"History is a harsh teacher. A single incident, natural or created by human minds and hands, can change how Americans think, feel, and respond to public health disasters. Rosner and Markowitz's Are We Ready? Public Health Since 9/11 serves as a primer for all policymakers and implementers. Ultimately it’s the citizens of cities and states who will benefit or be harmed."—Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-TX), Chair, Veteran Affairs and Military Installations Committee "This book provides insight into the events of 9/11 and the anthrax attack through the experiences of numerous players at the federal, state and local levels. In so doing, it offers a better understanding of the events, the complexities, the challenges and the responses than have previously been conveyed in press accounts. The result is a picture of public health under stress and in action. The reader will have a better appreciation of what "readiness" and "being prepared" mean in the context of a public health emergency."—Jeffrey Koplan, MD, MPH, Vice President, Academic Health Affairs, Emory University.

Jesus clearly prophesied that prior to his return the whole Church will be asleep (Mt. 25:5); not just the foolish virgins, but the wise as well. So why is the Church asleep, and what are the consequences? In Are We Ready for Jesus? How to Prepare for His Return, Nelson Walters offers an explanation, and challenges the Church to wake up and begin preparing for the most important event the world will ever see. Many Christians are apathetic because they believe, "Hard times won't affect me." Find out exactly how the end times will affect you and what to do about it. Uncover THE sign of Jesus's return. Learn how to evade deception from within the Church and from false messiahs, and how to avoid "falling away." Discover the signs leading to the rise of the Antichrist and learn where we ought to be looking for him. Recognize the importance of attitude in enduring the coming storm, realize the key role of Israel, and how we need to respond to God's people. Jesus commanded us over thirty times to be observant and watchful for his return. Heed the warnings and make sure you're ready. Book jacket.

Whether a virus is unintentionally released via our modern transportation system, or deliberately by terrorists, even a small scale biological event could have a profound effect on our society. Yet our current public health system is completely unprepared to detect and respond quickly enough to avert a disease related crisis.

In the past, we have seen moves of God that were carried out by men in the flesh. This time when we hear the Spirit call, we are going to see every nation coming to Christ and saying, “I heard it! I heard it! I was praying, and God spoke to me. I want to be saved!” The world cannot get mankind together. None of their programs, none of their laws, none of their legislation, none of their marches have brought us together as one. Nothing but the blood of Jesus can bring together all men from every nation, tongue, and kindred. And now is the time! It is the time of the great ingathering of God’s elect. Nothing but the blood of Jesus can bring mankind together. ARE YOU READY?
