“Keeping in cognizance the Indian context, Mr. Paul James has created and scientifically proven his PSCS model for studying employee satisfaction and organizational commitment which influences employee motivation. This book, with its conceptual and theoretical clarity on the PSCS-ESS model, will be a boon to the HR and business fraternity, which are keen on HRM re-engineering and optimization. Some prominent features of the model are: cause-effect analysis, which will aid in course corrections that can be implemented by the corporate; employee satisfaction and organizational commitment motivation quadrant, which will assist in identifying the types of employee motivation and help in dealing with talent and performance management issues. Mr. Paul James’s 30+ years of industrial experience, which includes 16 years of research in the area of study, is evident in this stupendous work. The model will be a blessing for Indian corporate houses aiming to achieve optimum personnel productivity and improve company work performance.”

This book is an analysis of the prophecies about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ given in the Holy Bible. The author has analyzed them with the context of historical facts and modern-day happenings in an attempt to reason that the prophecies are being fulfilled.
The narrative is not from an academic but an intellectual perspective, discussing a very important topic while navigating through various viewpoints put forth by Scholars and Bible Leaders. It puts forward a strong case in favour of the Second Coming.
In the current context of Covid-19 and its variant wreaking havoc in the world and the economic upheavals experienced, the book also provides hope in saying that even at the last moment, if one calls to the Lord, they will be saved. He tries to instil trust in the infinite love of the Lord in the readers, despite all the happenings.
The author attempts to also provide clarification on many related topics which have puzzled the readers and conveys that though the Second Coming is imminent, it is yet to come. The book does not intimidate the readers with signs seen currently but gently asks them to be clear on the word of God and not to be frightened by baseless speculations put up by even leaders. The call is to be prepared.
