Available in paperback on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Attending-Bride-Christ-Preparing-Return/dp/1940243645/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1429806696&sr=1-1), Barnes&Noble, and bookstores worldwide through Ingram and Ingram’s Spring Arbor Distributors.

Formerly available through LifeWay Press, due to popular demand, Mercy Press has made the top-selling Bible study, Attending the Bride of Christ: Preparing for His Return available once again, in both paperback and e-book.

“I have received many emails and personal notes from people who have worked through Attending the Bride of Christ: Preparing for His Return over the years. Many have been deeply impacted in their relationship with God and with His church. Some have wondered why they are just learning these truths and rejoice in better understanding the importance of their involvement in preparing for Christ’s return. I rejoice each time someone tells me, ‘This changed my life!’ Praise God! After taking the book out of print, LifeWay began referring to me all the people who tried to order the book. The demand was so great, I decided to release the book, and am happy to say it has found new life,” says author Martha Lawley.

Whether used in groups, classes, or individual study, this insight filled, in-depth 6-week Bible study will encourage and inspire you while helping you better understand God’s plan for the church and how believers can work together to prepare for Christ’s return. You will discover how Jesus often used the marriage relationship to teach us about Himself, His purposes, and His ways. The study draws from the rich symbolism of ancient Jewish wedding customs—familiar during Jesus’s time, but not always understood by today’s Christians. This remarkable journey through Scripture will help you see the church as Christ sees her—a shining Bride preparing for her beloved Bridegroom. By the conclusion of this study, you will discover fascinating biblical truths that point to the climax of human history—the marriage feast of the Lamb!

Attending the Bride of Christ: Preparing for His Return is a powerful study,” writes Jim Kochenburger, author, publisher, and founder of ChristianWriterHelp.com. “After talking with Martha and reviewing this study, I was thoroughly impressed. Rarely does a study cross my desk that is as complete a work as this one. The rich depth of the study, Martha’s engaging and captivating writing style, pristine graphic work, and inspiration that flow from every page made it an honor for us to partner with her in realizing her publishing vision.”

“Many believers today are questioning why church matters,” says Lawley. “Some are drifting away, choosing to go it alone in their relationship with Christ. But the Bible is clear that the call to Christ is the call to community. The marriage imagery used in the New Testament reveals vital insights into God’s view of the church as a glorious, shining Bride preparing for her beloved Bridegroom’s return (Christ’s return). We are to love her as He loves her.”

“As the world spins out of control, Christians often take comfort in Christ’s promised return,” says Lawley. “However, many fail to consider what they should be doing to prepare for the return of Christ. Revelation 19:7 reminds us that Christ’s Bride, the church, is to make herself ready for His return. This study explores what the Bible reveals about how the church is to prepare and the vital role each believer plays in the blessing of preparing for Christ’s return. I hope and pray believers gain a renewed sense of appreciation for the church and experience joy in discovering their participation in preparation for Christ’s return matters.”

The release of Attending the Bride of Christ: Preparing for His Return will be publicized and promoted through social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube), author websites www.marthalawley.com and www.attendingthebrideofchrist.com, press release, and an extensive email campaign to key Christian leaders.
