I got Y2K problems, but this book ain't one,
This review is from: The Christian's Y2K Preparedness Handbook (Paperback)
THIS BOOK SAVED MY LIFE! Some guy was handing them out on the street corner on New Year's EVE 1999, so I took one without really even thinking about it. Later that night when the clock struck midnight, all hell broke loose! All the electronic devices in my home jumped up and came to life. Then they all started to combine into a large humanoid shape, kind of like a Voltron made of blenders and electric ab belts. It started charging toward me with rage in its combination flashlight/laser pointer eyes. I ran out of my apartment screaming for help. When I got outside I was terrified to discover that there were kitchen appliance Voltrons everywhere, and they were uniformly lining up in the street. Then they started to combine together to make an even bigger Voltron-type creature. "DESTROY ALL HUMANS!" Its thundering voice bellowed as it towered high above the city. Then it started breaking stuff, which was really not cool, so I reached into my pocket and pulled out my copy of The Christian's Y2K Preparedness Handbook and flipped to a random page. I recited the words on the page and suddenly the ground began to rumble until the sky itself split open, creating a time vortex that sucked up the hulking robo-creature. This time vortex, according to the book, launched him roughly 12 years into the future. I guess we won't know if that's true until next year. Hopefully the authors will release an updated version of this book before that time, because most of the Backstreet Boys references in it are a bit dated.

A good look at the Y2K problems and how to deal with them.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Christian's Y2K Preparedness Handbook (Paperback)
I make my living as a computer consultant and have worked with computers for the last 20 years. I find that most people do not understand what all the Y2K fuss is about. This book is written from a viewpoint that only someone with experience in the computer field would have. It was not written by a writer looking to make a quick buck on the Y2K paranoia. The book gives the worst case, best case and in between possibilities and the reasons they may or may not come to be. This allows the readers to decide for themselves how extensively they want to prepare for Y2K. Information in this book is presented from the Christian viewpoint, but is of the value to all people interested in preparing properly for Y2K. I highly suggest you buy a copy and decide for yourself what level of preparedness you want to be at when you know the facts.

This review is from: The Christian's Y2K Preparedness Handbook (Paperback)
The first thing I have to say about the book is a critique of the actual book itself. I have never read a book so full of mistakes in my life! It gave me the impression that getting it to print was more important than quality assurance. I mention it because it was to the point of real annoyance. About the message of the book. It very clearly states the fact that we must maintain our Christian witness throughout our Y2K preparations as well as how we act should there be an emergency after January 1, 2000. There is some very good spiritual insight in this book. One very important thing mentioned, is that the witness and testimony of Christ to a needy world in Y2K crisis should be in the hands of born-again believers and not cult members. However, it was a tough read at the beginning. For example, after listing things that weren't going to happen with Y2K (such as: "We will NOT have a nuclear meltdown", among others), the authors state "We just do not believe these sorts of major catastrophes are going to happen." That's not good enough reason for me to breathe a sign of relief! But if you can get through the beginning of the book, the rest of the book is well worth it. They take a middle of the road stance on possible scenarios, and I find that I am even more conservative than they are. It is a very sound book theologically. The focal point is that we should be prepared spiritually first and foremost, and then physically for Y2K (Matthew 16:26). I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to be spiritually prepared, as well as physically prepared for Y2K.
