Epicenter: Why Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your…

NO OF PAGES: 312 SUB CAT I: Terrorism SUB CAT II: Middle East SUB CAT III: Islam DESCRIPTION: With over one million novels in print, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes, and predictions in a way that builds confidence that allows Joel to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture as a guide to understanding the past and the future. Drawing on his experience in Washington, his own exclusive interviews with world leaders, and his astute political acumen, Joel makes sense of the events surrounding the Middle East. He connects information in a way that will make you understand and really care about the world's most important events and how they impact your life--from gas prices to your bank account.Epicenter is about: Change--big changes, dramatic changes, changes that will transform the world as we know it. Answers--what the changes are underway in the world's most important countries. Insight--readers will understand the trajectory of world events by being taken inside the governments of Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, and more. Accessibility--aimed for a wide audience in both the general and Christian markets. Faith--Joel shares his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture. Epicenter will answer questions like: Will Iraq go from bad to worse? Will Israel and her Arab neighbors find peace, or is another major Middle East war just around the corner? If the new, post-Soviet Russia is our friend, why is the Kremlin creating a new class of thermonuclear weapons and building an alliance with radical Islam?NOTES: Purchased from Amazon.com. SUBTITLE: Why the current rumblings in the Middle East will change your future

Good stuff...bible prophecy. ( )

Discusses current events in Israel and neighboring countries.

Very interesting as it's something I've never read about in any depth. I have a hard time with literal interpretations of the Bible, though the explanations provided here certainly force you to reconsider some previously held assumptions. My only problem is that people have been predicting the end times since the Resurrection and it's yet to happen. That said, this book has some very probable prophecies and this author has been right in the recent past.

My major quibble is one of time gap - this book was written in 2006 and several of the major topics discussed in the book (e.g. stability in Iraq) have changed dramatically since the writing. Problem is, they've tended to change in a way that further supports the author's thesis.

Basically, it's an interesting, fast read. Worth the time. ( )

Excellent book. Demonstrates dramatically that the current events we are experiencing are right in line with Bible Prophecy and its all centered in the Middle East. If you want to know what to expect in the near future this book will show you how the events are lining up. Rosenberg doesn't speak in generalities. He is talking about real events in real time.
