If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in AD 144 you're reading just another book. The first Christian bible is not only the foundation of faith that virtually every denomination traces its canonical roots back to - it's also the only place you'll find the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle that he specifically references numerous times: "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:8-9).

For generations, the Old Testament has shaped Western culture—etched into our laws, language, and morality. But what if we've misunderstood it all along?

In this book, Rick Renner takes you on a deep dive into Scripture to show you that Christ’s rapture of His Church is the domino-event that will set in motion the next phase in God’s prophetic timeline. The Rapture is the event God’s people should desirously anticipate as they prepare to meet Him face to face. But the Rapture, Heaven, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are not the end for true believers in Christ, as Rick vividly explains.

Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, Living Life Backward was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live "the good life."

Read by the author. Jesus didn't come to find perfect people. Instead, He came to find those hungry for His presence and willing to be transformed into His image. We often fall into the trap of thinking the Christian life should be a steady climb upward—like a growth line that goes only up and...
