Editorial Reviews

Review

''In a deep, gruff voice, Don Leslie presents Billy Graham's revision of his bestselling book Storm Warning. Graham has added discussions of more recent events that have relevance to his overall message on the necessity of having a solid foundation of faith in God. The work also has a motivational foreword by Graham's son. Don Leslie delivers the material as Graham himself, who is well on in years, might deliver it. Leslie slows his pace and adds drama that gives urgency to the text.'' --AudioFile --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Storm Warning, May 6, 2010

By

This review is from: Storm Warning: Whether global recession, terrorist threats, or devastating natural disasters, these ominous shadows must bring us back to the Gospel. (Hardcover)

Storm Warning by Billy Graham immediately drew my attention, as I am interested in anything that has to do with the end times. As a huge fan of the Left Behind series, I was excited to read Billy Graham's take on the various Storms (not merely the storms that are found in nature) that are occurring in the world today and compare them to the book of Revelations.

It's important to note that this book was originally published in 1992 but it has been updated to include some of the most concerning issues which occurred between 1992 and now such as Hurricane Katrina, the economic situation facing Americans, and the various terrorist events that have been occurring. It's interesting that many of the issues which were relevant to the apocalypse in the 90s have become that much more commonplace in the year 2010.

I liked the personal aspects he put into the book such as his daughter's experience with a hurricane in Florida and his childhood relationship with storms when living on a farm. I found the four horseman explanations very interesting, as I never really studied them that in-depth, especially in relation to situations that are currently occurring.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I didn't feel as if the writing was difficult to comprehend, and I was very interested to hear how the times we are currently living in can relate to the book of Revelations. This was the first book I ever read by Billy Graham, and to be honest, I was a little nervous to read one of his books thinking the analysis would be hard for me to comprehend, but as I said before, I easily understood the concepts and enjoyed the book from start to finish. In the future, I will definitely be reading more of his works.

This review is from: Storm Warning: Whether global recession, terrorist threats, or devastating natural disasters, these ominous shadows must bring us back to the Gospel. (Hardcover)

Storm Warning by Billy Graham is a well-written overview of the problems of the world today including terrorism, natural disasters, economic crisis, and conflicts that we see in today's headlines. Graham relates these storms to the Christian life. He tells of the coming apocalypse, giving his insights on the four horsemen from the book of Revelation.

This book is a revision of the original book from 1992. This was an easy book to read. It was interesting and held my attention through each chapter. Graham tells of personal situations and relates them to current and upcoming events.

Graham covers cults and the ways they deceive including spiritual deceptions and the cult of self, giving thoughts and advice on each point. He shows from Scripture the importance of and how to be an over-comer.

My favorite parts of the book are Graham's treatment of the signs of the times and the coming apocalypse. He treats horseman separately, giving examples of how each will affect the world. He finishes the book with the return of Jesus to Earth, ending the reign of Satan.

I recommend this book. It is insightful on the signs of the times and shows just how close we are to the end. He goes on to show that we can make it through any storm with God on our side. Five out of five stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Storm Warning Urges Christians To Be Alert, May 26, 2010

By 

Cafe Lily (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Storm Warning: Whether global recession, terrorist threats, or devastating natural disasters, these ominous shadows must bring us back to the Gospel. (Hardcover)

Storm Warning by Billy Graham, is newly revised and updated from the original edition which was written in 1992 and published in June 1995. It also includes a new foreword by Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham.

Storm Warning focuses on the anxiety and fear that has been sweeping our nation for many years and how the headlines (past and present) line up with Biblical prophecies. Graham talks about the state of our nation and world, the current recession, terrorist activities, natural disasters and how these and other "signs of the times" should be causing Christians to wake up and be on high alert. As I read this book, I could sense the urgency in Graham's writing and his concern with spreading the Gospel before the return of Christ.

As you would expect from Billy Graham, the salvation message is all through this book. He repeatedly stresses that peace and eternal security are NOT available, apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Although this book isn't heavy on eschatology (the study of end times) nor does it debate the various beliefs on the rapture and tribulation, Graham does explain the significance of the four horsemen mention in the book of Revelation, as well as the signs of the end times, the Apocalypse and more.

Graham makes it very clear that although various political leaders are calling for "peace" - there will not be peace in the world. In fact, Graham warns his readers that according to scripture things are most likely going to get worse before the return of Christ. In spite of such dismal news - Graham stresses that our hope comes from the message of the Gospel, the God of mercy with whom we must have a relationship.

If you know someone who is searching and open to the message of the Gospel, this book could be a very good resource.
