Thomasville, GA (PRWeb) March 15, 2007 -- Holy Fire Publishing releases He Turned the World Upside Down (Paperback, US$12.99, ISBN# 1-933899-50-6). Several themes run through R. C. Balfour III's book and encompass God's plan for redemption, paradise lost and gained, and the topics of Messiah and the kingdom of God.

He turned the World Upside Down summarizes the author's understanding of Biblical truth, which is counter to present day media messages. He begins with Creation and traces references to the Messiah in the prophets of Israel and in the Psalms. The second half of the book reveals the prophecies that are fulfilled and the astounding ministry of Christ, the Messiah; in effect, showing how Jesus Christ "turned the world upside down."

The last chapters deal with the first coming of Christ, eternal life and the kingdom of God. The fulfilling of God's plan comes together with the second coming of Christ and the warnings and promises in the book of Revelation, including signs of the end times.

•    "The signs of the times are very visible. Israel, after almost 2,000 years of being dispersed, is again a nation in its original homeland. Knowledge has expanded geometrically through the computer and information highway. There is a large increase in lawlessness--a worldwide insurrection against the civilized world and against the Law. The Gospel is being preached in all the world by the true church of Jesus Christ. All of these are Biblical signs of the end times." P. 144

Each chapter of the book ends with a group of questions and recommended Scripture readings that make it suitable not only as a reference guide, but for individual or group study.

"Those trying to get their heads around the broad sweep of Holy Scriptures, asking why they were written and what they might mean, will find this book an invaluable tool." -The Rev. Dr. Robert Slane, pastor, educator, former newspaper advertising executive

"Bob Balfour has done the near impossible: writing a personal reflection book that is as compelling as it is easy to read. I've walked with the Lord for fifty years yet my faith was both renewed and challenged as I read what Bob wrote." -The Rev. Canon Mark A. Pearson, President, Institute for Christian Renewal
