This book is fascinating. An "hour" is actually about twenty minutes - you'd have to be a really slow reader to take an hour, and it's a very easy read, nothing of a challenge but has highlighted some amazing connections between old and new testaments, languages in the Bible and meanings of things, and also some amazing insights about Israel and God's love for Israel still. Learned a lot. A LOT. Half way through I realised that it can come in the form of a DVD/Book/discussion group format, which no doubt would be beneficial but I loved just the book on it's own.
I would give it 5/5 as it's interesting and eye opening, but I am frustrated that he throws odd sentences into paragraphs, usually at the end, that are either teasers that you want to know more about, are seemingly unrelated to anything and just contravertial. He spends pages on things that could have been explained in one paragraph, then glosses over things that you are burning with questions over. However, he's not expounding the Bible, he's giving an overview, and that he does. Brilliantly. Although some of his teasers are ridiculous; there's the chapter on Isaiah in which he tells you that in one passage all these words and names are "encyrpted" but doesn't show you how, where or why. It's all very well saying "there are codes in the Bible, isn't it great?" but if you don't SEE the evidence, who's to say there are? His style is a little simplistic and preachy with no evidence, references or citations for his assertions, but taken as overall this is an awesome book packed full of fascinating and incredible things. My biggest bugbear was his repetition, but his final chapter despite further repetition in the overview of the entire book was powerful!
References to the Nephilim still sort of mess with my head, it's all too fantastical, but this book explains why Israel - God bless them - have had such a terrible time and show's how there will be a triumphal end! The chapters on Revelation, and the end times, were great - a serious must read for anyone interested in World Politics. The future is laid out in black and white for all to read.
Everyone should read this. Whatever faith you follow, or don't follow any faith, I'll put money on the fact you have/or have had an opinion about the Bible... READ THIS! It turns the Bible into the Enigma machine of World History.
