 Ignoring what this writer says in "Epicenter" would be stupid....... July 19, 2008
Joel Rosenberg has the credentials, experience, and knowledge to discuss the scary, but real implications in "Epicenter". All of the sources used by Rosenberg are sound and responsible, and include his own personal knowledge. One of these sources is the Holy Bible; completely vetted and historically accurate. Most people would "sniff" at this, however, that's only because they have never taken the time to read and vet the Bible for themselves, as many far more intellectual and qualified people have already done over hundreds of years.
This work can be very upsetting, because Rosenberg is speaking the truth and elucidating on it's implications for us, the entire human race. My advice? Read it anyway!

Turn on the national news and it will have something about the Middle East in the reports. This should not be a surprise as the Bible teaches that it will have profound influence on the end times.
This book explains what is going on in the Middle East in practical terms on a spiritual basis. It addresses such subjects as oil, Israel, Iraq, and Iran.
It is a must read for the Christian in today's world.
Must Read! July 12, 2008

I encourage anyone who's concerned about rising oil prices, the future of our country and the world to read this book. Rosenberg has the best intelligence I've seen on this subject, his insights and connections are amazing. You can't put it down. I can't wait for his next non fiction, have read 3 of his fiction books too, Ezekial Option was the best, plan to read his newest: Dead Heat soon.
The Headlines before they happen! July 10, 2008

An extraordinary book which once again, is amazingly prophetic. After reading Epicenter, daily headlines simply reflect what Rosenberg has written about the intertwined histories of the U.S. and Israel. His interpretation of the prophetic passages in Ezekiel and Revelation has answered many of my own questions as to why the U.S. does not seem to be a major player in end time events. Warnings that we must not turn our backs on Israel are so relevant in light of daily threats to our two countries - may our politicians be listening! Each day seem to bring us closer to the close of history and this book is a real asset to understanding how we must be prepared - spiritually and as citizens of this country.
 Warmongering tripe July 9, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ill-researched, dogmatic and demented - classic warmongering, in which religion plays its usual reactionary role. For example, US tele-evangelist Jim Robison opened a Republican National Convention by saying, "There will be no peace until Jesus comes. Any preaching of peace prior to this return is heresy. It is against the word of God. It is anti-Christ." This is a mirror-image of bin Laden's rhetoric - a tiny fanatical minority talking big to frighten us. Rosenberg is the same - frighten us into hysteria, to justify attacking countries that are no threat.
