5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Information, Easy to Understand, Compelling, February 19, 2002
This review is from: Planet Earth: The Final Chapter (Paperback)
Hal Lindsey is a great author, and this is another one of his good books. He has presented insightful information on how Israel was founded, and why it had to be re-formed. How all of our lives are entwined -- believers and non-believers alike. And why we may be the generation that sees the final prophecies of the Bible unfold before our very eyes.
Yes, Mr. Lindsey can get enthusiasic at times, but he does not date set in this book, as is correct. He provides a background where the reader can compare today's world with what is described in Bible prophecy. Is time short, as Mr. Lindsey contends? It is for the reader to decide, but Mr. Lindsey provides compelling examples, that should have the reader searching in his or her own heart for a response.
As for those who may criticize Mr. Lindsey's enthusiasm for Bible prophecy as believing that we shouldn't "make plans", because Christ is coming back soon.... I don't think Mr. Lindsey actually means we shouldn't "make plans", but rather we should live with a heightened awareness that the plans that we make may, or may not come to naught. (It doesn't mean you shouldn't plan!)
If we are indeed the generation that sees the final prophecies unfold, and Mr. Lindsey provides insightful reasons as why we probably are, don't you want to know what to expect?

Excellent reading! Read the book in two days flat., November 30, 1998
This review is from: Planet Earth: The Final Chapter (Paperback)
Hal Lindsey presents the near future as presented in biblical scripture. The data is analyzed carefully against world events and the increased knowledge of these times. The layman terminology makes the book easy to read and the focus is that the Bible is a Heaven sent book with real phrophecy in it, and that the end-times described in the Bible are at hand. I could find no error in Mr. Lindsey's findings and analysis.

Wake Up!!!, October 25, 2001
This review is from: Planet Earth: The Final Chapter (Paperback)
I read this book just about a month ago, and I am still telling people about it. If you are like me and wanted to know what is happening in the world around us, this book points right to what you need to know. I have several friends already reading it. What really amazed me is that this book was written in 1998, yet many of the things that were spoken of, they are happening right now. This book is a must read for anyone that you care about who's eternal future is not secured. This will make you and them re-think what you want to do with the small amount of time that we as believers have left on this earth. No one will want to be here during "Earth's Final Chapter".
