are found in a Christ centered church. Its unique style of writing inspires the lost and challenges the intellectual.
The 199 page text is accompanied by a 97 page study guide to guide group discussion, study and tools to evaluate one's own church.
"It is my sincere hope," stated Mr. Meacham, "that Is Your Church Heavenly? will help bring the light of Christ back into our churches and into our world."
