Why are our children listening to music that calls for aliens to have sex with them? Why are bands naming themselves after the fall ones? Why are riots breaking out in Britain and the Middle East? What will really happen in 2012? Does all this tie in somehow with the dreadful economic conditions in which we find ourselves? Why is Lady Gaga dancing with the dead? Was all this predicted long ago? Who is the Bible, the Maya, the Hopi or Edgar Cayce? Do they all say the same thing? Do all roads lead to the same destination? L.A. Marzulli argues in the Cosmic Chess Match that we are in a Cosmic Ware that has been raging in an unseen dimension for millennia. The seeds of the present global chaos were the result of one of the earliest moves in this match However, the end is also predicted and the Rider on the White Horse will triumph.
Author, lecturer and film-maker, Lynn A. Marzulli is an evangelical Christian who travels the United States lecturing on—as his blog title proclaims—"politics, prophecy and the supernatural".
Among the eight novels he has published, the Nephilim trilogy made the Christian Booksellers' Association best-seller list. He has an e-magazine and frequently speaks on TV, radio and internet radio.
Like others of Marzulli's books his writing style is conversational which makes it easy to read. He often repeats the point he is trying to make. This repetition is a teaching style to help the student remember the important things. I don't mind that repetition as it isn't without merit. With each topic covered he leads us to the same conclusion. I read his testimony at the end with great interest. Amy own us nothing like his and I find the testimony of others fascinating in how God moves to draw His children back to Himself. Some of the world events and speculations about the outcome have already come to pass. But that does not detract from the lesson.
The Kindle versions could use some copy edit and reformatting of chapter titles to make it more aesthetically pleasing but other than that I am satisfied with the book as having met and exceeded my expectations.
Eye-opening and insightful. Provides a comprehensive look at the war between heaven and hell. Good stuff! I had an opportunity to have L.A. Marzulli as a guest on my radio show, "Divine Intervention" and to hear him tell his story first hand. He was amazing, and very interesting. You can listen to the interview here:
I chose this book because L. A. Marshall has written some very informative books. He has a way of putting information together to make sense to the average person like me. He deals with satan's trying and failing to stop God's perfect plan for us. Walk through the WORD with L.A. as he proves "Our God Reigns! Hallelujah!"
This is a Christian genre book, so my interest in it is NOT for that. I find the UFO and historical perspectives of interest, and not the Christian one. So if your interest in this book is from the latter perspective, please discount my comments here. For me, this is a bit of a conspiracy theory, that is perhaps supported by literary history. Nonetheless, it is a particular perspective that may not resonate with non-Christians. I find the history and the 'great deception' aspect of the book very interesting and do think Marzulli's discussion of genesis, the flood, Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses, giants, etc. fascinating. Nonetheless, there are many other authors with other perspectives on this literary history. It is also an end-times story for Part Two of the book. So keep that in mind. That may or may not be of interest to you. I like to consider all points of view, so I found this to be a good reference book. It also has a reading list and the author's personal testimony for how he became 'born again.'
A most interesting book describing how Satan is trying throughout history to decimate the Jewish people. In each case he is outmatched by the Most High Lord, God Almighty. He is outclassed, outmatched, and always destroyed by the one true God.
I've read L.A.'s books before and enjoy his style. Not a book just for Christians. Fantastic analysis about the spiritual battle that is constantly taking place. Making sense of what is going on behind the scenes of our world is eye-opening. Definitely worth reading.
LA has laid out the spiritual battle for our souls. The book is easy to read, understand and apply to your own life. This should be recommended reading for all Christians.
