The Uncle Hula Hoop Reunion

Welcome to the third book in the Uncle Hula Hoop series.

This is the story of Uncle Hula Hoop’s kids, a group of people bonded as children who have become fractured as adults, who gather together once again to celebrate the life of a much-loved friend.

J.C., whom readers will remember from the first two Uncle Hula Hoop books, gets word that one of the kids who found Christ through Uncle Hula Hoop’s witness has died of cancer. J.C. travels halfway across the country to celebrate the life of Bernard, a gardener and landscaper well known for his skills and winning personality.

As Uncle Hula Hoop's kids gather, they each have a story to tell, revealing the power of one man’s life that has affected each person it touched in a positive and meaningful way.

As the reunion winds down, J.C. shares a devastating misstep he made three years before that still haunts him. His startling revelation prompts Uncle Hula Hoop to challenge J.C. with a mission. Will J.C. accept? If so, the results he uncovers may change his life forever.

You will be charmed in this third volume continuing the tale of the treasured Uncle Hula Hoop, his protegee, J.C., and the people who gather with them to rejoice in the power of the risen Lord who came to bring salvation to each person who desires to live a new and redeemed life in Him.

God's Revelation and Your Future

Salvation Truth as Revealed from the Book of Revelation

The book of Revelation reveals Christ in His power and glory and the future as under God’s control.

The book of Revelation is often ignored in Bible study groups, and even by preachers because of the difficult symbolism and sometimes vague-sounding visions, but it is the one book in the Bible that God promises a special blessing to those who simply read it.

The book of Revelation is first and foremost a revelation about Jesus, not just the future.

Even the title of the book suggests this: “THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.” The focus is not just the future, it is the power of God in control of the future.

Jesus in the Gospels is the man of sorrow, acquainted with grief, pierced with our iniquities, etc. But here John reveals Christ as the King of Glory! Jesus here is the conqueror, the one in charge of history, the one who alone controls the future, controls the nations, controls all the universe! This is the Jesus who is coming!

The book of Revelation shows us the glorified Christ and the certainty of His ruling over all things. We are not stumbling toward an uncertain future, but we will not enjoy this future if we are not in fellowship with the King!

We must see this Jesus for faith in the future! This revelation is given to rouse the church to impact the world, to get its own house in order, and to be at the ready for Christ’s triumphant return. The church cannot take the luxury of deciding it has plenty of time. There is a sense of immediacy and urgency to the book of Revelation. The early church expected Christ’s return at any moment and so should we. We are closer now to His return than at any other time in history!

To figure out the date of Jesus’ second coming, or who the person will be who will become the antichrist, is not the thrust of the book. The thrust of The Revelation of Jesus Christ is to reveal Jesus Christ and His control over tomorrow and to be ready for the future when it gets here! And it will get here! And only those who belong to Christ will welcome it and benefit from it.

Are you ready for the future?
