5.0 out of 5 stars This best Biblical overview of history in print!, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What on Earth is God Doing?: Satan's Conflict with God (Paperback)

This is a book I wish I had written! It provides the reader with what I consider the best and most succinct overview of history in print from a Biblical and dispensational perspective. Showers looks at God's program from before creation to the new heavens and new earth. The author takes the view that God is sovereignly in control of history and that He is working out His plan unto His ultimate glory. I frequently utilize this book as I teach through the Scriptures. If you are a student of the Scriptures you need to have this book in your library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interpreting history from a biblical viewpoint, September 15, 2005

By 

Romney Marsh (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What on Earth is God Doing?: Satan's Conflict with God (Paperback)

The author presents biblical revelation as the ultimate reality in which to interpet history. He identifies the major players, the reasons for the conflict, and surveys selected historical and prophetic events to support the idea that God is demonstrating His sovereignty on a grand scale. For such a small book, it succeeds on a grand scale. It brings a wealth of insight and perspective to the biblical account.
