Each month, Franklin Graham and Will Graham pick books based on its inspirational message, while the Library staff selects a “Bessie’s Pick” book for children to enjoy.
L. Nelson Bell was a noted surgeon and medical missionary to China from 1916 to 1941. He and his wife, Virginia Leftwich Bell, had five children, including a daughter, Ruth, who went on to marry Billy Graham.
After WWII forced the family to leave the mission hospital and return to the United States, Dr. Bell practiced medicine in Asheville, North Carolina; co-founded and edited the magazine Christianity Today; and served as a leader in his denomination.
Dr. Bell had a passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for Biblical truth. He began compiling this book in the 1960s and published it in 1970 to exhort the church to remain vigilant and firmly planted on the Word of God. Today, in a culture where God’s truth is under attack, Dr. Bell’s passionate call is just as timely and urgent as it was over five decades ago.
In a world that seems to be spinning out of control with political and social crisis, we need hope now more than ever. What if the life sustaining hope you need is found within the pages of the Bible? Take an in-depth look at Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and what it means to put our faith in Him.
Our world is packed with lies and loss of trust. Wars and rumors of war. Devastation and disaster. Pressure and persecution. Lawlessness and lovelessness. Some days it seems like bad news all around. And with bad news comes questions: “Why is this happening? When will it stop? What can we do?” And perhaps the most pressing of all: “Is this the end?”
In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That’s because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse—a significant sermon that scholars have called “the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible.”
In The World Of The End, learn how:
With his trademark clarity, Dr. Jeremiah reveals exactly what Jesus promised to us—and what He expects of us—as we approach The World Of The End.

Speak the Word of God out loud over your children and claim this generation for the Lord!
You Are is designed to speak life over the youngest generation.
Each page includes a loving term of endearment, an encouraging spiritual affirmation, and a verse from Scripture to help imprint the Lord’s promises and truths on their hearts.
You Are will teach your kids that they are cherished by you and by their heavenly Father.
