Billy Graham's book Approaching Hoofbeats, although being nearly twenty years old (at the time of this review), is as timely as the day it was first put to paper. The world famous Evangelist studies some of the famous symbols of John's Revelations and how they are more important than ever in today's world and Church. I admit that I approached the book with a bit of unease, the Bible warns against listening to those that interpret omens, and some believe that extends to those who try to second guess the Bible and the timing of prophecy events that Jesus said only God would know, within the context of the fiction arena, as with the Left Behind series or The Omen trilogy, I have no problems - it's fantasy. However my worries soon vanished as Mr. Graham, instead of belting out the cliched 'the end is now', leaves the inevitable to God and instead focuses on how Christians must remain diligent in faith and practice (i.e. really walk the Walk instead of puffing out our collective chests and talking the Walk). The three chapters devoted to the White Horse of Deception, I think, should be required reading for any Christian, both new to the faith or smugly tooling around with those "I'm gonna be raptured" bumper stickers (remember, Pride cometh before the fall!) next to the license plate. His firm stance on promoting peace, giving selflessly to those in need, and remaining true to scripture makes for an invigorating read. Highly recommended.

Billy Graham is a captivating author. He paints vivid pictures throughout, making prophesies from the book of Revelation not only understandable but exciting and believable. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking an "Okay, That-finally-makes-sense" perspective of the book of Revelation and to anyone interested in an in-depth study of End Time predictions (Believer and Non-Believer alike).

This book was written, literally decades ago...the things Billy Graham talked about are actually coming true! He was a Fantastic Preacher & Evangelist & now a Visionary!

I highly recommend this very exciting book. It is easy reading, yet never boring.

It deals with the first six chapters of the Book of Revelation. Billy Graham's book gives insight into how the Book of Revelation is prevelant to the age in which we live.

I recommend reading Billy Graham's book along with the study of the Book of Revelation.

I received this item in a good amount of time, actually it was real quick in getting delivered. It is a good item, and described perfectly. I am enjoying this book, and plan to share it with others. Thanks for a good and honest transaction.

IT WAS MORE THAN I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR AND QUITE PROMPT IN SENDING IT TOO. EASY TO RECOMMEND.

A wake up call for people who are not ready for the Second Coming

I think it is sad that so many people praise this book thinking it was written by Billy Graham when it is an established fact that Mel White was the actual author (ghostwriter). I can only imagine how many of these 5-star reviews by people from the religious right would change to 1-star reviews if they found this out, as Mel White is a well-known homosexual pastor who promotes tolerance and understanding, which is quite contrary to the non-biblical attitudes of conservative Christians. I gave it 3 stars because it was well written and interesting, but is propaganda that supports the dispensationalist plague popularized by Hal Lindsey that has been used to rationalize unjustified wars as well as many individual crimes against humanity. The truly sad thing is that most people who read books like these do it to reinforce their unsubstantiated prophecies and ignore anything that might challenge them to consider the intellectual honesty of their cherished convictions.
