In this tape program, Michele explains how to alter our negative thoughts about money and become more open to the abundance in the universe. Her great songs keep running through my head; I love it!

This audio program has at last helped me to get out of the rut I was in and shift my thinking into high again. I have been in sales with Insurance for many years and NOW I have begun to feel like it is all new and wonderful again. I of course am now making more money and I know it is becuase of this great seminar on tape and of course the songs.

Thank you Michelle keep singing those positive thoughts

Having had the author as a student where he taught at Grace Theological Seminary, his text is an outstanding review of his lectures. Dr Hoyt gives a thorough analysis of the various views of Biblical Eschatology. This text is a most both for the serious laymen and the person behind the lecturn who wish to expand their knowledge of "things to come".

J. Dwight Pentecost produced a massive 600 page study of the end times back in 1958. This softcover book by Herman Hoyt is a good alternative for those who don't want to read Pentecost's weighty tome. Hoyt begins with an overview of biblical eschatology, defining terms such as end, last, Second Coming, Imminent, Tribulation, and Mediatorial Kingdom.

The author proceeds into a study of what the Bible says about death and the intermediate state between death and bodily resurrection. He concludes from such texts as 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Phillipians 1:21-23 that the souls of believers are ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord the moment they die.

There is also a chapter about the second coming of Jesus Christ and how this event (described in Matthew 24 and Revelation 19) differs from the coming of Christ to rapture the church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). While not everyone will agree with Hoyt about seeing the coming of Christ as a two stage event, he does a good job of presenting the view. He labors hard to show why the partial rapture view and the mid tribulational and posttribulation views of the rapture are not as biblically sound as the pretribulational view. Hoyt repeatedly charges those who disagree with his take on the end times as not having a consistently literal interpretation of the Bible. I feel that this is not always the case, as there are many people who hold to different views of the rapture who do attempt to interpret literally.

There is also a helpful chapter about what the seven year tribulation will be like and another chapter about the rise of the antichrist and his evil nature. Hoyt also discusses the one thousand year reign of Christ on the earth, the different judgments in scripture, and the eternal state. The two surprises from my perspective were that a. Hoyt believes that the raptured church will be in heaven for the entire millennial reign of Christ and b. There will be an eternal distinction between Israel, the tribulation saints, the Old Testament saints, and the Church. The Church will have a greater position in eternity than the other groups, although Israel will be the greatest nation.

My problem with this last teaching is that the Bible seems to teach that we are all one in Christ (Galatians 3:28, 1 Cor 12;13) and that there is only one people of God (1 Peter 2:9, John 10:16).

But all in all, I really liked the book.

I have been interested in how this present age is going to end. Since becoming a Christian a few years back, I have tried to share our hope with those outside of Christ. This book has helped me see more ways to reach people. I read the book through in the first reading and then went back through it again. I did so, so that I could spend the time to look up the Scripture references and read them in context. I find that this is an essential part of any study of the Bible that you undertake. I was impressed with the way that the interpretation kept within the context of the passage. It took me extra time to do so, but, I feel that this is what is needed for evangelism so that we will always be able to explain the passages to those that are searching. I would recommend this book as a great tool to use when you talk with someone about Christ and about the promises that we are given. You are able to show God's love for us by showing not only what He has done in the past, but what He is going to do on our behalf in this present age and in the age to come. This book not only helps you with your sharing of our Lord, it enriches your own faith and deepens your love and appreciation of our God

What a witnessing opportunity prophecy can be as we head into the twenty first century. Everyone, whether Christian, atheist, Muslim, or Buddhist has an opinion on how the end will come about. As Christians, we have the answers as to what is going to happen in the future. What better way to discuss biblical truths with an unbeliever than to talk about something that is so important in today's society? In doing this, however, we need to know the truths and the promises God has made to us, and other parts of the world. Dr. Walvoord has spent his life researching this topic that is talked about so much in these days. Walvoord talks about end times in a way that the simple layman can understand, but with truths that should be taken to heart by the most devout student of the Bible. Walvoord explains in detail some of the issues that are staring the near future in the face. If you want to know what the Bible says about today's headlines and about why we should study prophecy, you owe it to yourself, and others to get this book. What an inspiration to know how God has kept His promises, and will keep His promises in the future.

This book packs much ammunition against the concepts conjured by Darby and his derivative adherents and movements on the merits of the ideas, not on the persons of Darby and those who bought and buy into his concepts. As such, readers are spared personal attacks that have replaced arguments on merits in today's rhetoric and public discourse. The book presents all sides of the issues.

The book exhorts the reader to be knowledgeable about the sources of his or her beliefs and attempts to find in cannonized writings what they don't say or intend to say. The author guides a healthy inquiry into the original meaning and intent of the scriptures and shows where the Darbyists have taken them.

Dr. Efird explains the beliefs shared generally by all factions of Darbyism, distilling them to three, and their derivation from the scriptures. When one reads the scriptures through Dr. Efird's eyes, one learns about the scriptural writers' intentions, their historical context, and the religious significance. Then leading the reader through the eyes of the Darbists, he shows where their ideas are non-scriptural, permutations, and inaccurate interpretations to contrive a foregone conclusion.

The Darby belief system and its offshoots attract those who seek historical, scientific and symbolic meaning from the scriptures and desire them to say what they want them to say. They appeal to those looking for explanations built upon complex cross-references and hidden, symbolic meaning. They show what others don't know, giving a heady glimpse into the unknown and a resulting sense of advantage. And finally they formulate a man-made, non-scriptural, heretical construct which this book serves to undermind.

Dr. Efird debunks the myths of the Left Behind Series with a very thorough analysis of what the Bible really says - in historical context! Before you sign up for the rapture, the antichrist and the millenium, you need to give this book a read. If you allow the Holy Spirit to open up your thinking, you'll walk away from this book with a whole new understanding of books like Revelation, Daniel and 1/2Thessalonians. Don't allow the "wisdom of man" to lead you astray from the truth in the Bible.

I've been reading Mr. Joyner for years, have stepped back from active ministry because of the very things he discusses in this book, and am now rekindled to pick up his works and read them afresh (no doubt, with a greal deal of new understanding and insight into the depth of the topics he boldly nails).

This title, 'Epic Battles of the Last Days,' I consider one of his strongest discourses. The main theme is spiritual warfare, and that inside the church. Reader, you will be challenged from every side, you will be called to test yourself against the measure of the Word, you will be prompted to review your personal lifestyle and relational patterns. You will be uncomfortable, if you read this tome to reflect upon yourself.

I have no doubt there will be those who read this book and see everyone else but themselves within the pages. It's too bad, because those souls will lose out on the rich treasure-trove of wisdom that would serve to bolster their faith and strengthen their resolve to make a marked difference in Body life and ministry - one to another and to the world. The points the author makes (and deconstructs, rebuilds) will serve to be practical application. It's well done.

Mr. Joyner, keep following the Lord's voice for He's called you to speak forth a difficult message. Even so, know that more and more are beginning to hear, and to listen. This book is a much-needed blessing for the broken and battered Church the world over.

The book displays the spiritual insight that I have come to expect from Rick Joyner's Books. I can read the book over and over and still find fresh guidance in its content. The book is like a cool splash of truth to counter today's delusions.

Unless you are a history major from a very enlighten University I doubt you know even part of the history of the Christian Church and the Jewish People. This book opens a window into the soul of the relationship of the failure of the "Religion of Christianity" to minister the teachings of Jesus Christ to the Jewish People and it is long past time for individual Christians (and those within the organized Christian Church) to put the Teachings of Jesus (Yeshua) into POSITIVE ACTION toward God's Covenant People! The "Religion of Christianity" as practiced by too many in this world has led the way to anti-Semitism if not turned a blind eye to it and it is time for Christians to hold up Israel, the Jewish People Worldwide, Bless Them and Pray for them as this book so eloquently shows! If you believe in the word of God then this book is a must read!!!

This is a MUST READ for anyone who has a heart for the nation and people of Israel. Mr. Goll does an outstanding job in relating the history of the Jewish people as well as compel the reader to respond to the current, critical situation of the Jewish people in Israel and around the world. This book has prompted me to take on a fervency in prayer for Israel, as well as look for opportunities in my community to stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters.

Thank you, Jim Goll, for giving us such wonderful information.

John Phillips provides great insight into some of the most difficult prophetic and eschatological passages of the scriptures. I have never before read a work of such clarity that brings together many of the threads of prophesy running throughout the old and new testaments.

This is a must read for any christian looking to understand and be prepared for the events that will soon take place.

Although part of a commentary series, this book is not just a reference source. It is designed to be read through like a regular book. In an "easy reading" style,this book provides a detailed overview of just about all of the eschatological issues in the Bible. It is from a strong dispensational viewpoint. Some of the topics are what you would expect...the book of Daniel, Zechariah, the Olivet Discourse, the nation of Israel, etc. However, I learned some new things about the prophecies of Balaam and Jacob.
This book really helped unify the various prophetic themes of the Bible in my mind. It helps you see God's unified plan for the world as it unfolds through the Word of God. After you read it,you'll still want a copy around that you can reference. Although written for the layperson, to read this book does require a decent working Bible knowledge and some familiarity with Bible prophecy. Otherwise, it might overwhelm some people.

I had heard that The Book of Ezekiel was boring. Furthermore, I was told that he was not much of a prophet, when compared to Amos for example, because he was too priestly and apocalyptic. Well, after reading Berrigan's book, I know that this is not true.

I especially enjoyed Berrigan's poetic style; albeit, I wish that some of his words were not so arcane. Boberly's art is also very good.

Non-violent activists, if you want to know about street theater, read this book!

Ezekiel is one of our more difficult of Old Testament Prophets, nearly as difficult as Jesus Christ.

As the Reverend Father Daniel Berrigan states his thesis of this excellent, relatively brief commentary from ten years ago:

"Ezekiel, gloomy partisan of doom! ( . . .) Inevitably in view of his diatribes, he is taken for a renegade by the priestly caste" (of which he is member) "-- who, noblesse oblige, much prefer that the fraternity maintain a common front (p. xii)." much as today . . .

Bascially the Reverend Father Berrigan addresses three questions:

"1. What does it mean to confront the idols?

2. What is the spiritual impact of the idols on ourselves, whose only prospect is exile, or worse -- who are actually driven forth? and

3. Have we, whether in exile or at home, submitted to an amoral assimilation, covertly or openly welcoming the idols, whether foreign or domestic?"

The Reverend Father Berrigan employs exegetical methodologies as ancient as Saint Ignatius, as new as the Catholic comunidades de base spoken of so much as hope and future for our one, holy Catholic and apostolic Church by such authoritative and South American Catholic theologians as the Reverend Father Gustavo Gutierrez (see for example his landmark Teología De La Liberacion) and Friar Leonardo Boff (see his Eclesiogenesis - Las Comunidades De Base Reinventan La Iglesia). For more on this phenomenon of Catholic ecclesiology, please see Teologia de la liberacion y comunidades cristianas de base: IV Congreso Internacional Ecumenico de Teologia, Sao Paulo, 1980 (Materiales) and El Evangelio En Solentiname (Coleccion Estructuras y Procesos).

Thus the Reverend Father Berrigan in producing this brilliant and powerful piece of lectio divina gathered a faithful Catholic base community in hermeneutic reflection and dialogue upon the many and difficult chapters of Ezekiel. Father Berrigan as a life long and honored member of the Society of Jesus, formed a synergistic powerhouse in combining this newer (yet primordial) method of collegial prayer with the guided Retreat methodology which Saint Ignatius of Loyola practiced in his Ejercicios Espirituales. The beautiful, nutritious fruit of this efficacious methodology we are blessed to receive here in this strong book of prophecy and call to repentance for each one of us today.

We feel Father Berrigan's essential identification in solidarity with the lonely and powerful prophet Ezekiel, rejected by his society, ignored by his religious, even despised, yet compelled to preach powerfully the call to the true Faith and orthopraxis. Thus, Father Berrigan finds in Ezekiel "A discredited priest amid a culture whose elders and priests are icons of power and rectitude." Thus this book calls us to cease worshipping our idols and return violently to the God of Compassionate Love and Peace with Justice, and finds the infiltration of idols where we least expect them. Read this Biblical book. Find release from the idols of this dark day. Enter the freedom of the true covenant of peace and of nonviolent, meek, humble Love. Love your enemies. Read this book. Hear the strong call of the prophet, then and now, and act upon this Holy and Righteous Word.

After reading Fairwarning 7, I was quite enlightened in many ways. I really liked the 6th chapter on the World Wide Government that is coming, which I believe many people in this world are not aware of. Well done Mr. Brookins. (Again, The Reviewer is NOT Fairwarning 7, the Reviewer is Ruth Anderson).

I am half way finish with this book and so far I am truly impressed with the authors opinion and account of the facts of the bible and how it coralates with the common every day occurences we experience today. Mr. Brookins point of view and recollection of the events that have occured are truly interesting. I would recommend this book to a friend and hope that a lot of americans get the opportunity to read Fairwarning 7. "It is truly a eye opener"
