Historia
On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make?

Inconsistent hermeneutic leads to nonsense
Revisado: 08-04-24
Dr. Heiser interprets one Old Testament Psalm literally (when it might not be meant to be taken literally) and lets his imagination run wild. Then he says the whole Church throughout history...and I mean everyone...is wrong because their imaginations didn't come up with the same story.
Meanwhile, he takes things that the Bible clearly means to be taken literally like
- the 7 days of creation
- the worldwide flood
- the physical existence of the Leviathan at some point in history
etc. and says people are silly and unsophisticated to take them literally.
There is a reason Heiser refused to debate his views...
Heiser has a passionate, though small, set of people who agree with him that he has finally delivered the true interpretation of the Bible to the Church. It is very much like a cult, except I believe Heiser was probably saved.
I am giving Heiser's book 2 stars instead of 1 because I think he is right to highlight the existence of a divine counsel. And it is also interesting to examine what other groups thought in the ancient near east. But the book is a slog that I only finished so I could know what he said in it. It didn't take me long reading the book, though, to see that it was mostly unsubstantiated nonsense that sprang forth from his imagination.
The value of the book (which I don't recommend you waste your time on) is that it has started conversations and reexaminations of views among more careful teachers of the Bible who hold to a more consistent hermeneutic that actually respects the Bible. It will be interesting to see what they come up with about the Divine Counsel, the Book of Enoch 1, etc.

This exciting book focuses on the rise and fall of the Antichrist during the Great Tribulation. A unique feature of this book is that it features the opinions of 22 Bible prophecy experts who were interviewed by Dr. Reagan regarding key questions about the Antichrist, such as: Will he be a Jew or a Gentile? Could he be a Muslim? Will he be killed and resurrected from the dead? Where will his headquarters be located? Is he alive today?

GREAT BOOK!
Revisado: 06-18-24
I did not know anything about David Reagan when I bought this book, so I really did not know what to expect. I cannot adequately express how pleasantly surprised I was that the book is as excellent as it is. I give it my highest recommendation!
I both read it and listened to it on Audible. I gave it 5 stars on everything except Performance (which I gave 4 stars, which is still obviously very good). The text is read by AI, and thus the "reader" didn't know it shouldn't read the footnote numbers as part of the text, it frequently didn't know the proper way to read scripture chapter-and-verse numbers, and it pronounced the biblical man Job's name the way we pronounce "job" as in a task or profession. Nevertheless, I consider the use of AI a huge blessing. It allows audible versions of books that we otherwise wouldn't have and the AI sounds like a real human being 99.9% of the time.

Historia
As the world grows more volatile with looming wars, rampant pandemics, and violence in the streets, many people are wondering, is the end near? Jesus is coming soon! Sure, there is plenty of bad news on the horizon—but not for the Christian. Jesus’ end-time agenda is to give you great hope and joy. He wants to bless you and prepare you for your destiny in these last days. For more than 30 years, author, minister, and host of the weekly End of Days Update, Joseph Morris, has been awakening the Church to Jesus’ hastening return.

Some good, some awful
Revisado: 05-30-24
I made the mistake of ordering this book based on the appearance of a reliable teacher on Morris's YouTube channel. I had never heard of Morris and should have been more careful and researched him. While some of the book has sound teaching (easily found in more reliable teachers' books), other parts contain the hiss of false teaching found in the "Word Faith" movement. And like that particular band of false teachers always does, the author claims that Jesus appears to the author for in-person visits (casually leaning against his desk, for example). And, unlike when people see the Lord - or even angels - in the scripture, these "Word of Faith" false teachers don't tell us they fell on their faces and worshipped. No, they just chat with him like they would if their neighbor dropped by. Funny how they never take a photo of Jesus during these drop-bys... These accounts are obvious lies and I pity the people who are so naive and biblically unlearned that they can't immediately identify them as lies.
Steer clear of this book and author. Something by Chuck Missler or Ron Rhodes is a better choice.

Historia
Many people today cast doubt on the promises God gives his church in Bible prophecy, as predicted by Scripture itself: “Scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his coming?’” (2 Peter 3:3-4). Bible Prophecy Under Siege provides a thorough survey of the misunderstandings and misguided thinking people sometimes have about the last days.

This book does a great job of responding to the attacks on the pretribulation rapture view and of demonstrating the serious problems with the other views. I highly recommend it.

Is there credible proof that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? In The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times bestselling author, retraces his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith and builds a captivating case for Christ's divinity. In this revised and updated edition of The Case for Christ, Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions—and taking a deeper look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history.

An excellent overview of the evidence for the truth of Christianity. Similar to Josh McDowell's "More Than a Carpenter", but presented in the form of multiple interviews with experts.

Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are flooding the media with books, articles and interviews. People describe hovering over their bodies, details of their surgeries, talking with deceased relatives, and reviewing their lives in vivid detail, often while their brains should be incapable of producing rational thought or memories.

Balanced and asks all the right questions. It doesn't allow for a "God of the gaps" mentality, but neither does it allow for a "Materialism of the gaps" mentality. I liked the book so much I bought copies for my family members!

Historia
Rethinking Hell is a central resource for a view on Hell called Conditional Immortality (a.k.a. conditionalism or annihilationism). Focusing on this biblical view as held by many Evangelical Christians, we interview notable proponents, respond to the challenges of critics, present the stories of people who once held to the traditional view but are now rethinking hell, and much more.

I’m sympathetic to CI, but…

I’m sympathetic to CI, but…
Revisado: 05-26-23
I’m nearly persuaded that CI is the biblical view, but I can’t help but roll my eyes when one of its proponents claims that non-existence is terrifying and (some say) even worse than eternal torment. “Capital punishment is the worst punishment known to man, after all.” This is not true. Capital punishment is just the worst punishment we *allow ourselves* to inflict on a person. If we could keep a prisoner alive forever and torture them horribly, that would obviously be a much more terrifying punishment. Such “cruel and unusual” punishment is not available to us BECAUSE it is so much more terrible than capital punishment.
It’s also pointless to point to some people who are scared of non-existence. So what? One can point to people who are terrified of houseflies. Does their fear imply that fear of houseflies is legitimate?
I am not even a little scared of non-existence. What is there to fear? It makes sense to fear the PROCESS that I might go through on my way to non-existence (because it might be scary and painful), but not the non-existence itself. Unicorns aren’t afraid of anything…because they don’t exist. The same is true of the annihilated.
This “fear non-existence!” argument is, by far, the worst one that CI advocates offer. It is weaker than even the weakest argument that the traditionalists use and I really wish it would be abandoned.

New Age claptrap, not financial in nature
Revisado: 05-20-23
I bought this based on a recommendation I saw online. I should have investigated it, but it was so inexpensive that I didn’t bother.
The book is nothing but a series of illogical statements and the claim that by ignoring what “appears to be reality” (by which the author refers reality) and instead thinking about being rich (which is not your current reality, but he says it is) you will cause the universe to make you rich.
The “universe” is giving the author money by suckering unwary people into buying his book.
All of these high ratings are VERY suspect, in my opinion…unless, perhaps, people think that pretending the book is valuable is part of the “I believe! I believe! Make me rich, universe!” deal. When things are this silly, who knows what the gullible think??
