5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Phenomenal!!!!, April 4, 2007

This review is from: From 9/11 To 666: THE CONVERGENCE OF CURRENT EVENTS, BIBLICAL PROPHECY AND THE VISION OF ISLAM (Paperback)

Having read many of the current titles out there, including the fantasy of "Left Behind," I was initially intrigued with Ralph Stice's title of the book. When I picked it up, however, I literally couldn't put it down.
He has hit the nail squarely on the head, as the saying goes.

What makes this book so different than the others out there, is that it is written by a missionary who lived among the Muslims and who understands their frustrations, anger, and current events as they deal with the geo-political-religious world. From the opening chapter of painting an imaginary scenario where the world is ruled by an Islamic Al-Mahdi, he continues in his book by supporting his thesis, and not once does he say he is absolutely correct. He leaves that up to God. But what he does is weave Scripture, compassion for the Muslim people, and current events to pose a plausible scenario.

There is much to mull over and consider in this book, as well as questions that remain long after the book has been put down. Issues such as what should the Christian church's response be to the Muslim people, and the answer is "Love." There are also warning signs along the way, such as the Achilles heel which will ultimately sink the United States, and that is the addiction to Oil and the greed of the country and how it plays into the terrorist agenda.

Ralph Stice uses Scripture very liberally, and half way through the book he gives a "timeline" which he suggests could be plausible, and he strongly believes that it's possible for the Saudi government to fall into the hands of Muslim extremists within the next few years. And given that scenario, he asks the questions about how will the Christian respond to a more simpler lifestyle.

There's a lot to consider, and I'd highly recommend this book, as it is a WAKE-UP call to the church of Jesus Christ. We need to pay more attention to the current events around us, as it is possible, based on the many Scriptures he presents, that the Anti-Christ is just waiting to rise into prominence. My question is like his own - why hasn't the country and the Church, in particular, even considered this?

A phenomenal read, and highly recommended. I wish I could give it a #10.

This review is from: From 9/11 To 666: THE CONVERGENCE OF CURRENT EVENTS, BIBLICAL PROPHECY AND THE VISION OF ISLAM (Paperback)

Ralph Stice is a modern day prophet, plain and simple. This book is anything but a dry study or your typical end-time evangelical alarmism. It is a well-written, well-thought-through, well-researched and very personal examination of what the present trends in the Islamic world, the doctrines and vision of Islam and Biblical prophecy have to say about the future of this World. Stice's experience as a missionary and friend to hundreds upon hundreds of Muslims is clearly evident from page one. Stice has also suceeded in building a rare bridge of understanding between Americans/Westerners and the Muslims that he lived amongst for so long. As the nations are presently in the early stages of a major polar-political shift that has not been seen in possibley several hundred years, Rev. Ralph Stice's poignant and prophetic work is an absolute and urgent must read for priests, pastors, imams as well as common Muslims and Christians everywhere. This is one of those rare books that someone tells you about and it gets passed around several times. I have already purchased a few extras to give away. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Positive Perspective for End-Times, December 15, 2005

This review is from: From 9/11 To 666: THE CONVERGENCE OF CURRENT EVENTS, BIBLICAL PROPHECY AND THE VISION OF ISLAM (Paperback)

Positive reviews from trusted friends and the provocative title were what initially piqued my interest to read this book, and I'm very glad that I did!

It's very informative and well researched. I appreciate the journalist writing perspective and style. I also greatly appreciate the research and citations in the book that make it simple to cross-reference and further dig into the topics that the author explores and lays out.

This has become and been a much needed resource of information on Islam from an end-times perspective that has educated me on what was previously an unknown body of knowledge for me. It also has provided background and conversation for many a dinner table discussion with friends. And perhaps it is for this that I am most grateful to Stice and this book--he has taken an area of knowledge that would seem impolite or politically incorrect and made it compassionate and intelligent. He provides well-sourced education in an area of which most Americans are very ignorant.

Buy it for yourself and give a couple to friends and I guarantee you'll have the makings of some excellent and thought-provoking and intentional dinner conversations--with perhaps eternal ramifications!
