5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest FEAT Ever Accomplished, April 9, 2009

By 

Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" (Lexington, SC) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Third Day (Hardcover)

Hank Hanegraaff's book THE THIRD DAY is an excellent but short read on the fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Jesus is unique to Christianity since Christianity was not founded on the teachings of Jesus nor the life of Jesus but the main focus of Christianity is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The book of Acts demonstrates this point powerfully as the Apostles of Jesus, eyewitnesses to His sufferings, trials, burial, and resurrection (2 Peter 1:16-21) declared over and over again that Jesus was not dead but was alive (Acts 1:3; 2:22-24; 3:14-26; 4:10-12, 33; 5:29-32; 13:28-39; 17:30-34).

In this book, Hanegraaff takes the reader point by point through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Using the acronym FEAT, Hanegraaff shows us first that Jesus died (Fatal Torment) and did not pass out on the cross. Second, he shows us the Empty Tomb of Jesus that so powerfully declares that Jesus is alive (Matthew 28:5-6). Third, we have the Appearances of the Risen Christ in the Gospels (1 Corinthians 15:1-8). People actually saw the risen Lord! Lastly, Hanegraaff shows us the Transformed Lives that occured because of the risen Jesus. Tradition tells us that all the Apostles of Jesus gave their lives for their faith in the resurrected Jesus but why do this if in fact He did not die nor does He live?

This is a great book to read. I read it in two nights so you can pick this book up and be done with it quickly all the while growing in your understanding of the reality of Jesus' resurrection.

This review is from: The Third Day (Hardcover)

I love Hank Hanagraaff's the Bible Answer Man program. Became a fan listening to his radio program years ago. The book is an extension of that. I got this book right after Easter and it explained so much and solidified my beliefs and faith in Christ. I would recommend this book to anyone; Christian or non-Christian.

By 

amy (New York City, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Third Day (Hardcover)

This book brings an eucomenical world system atrosities("Third world system')in general - many remaining years to come - Third generational races, wars, climatic earth changes - we are now in the third and last generation - according to this 'THird -Day' book - Third day can signifiy 300 years to 3,000 (thousand) years to come - the word of God quotes - 'One day with the Lord can be like one thousand years - (3rd day = 3 thousand years)

Buy and search this book in its new apocalictic analysis to the references of third-day=3thousand yrs - it also signifies the third day Jesus Christ arose from the grave after his burial 2003 years past - it can be contemplated and certified according to the many theologians-archeologists, scholars - 3 days can be totalled to 3=3thousands-days/years/months/- it also can be transferred in a realistic point of transferral insinuation of interpretation - however the case may be, this author Hank Hanegraaf will explain in more detail about 'The Third day' controversy-
