Armageddon For Beginners
on Sep. 09, 2013
Good book! It's has a very practical approach towards prophecy. Some bits were confusing, mostly the bits about the UN, but on the whole it's simple and easy to understand, which is rare for a book on Bible prophecy. I especially liked the explanation of the 70 weeks prophecy as I had never read about that before and I later confirmed some of the details with outside sources.

Churchianity Vs Christianity

I liked the simplified language and the art is quite good! I don't generally enjoy reading the epistles, but this gave a very fresh look at St. Paul's writings.

Very punchy. Bible prophecy is a subject that´s always interested me, but it´s hard to understand. This book gives a very real and pertinent perspective on how prophecy is relevant to modern day life. Kind of a spooky read, especially if you are from the U.S.!

This is a different perpective on religion. I like that the novel tries to see the positive side, though not ignoring the negative side of the religions it presents. It paints a picture of what it could be like if people genuinely sought unity with one another without getting bogged down in religious and ideological competition.

The Liberator - Part 1

Ha! Great comparison using Gandhi as the Good Samaritan! That probably shocks a few uptight religious people. It really captures the essence of what Jesus was getting at with using a Sarmaritan as a model example of loving your neighbor.

One of my favorite books as a kid! This is a good version for people who are learning English as a second language.

A Tale of Two Cities

This book is a classic. If this version were available in high school maybe I would have finished it without the teacher making us read it out loud in class! I really like the book but it was a bit hard for me to look past the older style of writing.

Ouch! Spot on. Very critical, but also very in tune with what the original write might say to the churches of today. It brings the Epistle of James in a tangible and practical context. Great drawings, btw. With so many new artists going for more of a manga style, it's good to see some great comic style drawings.
