Close Of Probation
$28.97
The Adventist doctrine of the close of probation has created an immense amount of fear in the minds of many people-the fear that “I’m not good enough. If I’m supposed to be sinless after the close of probation, I’ll never make it!” Fortunately, we need not be afraid. In fact, as we see the events of the end times cascading upon us, we can see the love of God as well as His justice in this doctrine, and that can be a source of hope and happy anticipation. Marvin Moore, editor of Signs of the Times and author of numerous books on the end times, is known for his ability to take complex or obscure subjects and make them understandable, even compelling. In this book, Marvin deals with the following questions and more: Who needs probation, and why?If we need probationary time, why will it be ended?What will happen to us if we’re brought into the presence of a holy God while there is no Intercessor? How perfect must we be? Who closes probation-and how? What do the mark of the beast and the seal of God have to do with the close of probation? Will probation close for everyone at the same instant, or will it close at different times for different people? What does the close of probation mean-what does it do? What implications does our belief in the close of probation have for us as Seventh-day Adventists and for the mission of our church? God has been offering grace and transformation to sinful people for the past six thousand years, and He’s still offering them to us. But time is running out. Probation will end soon, and then God’s offer will be gone forever. “Now is the day of salvation.”

2nd Half
$19.49Add to cartBestselling author Lauraine Snelling shares a heartfelt story of a couple who put their plans for a peaceful retirement on hold to assume guardianship of their young grandchildren.
Mona and Ken Sorenson are approaching the best years of their lives. Mona’s greatest concern is that Ken will learn of the surprise party she’s planning for his retirement from his job as Dean of Students at Stone University. They’ve already been making plans to travel, spend limitless hours in the garden, and Ken is looking forward to working on his woodworking and fishing with his grandchildren. It’s what they deserve after years of careful planning.
But things begin to unravel when Ken learns that office politics are about to destroy his department. Can he really just leave, abandoning the work he spent a lifetime achieving? Mona is eager to build her event planning business with Ken’s help, but rather than supporting her, he expresses concern that the stress of the work will send her back into the depression she struggles with. Then, just days before Ken’s last official day of work, their son, a Special Forces officer in the Army, learns he’s being immediately deployed on a six-month mission in Pakistan. Since his wife left him, the only people he trusts to care for his two young children are his parents. In an instant, everything Ken and Mona spent their lives planning changes, and they will need to find strength, both physical and mental, to become parents once more. This is not the second half they wanted, and when their son fails to contact them as planned, they struggle to trust that it is God’s plan, not theirs, that matters most. -
