5.0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable book..., July 4, 2003

By	Britt Gillette "www.brittgillette.com" (Chesapeake, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Signature Of God (Paperback)

Grant Jeffrey's "The Signature of God" sets out to prove that the Bible is the inspired word of God, passed down through the generations by the writings of Old and New Testament prophets. The majority of open-minded readers will agree that he succeeds.

"The Signature of God" attempts to prove the Bible as God's word by building a foundation of arguments based on historical documents, archeological discoveries, scientific knowledge, fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and other such evidences. Those who are not Christian or Jewish (and many of those who are) will find a tremendous amount of information they either didn't know or never before viewed in the way Jeffrey presents. The author explores the advanced medical knowledge set down in the Torah, where God instructs the Jewish people to undertake certain precautions in dealing with sick people, dead animals, and other sources of infectious disease. Long before modern science uncovered bacteria and virus, God gave the Jewish nation a means to avoid them.

The book also delves into the Bible codes, without citing many of the speculative and statistically insignificant ones espoused by "Bible Code" author Michael Drosnin. Recently, many academic institutions have been exploring these "codes", equidistant letter sequences in the text of the Old Testament books that make up the Torah. Jeffrey points out many of these codes, such as the name "Yeshua" (translated "Jesus") appearing an ordinate and statistically significant number of times within the Old Testament. In addition, Jeffrey devotes a chapter to the subject of mathematics and the Bible, a subject rarely touched on in modern literature. He catalogues the work of Ivan Panin, a Harvard mathematician who uncovered a series of alphanumeric codes in the Bible (over 30 separate codes involving the number 7 alone in the first sentence of the Bible)!

Jeffrey quite adeptly weaves his arguments together into a cohesive and formidable argument on behalf of divine authorship of the Bible, and this is a book both believers and non-believers in God will enjoy perusing. Highly recommended, one of the best modern books (written in layman's terms) on the source and history of the Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Have a little faith, August 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Signature Of God (Paperback)

I admit that I am probably "average" as far as intellect and overall knowledge; I don't claim to be an expert in proving biblical truths. Some of the information in this book I found to be quite compelling; particularly in the area of archealogical evidence. And, I admit, some of the information seemed too far stretched for my human mind to process (ie, bibilical codes). I know from my own experience that it can be easy for non-christians to marginalize the awesome and absolute truths that are in the Bible, but, if you read this book , you might find that some of your questions are answered, or, at the very least, addressed. Some reviewers claimed that the author did not have a scholarly reference list, and although I haven't looked at the bibliograpy, I do know that he repeatedly quotes the ONE AND ONLY authentic reference---the Bible itself. Granted, any and all things can be interpreted to fit one's own persepective, but did you know that it CLEARLY states in the Old Testament that the Earth is round? I mean, how else is one supposed to interpret "the sphere of the Earth."? Could God give us a more blatant statement about his divine role in creation and, therefore, our existence? I still think of that when I have doubts. It really all boils down to this: your thoughts are your reality, and this book might just give you the reality check you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start for the true seeker, May 18, 2006

By	John's humble opinion (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Signature of God: Astonishing Bible Codes Reveal September 11 Terror Attacks (Paperback)

I thought the book was great, though a bit of a slow start. It presents a good overview of evidence supporting the accuracy of the Bible and its claim to be the inspired word of God. It touches on areas of biblical studies such as science, History, Biblical archeology, manuscripts, prophetic and statistical analysis, the mysterious bible codes, etc. A thourough report in any one of these areas could and has produced volumes of books. So this book is really more of a highlight look, at these areas, and yet it presents enough to challenge the toughest of skeptics. It is great for the seeker who may not quite know where to start, and has enough power packed facts to excite them on their jouney. Another recommended book is Evidence that Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell. Written by a former atheist who researched the evidence, became a believer and felt the need to share the evidence he has since gathered. Keep seeking with an unquenching heart for truth, and you will find. Sure you will meet great resistance along the journey, but it is absolutley the greatest adventure of life. God bless.
