Wayne Jacobsen’s “It’s Time!” Invites Readers to Live in God’s Love as the Age Draws to a Close

The post opens with the author’s account of how he came to write this book. He notes that he receives many unsolicited marketing emails about his title, and that the work began as a series of blog posts aimed at readers who believe the end of this age may be near. Rather than answering those messages, he shares that he gathered them, had an AI tool combine them into a single review, and presents that review as the body of the piece. He is open that the words are not his own, but he says they capture how he hoped the book would be read and valued.

The AI-written review that follows argues that It’s Time! approaches the end of the age differently from many Christian books on the subject. Instead of focusing on prophetic timelines, warnings of catastrophe, or predictions about current events, the book asks what kind of people believers will be when Christ returns. It presents readiness as growing in trust and love for Jesus today, and it describes the book’s letter format as personal, like a fellow traveler sharing what has been stirring in his heart. The review also places the author’s background in pastoral ministry and his earlier writing on God’s love alongside this work.

A central point in the review is that certainty about the future is not required for faithful living. Whether Christ returns soon or much later, the book calls readers to a love that outlasts self-protection, a faith that holds up under hardship, and a hope rooted in God’s character rather than in circumstances going as we wish. The review distinguishes such hope from wishful thinking and says that real hope does not deny suffering but recognizes that suffering does not have the final word. That hope, the review suggests, leads to engaging the world with compassion and peace.
