Thomas Key, Ph.D., was a pretribulationist for more than forty years. He and Dr. Rasmussen became friends when they were fellow faculty members at Bob Jones University in the 1950s. Almost half a century later, Dr. Key got Dr. Rasmussen’s phone number and called him. At the end of their conversation Dr. Rasmussen said, “Tom, I am now a posttribulationalist.” Dr. Key said, “Too bad.” Dr. Rasmussen said, “I’ll send you a copy of my book.” A short time later, Dr. Key wrote Dr. Rasmussen and said, “I read your book. You don’t leave much wiggle room. I am now a posttribulationalist.”
Dr. Kent Hovind, BRE, MRE, Ph.D., D.D., Th.D., says, “Your book, The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture, changed my eschatology. For over 35 years I believed and taught the pre-trib doctrine without checking it out for myself. I simply trusted the ‘experts’ on the topic. Major mistake! In 2008, I was trying diligently to understand the end time events by studying Daniel and Revelation and grew sick and tired of trying to force things to fit in with my pre-trib theology. I was becoming convinced the problem was NOT the Word of God but rather with my pre-trib belief. You had given me your book when I preached at your church, but, to be honest, I never even read it because my belief about end times was settled by my teachers years before. During my struggle to make the pieces fit, I read your book and all the lights came on! This was the answer I had been praying for! I am reading your book, The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture, for the fourth time and glean new things each time. I love it! Having read the manuscript of your new book, The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture: Abridged, I wholeheartedly recommend your new book for everyone, saved and lost, to read and to read NOW! After many hundreds of hours of soul-searching and Scripture searching, I can endorse your post-trib, pre-wrath teaching 100%. Thank you for being faithful to God and producing this book!!!
In 1995, Dave MacPherson, author of five widely-read books, wrote the following about the author’s first book, The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture: “The new pretrib-demolishing prophecy book by our friend Dr. Roland Rasmussen (pastor of the huge Faith Baptist Church of Canoga Park, CA who was featured in Dollar’s 1973 History of Fundamentalism) will be out soon. Having been allowed to see the manuscript, I’m sure that pretribs will not welcome it! And Tommy Ice of the Pre-Trib Research Center will freak out when he learns this new book is being published by Post-Trib Research Center!”
MacPherson wrote the following about the author’s new book, The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture: Abridged: “When well-known pastor and author Roland Rasmussen speaks, even pre-trib rapture teachers listen! They have to listen because his magnificent book The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture makes them speechless. Get a copy of Dr. Rasmussen’s new book (the manuscript of which I have read), The Post-Trib, Pre-Wrath Rapture: Abridged, and find out why!
Dr. R.L. Hymers, D.Min., Th.D., Litt.D., says, “Dr. Rasmussen’s book deserves a careful reading.”

No matter what you do in this life, there are certain books that you will find most useful and readable for numerous times which will grant you the ability to learn just that much more. There are few books that are this way, but this is one of those books in my opinion! Just as it is with the Bible, this book is quite full of knowledge and wisdom in the making, but in order to glean from it you must see it as “one of those books” and, therefore, you must read it again and again.
Godspeed & Good Reads!
