The Clock Is Ticking: Living with Urgency in God's Time
The Clock Is Ticking is more than a book-it's a wake-up call for the soul. With every passing second, eternity draws closer, yet most of us live as if we have forever. Through Scripture, raw reflection, and powerful stories, the author and preacher Faron Franklin invites you to see time the way God does: as a sacred gift, not a guarantee.
You'll laugh, reflect, and even cry-but most of all, you'll be challenged to live with holy urgency. This is for the person who's been drifting... for the one who's felt stuck... for the one who knows there's more to this life than just getting by.
It's time to stop putting off what matters most.
Because the clock is ticking... and your time matters to God.
"See that you walk wisely, not as fools, redeeming the time..." Faron encourages and pictures what such wisdom is (chapters 3 & 9 specifically) by enlightening the ticking clock in our life through purposeful response and letting God lead through our surrender. This book is a great teaching tool (helpful for both personal devotion and small group study) and you'll learn from his insight and experience. Enjoy your journey

---------------------- The Clock is Ticking is a timepiece with a gentle but effective alarm. With his book, Franklin awakens us from our apathy toward God's precious gift of time.Because time is indeed limited, Christians must use it wisely. For Jesus followers who take His words and example seriously, "wise" use means prioritizing with our time what Jesus did with His. Much of His time was invested in relationships to affect souls for all eternity.
Like money, time is either squandered or used for good purposes, including investment. Time used for relationship building is time best invested. Such investment takes intentional refocusing of our priorities, now. Franklin warns that Christians' potential for relationship investment can be rendered ineffective by Satan's lie that there will always be a "tomorrow" - at least the foreseeable future. Yet, procrastination puts off the most important task- soul winning - to a tomorrow that may never come. The result is a tragic waste of time potential; a missed opportunity to participate in the most valuable endeavor of all
Consider using your time to read The Clock Is Ticking. (It's a wise investment.) It's easy to read, but the challenge it presents is not easy to ignore Vivek Lall, Ph.D, Mid India Christian Mission --------------------- "This is a 'timely' book Faron Franklin reminds us to see time as a gift, but not a guarantee. He challenges us not to be obsessed with busyness, entertainment, and instant gratification so we miss (or misuse) the opportunities God offers us daily. A wise man once said, ' Time is what we want most, but use worst.' Drawing on biblical principles, Faron encourages readers to be good stewards of our time by living with urgency, intentionality, and purpose, keeping an eternal perspective in mind."
