The Last Battle: Left Behind or Narnia ?

Notes: "[FM] 1899". -- back cover.; Cover title.; "[By] Deborah Smith Douglas".; Includes bibliography, p. 20.; "People of faith are often caught off-guard by darker and and pessimistic parodies of the faith. Some would skew the gospel message into one of their own making and pass it off as Truth. Such surrounds the so-called notion of 'the rapture'. .... But [these] deny the accepted wisdom and understanding of the Christian faith over two millennia and are reaching an audience of Christian and non-Christian people with a bludgeon of fear, death, destruction and cruelty. Deborah Smith Douglas, author and spiritual director, utilizes 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis as a vaccine to the 'left behind' business. Douglas weaves a thoughtful and spiritual theology that will assist readers in understanding the essence of what we really believe about God". -- back cover.; Contents: I.
