Many Christians are looking for "the Day of the Lord" but before that day comes the Lord is preparing His Bride for His Divine purposes in the earth. All creation longs for that day - The Day of the Saints. This day is on God's prophetic timetable and is the day when the Saints will fulfill all the Scriptures regarding Christ's glorious church.
The Day of the Saints is written with a sense of urgency and a surge of passion about God's great plans for His end-time people. With prophetic clarity, author Bill Hamon, fits together the Biblical directives and the spiritual power that will prepare and propel the saints of God into the world. The saints of God are called to take the message of the Kingdom into the marketplaces of the world and Dr. Hamon shows how all of history has been moving towards this magnificent end.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
I don't believe I have ever read a work that has given me so much knowledge about the
history of the church and the different movements that we have experienced as this one has.
Dr. Hamon details each one of these movements, explains their importance in the timetable of God's plan, points the way towards the next move of God and finally to the climax of mankind's destiny - "The Day of The Saints." What an exciting time that will be! Never have I read it explained in such detail, nor understood the importance of each move that God planned for the Church.He writes in an easy to understand manner, not condescending but clear and pointed, leaving you with the knowledge of knowing the why's of God's movements and their importance for mankind's destiny.
I have to admit that I must shift my thinking some and get it in line with what the Lord is about to do; however this is of course what the work is about isn't it? Helping the Body of Christ to know where we have been, where we are and where we are going! This is an outstanding study book; it would be wise to keep it handy to help explain to others where we are on God's timetable. It also is a great witnessing tool to generate excitement for those whom you are trying to reach for the Lord. Share with them the future and show them what part they can play in the drama of God on earth.
Very highly recommended reading for all Christians and a real wake-up call to our destiny. Thank you Dr. Hamon!
Motivational
This is a book designed to get a response from its readers. It discusses Christians being effective in the marketplace on a spiritual level. No distinction is made between "religious" and "secular" work, i.e., if the work is done as unto God, it is His work. He traces the various movements throughout the centuries of church history to show how this generation has more insight and revelation to act on revealed truth than those in previous generations.
Every saint is called to be an effective minister for God's purposes. Those who do not work in formal church settings are not "second class" in God's perspective, they have been called, appointed, and assigned to the work they're doing. That is refreshing. The argument he makes on this is convincing. This book inspires you to be your best for your Creator, to be the wise steward He desires.
The Day of the Saints by Bill Hamon
The Day of the Saints by Bill Hamon is highly recommended for those who want to prepare themselves to participate in a great move of God before the return of Jesus Christ. If what is written in this book is correct, God has began a powerful work in present day saints, the church of Jesus. The Church will then influence Israel and the nations and major end time events. "This book will scripturally reveal that there is a last-day ministry for the Saints to fulfill. Its purpose is to enlighten the reader concerning what the Holy Spirit has been commissioned to accomplish within the Church during the next several years, and to show how each and every believer is called to participate. As the fivefold ministry gets into place in the Church, the Saints will be equipped and released to demonstrate the gospel for the Kingdom throughout the whole world."
Hamon uses a historical approach to revivals and church movements to draw his conclusions. He points out that since the book of Acts, the saints of God have fallen away from the revelations that God gave the church and that God has moved to restored what was lost through several movements of God including the Protestant reformation, and the new apostolic reformation. Over centuries God has restores what Hamon calls "resent day truth" and saints are able to "activate" other saints into this revealed truth. For example, he points out that in the Protestant reformation, God restored the truth of justification by faith. Believers in the Lord then learned to "activate" sinners into salvation by coaching unbelievers in the sinner's prayer. In much the same way, Pentecostals learned to" activate" saints in the Holy Spirit. They were activated in speaking in tongues. Today, Hamon points out that just as easy as Bill Graham can activate people into salvation, and Pentecostals can activate people to speaking in tongues, believers can be activated into prophetic gifts and other gifts of the Holy Spirit.
According to Hamon In the 1980's God began to restore the prophet's ministry to the church. In the 1990's he began to restore the apostle's ministry to the church. While continuing to restore these authority structures to the church, starting approximately in 2000 God is has now set in motion the power and authority of the individual believer to the church, thus the saints movement or day of the saints.
The book is divided into eleven chapters that explain theological and Present-Truth terms and is full of biblical insight. To help you decide if this book is for you, I have listed the chapter titles.
Chapter 1: Called to Be Saints
Chapter 2: Progressing, Arriving, and Becoming
Chapter 3: The First-Century Saints Movement
Chapter 4: Understanding God's Restoration Process
Chapter 5: A Brief History of Church Restoration
Chapter 6: Equipping the Saints
Chapter 7: Saints As Kings and Priests
Chapter 8: Saints in the Marketplace and Government
Chapter 9: Activating the Saints
Chapter 10: The Calling and Ministry of the Saints
Chapter 11: The Omega-Transition Generation
The Day of the Saints is written about the church for the church. It is an important work for pastors and individual believers. It is important for pastors because Hamon shares a powerful vision for pastors and how they need to see the saints in a new light. It is important for saints who seek the prophetic as a part of their lives and who want clearer insights into their role in this present hour. The time is late and God is waiting for his bride to take action. This book teach us what time it is, what action to take and provides resources on how to take it.
