Harvest House Publishers, 2004

Very good reference
As the name implies, this is an encyclopedic reference for Scriptural prophesy. In the front of the book is a list of topics (table of contents) of all 140+ topics discussed, and then an index of charts. A short introduction from LaHaye and Hindson follows that ...

The End of Faith (Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason)

Sam Harris

W. W. Norton and Company, 2004

To reviewer D. McMillin
Dear M. McMillin, your defense of faith gives no evidence of you having read the book you reviewed. It seems to me, that your only goal was to place a bad feedback, not an evaluation of the content. Lichtenberg, a german writer of the 18th century, once observed: "It ...

The Perfect Encouragement for Some of Us "Old Fogies"

The Merciful God of Prophecy: His Loving Plan for You in the End Times

Tim LaHaye

Warner Faith, 2002

In The Year of Our Lord!
First I must indicate, I was upset that at times throughout the book in most cases "Him", "He", and "His" with regard to God and/or Jesus was not capitalized. The capitalization was implanted before I as a child, learned to appreciate what was written for me-- The Good ...

Bible Prophecy 101: A Guide to the End Times in Plain Language (Christianity 101®)

Bruce Bickel, Stan Jantz

Harvest House Publishers, 2004

Sorry, I liked it
First, it is a 101 book :) Surprisingly, it gave me exactly what I was looking for. A list of scriptures that showed the propecy of Jesus coming before it happens. It gave maybe 15-20 of them. It also gave some generic, and maybe not complete end of times prophecies, ...

Letter to a Christian Nation: Counter Point

RC Metcalf

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

Let's be Honest
I'm usually on the music side of Amazon (some of you will probably tell me to stay there :) at any rate. Many of the reviews here are just representative of persons who have not developed mature critical thinking skills. RC Metcalf's book is great! As is Harris' ...
