As someone passionate about ministry, Christian teaching, and evangelism, Erens Mangalana, a lead Pastor of Kempton Park Assemblies of God, has penned a powerful fictional Christian novel, titled After Rapture: A Story of a pastor who was left behind, a new book to take fellow Christians through the importance of doing what’s right whilst time still permits, especially church leaders and pastors in general.
Pastor Mangalana says that although the book follows a pastor who unexpectedly misses the rapture and is left behind to face the horrors, deception, fear, and spiritual battles of the tribulation period, the book aims to give everyone a wake-up call about the reality of the Rapture and the importance of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour while there is still time.
“The book encourages believers to remain spiritually prepared for the coming of our Lord at all times. He chooses to present this message through a simple fictional story so that everyone can relate to it, including people who may not know the Bible or regularly attend church,” he said.
Contents of the book include:
• The inspiration and message behind After Rapture, what prompted him to write this book?
• As a pastor, what are some of the dangers of greed and wrong motives in ministry?
Observations
• How can hardship and pressure lead believers into spiritual compromise?
• What are some of the moral failures, adultery, and accountability within church leadership?
• We are seeing the mushrooming of churches, mostly led by foreign pastors. What might be the cause of this?
• The importance of repentance, spiritual readiness, and genuine faith in today’s world. – @NewsSA_Online
