I waited for this book for over a year, and I have to say, it was pretty much worth it. "Final Confrontation" tells the story of Jesus' ministry on earth,along with his resurrection, from an angelic point of view. I found the view points of the various angels and demons quite interesting, especially during his birth and crucifiction.

I did find a few grammatical errors in the book, but other then that, I would definitely give this book five stars. Although I wish that the series would not have ended witht his book, I think that the author, D. Brian Shafer, did a fantastic job in both his writing and accuracy. You've probably all ready read about the life of Jesus through our (a human's) viewpoint. I would reccommend reading this book, so you can see it through a spiritual one.

I read through this book so fast that I was disappointed that it came to an end. I have been following this series from the beginning and have never been disappointed. This last book deals with the life and ministry of Christ. Shafer's treatment of the drama aruond Jesus, the devils consipring, the miracles that throw them and the search for a betrayer was ecellent. I also enjoyed the historical material included in the book about Jerusalem, the temple, Herod, etc. I am recommending this entire series to all of my friends and to my pastor. I hope they make this into a movie someday--it would be great! You listening, Mel Gibson?

I have not yet read the fiction book entitled "Final Confrontation (Chronicles of the Host, Book 4).

However, I just wanted potential readers to know that if, like me, someone recommends a Christian-based books with the title "Final Confrontation", there is another book with exactly the same title.

The other book is NONfiction, and is written by MARK MALLETT, and is called "The Final Confrontation". I have not yet read it either, but my sister recommended it to me, and I looked in vain on amazon, being confused, not realizing the book she recommended is a DIFFERENT BOOK FROM THE FICTIONAL BOOK BY BRIAN SCHAFER.

I think Mark Mallet's book "Final Confrontation" (published in 2009) is about Biblical prophesy of the future end-times, with a Catholic flavor. If you, like myself, have had someone recommend a book called "Final Confrontation", and are unsure whether it is the fictional or nonfiction one, you can look up Mark Mallett's nonfiction book nowhere on amazon (except I think I found it once on amazon, but cannot seem to re-locate it now), using a google search for "Final Confrontation Mark Mallett". Good luck!

Just wanted to save other amazon users from wasting a lot of time like I ended up doing.

This book, and entire series, is enlightening and movtivational. It is brilliant in its uses of bibilical stories and scripture to create fiction that inspires one's life today. I haven't read such a good series in a long time.

These 4 books were a great read.
They take you through the Bible stories in a very interesting way. I loved the angels in the books, and loved each of their personalities. I hope there are more books to come.

Again, loved what the author was trying to get across to us. Loved how the author used the Bible to explain his story to us about Jesus Christ's birth and leading up to and including how He died on the cross. The author made it seem like it was happening today because evil can and does overcome what is happening right now. Made me realize how I can choose good over evil and that I know how very much God loves me and I choose to follow Christ and not evil. Can't wait to read more books by this author.

I really enjoyed all four books of the Chronicles of the Host! To my delight, there's a 5th book so I just ordered it today. The books are really entertaining with some history of the Old Testament and the Gospels, a fun way of learning and always drives me to the Bible for further reading. Just one error: when Jesus said to the thief next to him on the cross, as stated in Luke 23:43, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." In this 4th book, he stated "I promise you today, you will be with me in paradise." Note the word, TODAY, was written after the comma, NOT preceding it where it should be. Huge difference, different meaning. According to the Greek Interlinear, it was stated as "And He said to him, 'Truly I say to you, today with me you will be in paradise.'"

I wanted to email the author but since I don't know of any way to reach him, I thought I'd say it here.

I got my last book in a series I was reading, it came super quick and yes I would purchase from this person again... perfect.

Excellent ending to an awesome series. I just wish it wasn't over! Couldn't put it down!

I like the way the author writes. Creative imagination and follows scripture very well.
