Over the years I have read numerous books on the topic of the Last Days. Gerald Lund's book is head and shoulders above the rest. His quotes are all from recognized and verifiable sources, which he includes in footnotes. His analysis is based on these statements and does not stray into the realm of speculation. If you are to read only one book on the Last Days, this is definitely the one to have. I personally think this is one worth owning. You can also check it out at the Salt Lake County Library. I've included Amazon.com's review and a link to purchase the book. You can also get it at most major bookstores. --Jason http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590382080/sr=8-2/qid=1156308335/ref=sr_1_2/103-5886124-1069466?ie=UTF8 Editorial Reviews
Book Description Could there be a subject more compelling than the Savior's Second Coming? In this book, Elder Gerald N. Lund brings into sharp focus the events, both thrilling and threatening, that are to precede and accompany that time. Deliberately, avoiding the speculation common to many books on this topic, Elder Lund ties his commentary to significant scriptural passages and authoritative commentary by modern prophets. He shares insights on how the righteous may find security in the days ahead, instilling in the reader a sense of anticipation rather than anxiety, and describing an exciting partnership with God in the breathtaking events of the last days.
