By anyone's clock the time until the return of Christ is growing very short. Wake Up and Rest is a timely challenge the bride can ill afford to ignore, for if she does she does so at her own peril. The four key parts of the Lord's message to His bride recorded in this book are drawn from the writings of Solomon, Paul and Jesus Himself. They represent the journey of the Jewish bride as she lives out her betrothal, as she waits and watches for the return of her bridegroom. The example she presents to the bride of Christ is a message that Pastor Tom Mitchell has been preaching for the past 30 years. This book is a reflection of the urgency the Lord has impressed upon him for the bride to wake up and remember to whom she has committed herself and make herself ready for His soon return. The hour grows short and there is much at stake, both here and now and for all eternity. The question is... will she wake up? Wake Up And Rest: The Bride of Christ Sleeps at Her Own Peril, along with its four companion books (The Doorway to Rest; The Pathway to Rest; The Dangers to Rest; and The Battle for Rest) was written to challenge the bride to wake up and fulfill the role the Lord has given her in His Kingdom.
