As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “It’s Time: Letters to the Bride of Christ at the End of the Age” by Wayne Jacobsen — a story that encourages us that the end was never meant to frighten us, but to remind us that God’s purposes are unfolding — and that love still has the final word.
Wayne Jacobsen served as a pastor for twenty years and was also a contributing editor to Leadership Journal. As the director of Lifestream Ministries, he now travels the world helping people learn to live deeply in the life of Jesus and share it freely with others. He has written and worked with others on many books about spiritual intimacy and relational community, including He Loves Me, So You Don’t Want to Go to Church Anymore, A Man Like No Other, and The Shack. You can find his writings at Lifestream.org and hear his podcast at TheGodJourney.com. He lives in Newbury Park, California with his wife of forty years and enjoys his children and grandchildren.
In “It’s Time: Letters to the Bride of Christ at the End of the Age,” Wayne Jacobsen delivers a deeply spiritual and thought-provoking reflection on what it means to live faithfully in the final days. This compelling series, shared through his website Lifestream.org, invites readers to awaken to God’s timing — not in fear or frenzy, but in love, readiness, and renewed purpose.
Through a series of meditative letters, Jacobsen speaks directly to the heart of believers — “the Bride of Christ” — urging them to embrace their identity and mission in a world that is growing ever darker yet is still illuminated by divine grace.
Unlike apocalyptic writings that focus on prediction and panic, this books brings the message of the end times back to where it truly belongs: the heart. Jacobsen explores how followers of Christ can live with courage and intimacy with God even as the world around them shifts.
Each letter unfolds as both a revelation and a conversation — a call for believers to reexamine their priorities and let go of worldly distractions that cloud the spirit. From the early chapters to the powerful “And Then the End Shall Come,” Jacobsen shows that endings are not to be feared, but embraced as part of God’s greater redemptive plan.
What makes this book so powerful is its timeless relevance. The letters offer wisdom for anyone navigating chaos, confusion, or spiritual fatigue. Rather than sensationalize prophecy, Jacobsen humanizes it — reminding us that preparation for Christ’s return begins within.
Wayne Jacobsen’s It’s Time: Letters to the Bride of Christ at the End of the Age is both a gentle wake-up call and a balm for weary hearts. It rekindles faith, quiets fear, and restores vision to a world that desperately needs hope.
For readers longing to understand what it truly means to live in the light of eternity — not as spectators, but as beloved participants — It’s Time: Letters to the Bride of Christ at the End of the Age offers wisdom for the journey and peace for the soul.
