More About the Author

BIOGRAPHY

Michael David Evans is an award-winning journalist, has appeared on hundreds of network television and radio shows including Good Morning, America, Cross Fire, Nightline, The Good Morning Show (Great Britain), and appears frequently on the Fox Network, CNN World News, NBC, ABC, and CBS. He is one of the most in-demand analysts on the subject of the Middle East.

Dr. Evans' 2008 bestseller was Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos. It was followed in 2009 by Atomic Iran, Countdown to Armageddon, and in 2010, Dr. Evans entered the field of fiction with the thriller, GameChanger. His book The Final Move beyond Iraq debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers list in May 2007. It contained interviews with former CIA director James Woolsey, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, General Hugh Shelton, Mort Zuckerman, owner, U.S. News and World Report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a host of others.

Dr. Evans' book, Showdown with Nuclear Iran became a New York Times and Amazon.com bestseller. He is also the author of 30 books including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, USA Today, Amazon #1, and Barnes and Noble.com #1 bestseller, The American Prophecies, and the New York Times bestseller, Beyond Iraq: The Next Move.

Mike Evans has won more than fifteen national awards for his prime time specials based on his books. Evans is an award-winning producer, having produced eighteen documentaries on Israel. His most famous special "Let My People Go!" spotlighted Natan Sharansky, who was at the time in a gulag in Russia. Dr. Evans asked President Ronald Reagan to seek Mr. Sharansky's release, and the release of some 400 Jewish prisoners from President Mikhail Gorbachev. Dr. Evans also worked with a Dutch government official to encourage the opening of the doors of the Dutch Embassy in Moscow to the Jews of Russia.

Dr. Evans has met with over 52 leaders of nations, (including foreign ministers, ambassadors, prime ministers and kings). He has worked closely with Israel's prime ministers for almost three decades. As an advisor to Prime Minister Begin, he recommended Benjamin Netanyahu for his first government post. His recommendation followed a meeting with the future prime minister after his brother, Jonathan, had been shot in the back while leading the raid on Entebbe in Uganda. Benjamin Netanyahu is now serving his second term as prime minister of Israel.

Dr. Evans is a member of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. He has officially represented the evangelical broadcasting community in the United States for more than two decades covering strategic events throughout the world, such as the Middle East Peace Conference in Madrid and at the 43rd General Assembly of the United Nations specially convened session in Geneva. He also covered the International UN Conference on Afghanistan in The Hague, Netherlands, and the UN Durban Review Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing, May 14, 2005
This review is from: God Wrestling: Like Jacob of Old, A Life-Changing Encounter with the Almighty (Paperback)
Genesis 32:24-25
So Jacob was left alone and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched...

Genesis 32:26
...Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."

Jacob continued his wrestling match all night to receive the blessing. This was his life changing event and as a result God changed his name from Jacob (the deceiver) to Israel (the one who struggles with God and overcomes) reflecting Jacob's character change.
Being blessed by God often comes from struggling through tough times. It's when we have nowhere else to turn that we passionately hold on to God for the answer.

I never had a deep understanding of this Bible story until I read God Wrestling by Mike Evans. Yet the book has more to offer than a simple surface understanding of a Bible passage. Mr. Evans writes of his personal struggles and life changing meetings with God. In his book he takes the reader through steps to releasing the power of God in their lives and recognizing their own self-created obstacles.

God Wrestling challenges believers to give up trying to live a Christian life and let Christ live His life through them according to His purpose not theirs. Evans shows the vast difference between knowing of Jesus and having been with Jesus.

Is this book for you?
I would recommend it for any believer who is committed in his faith and is serious about developing a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ. At 173 pages, this book is not long, but you should be prepared to spend time meditating over many thought-provoking passages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformation, March 25, 2004
This review is from: God Wrestling: Like Jacob of Old, A Life-Changing Encounter with the Almighty (Paperback)
When one accepts Christ as their Lord & Saviour, a conversion takes place. "All things become new" as it says in the scripture. What is conversion - a belief change. Yet, many Christians get stuck there and the "flesh" continues to demand its way. Mike Evans shows you exactly what Christians must do to be Transformed. "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds"
This book is not simply a pleasure read but a book that will transform your life. It's all about HIM! You can have as much or as little of God as you like. Great reading & God Wrestling....Enjoy!

God Wrestling is a must read book-even for non-christians-also
The American Prophecies: Ancient Scriptures Reveal Our Nation's Future
by Michael D. Evans


Prophecies that confims the truth, November 21, 2004
Reviewer: Deborah A. Waite (Battle Creek, MI) - See all my reviews

Some of the other responses I am reading to this book reveal that alot of these reviewers that call themselves Christians do not read the Bible. Jesus had righteous anger towards the money changers in the Temple (lv23) and (trapperj) needs to read the book of Ezekiel. I cannot believe these people are so ignorant-God love you but at least do your homework.
