Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World: What on Earth Should We Do Now? by Dr. David Jeremiah

When things seem to be shattering around us, it is sometimes difficult to keep faith and adhere to Christian teachings. Dr. David Jeremiah’s Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World: What on Earth Should We Do Now? teaches readers how to overcome these setbacks and live prosperous lives. Each of the ten chapters is dedicated to a different confidence-building technique. Dr. Jeremiah urges his readers to remain calm, compassionate, constructive, challenged, connected, centered, confident, consistent, committed, and convinced. Each lesson is supplemented with personal anecdotes, current and historical events, films and entertainment, and of course, biblical references.

After reading Dr. Jeremiah’s earlier book, What in the World is Going On?, I was eager to begin reading his next book. Unfortunately, I am not as impressed by this book, as I was with his earlier one. While some remarkable points were made, the book seemed to drag on at times and I had to force myself to continue reading. The amount of facts and quotations was sometimes overwhelming. On the other hand, some of the most memorable points for me are the importance of bible study—both individual and communal. Another piece of simple (both helpful) advice to remain confident during troublesome times, is to ask ourselves, “If the savior returned this moment, would I be proud or ashamed of the act I was currently doing?” Overall, Dr. Jeremiah’s book is a good read for anyone needing an extra religious boost.

What in the World is Going On? 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore by David Jeremiah

I have to admit, I was very skeptical when I first picked up Dr. David Jeremiah’s What in the World is Going On? 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore. Dr. Jeremiah gathers ten biblical prophecies that predict how the world will end. Not only does he give his interpretation of the future, but he uses historical facts to prove which parts of the prophecies have already come to pass. Islamic terrorism, the fall of Rome, Iran’s nuclear weapon capability, and the invasion of Israel, along with many other events, are all addressed in this book.

For a book so packed with historical case studies, biblical readings, and current event analysis, it is written in straightforward prose. Jeremiah fully supports each one of his claims and provides notes to where he obtained his information. It would be very difficult to try to argue against Dr. Jeremiah’s claims. Thus, I would absolutely have to recommend this book to others. Not only does it provide readers with insight into how the world will eventually end, but it helps us remain optimistic and continue to enjoy whatever time is left.
