A truly riveting book that exposes flaws in our national policy in regards to Israel and its capital, Jerusalem. This remarkable city has a direct impact on America's future and stability. Since there are no words for coincidence in the hebrew language, the tragedies that have befallen our own homeland recently each have a strange and compelling purpose in them.
If I could have given this book zero stars, I would have. It isn't a book, it is delusional rantings of a self-styled minister who believes that every time something bad happens to Israel and the USA doesn't do anything to stop it, then the USA is punished by natural disasters or terrorist attacks. He tries to link these two occurrences together. It is just sad. The only excuse for believing that innocent people are killed and have their lives ruined by natural disasters and terrorist acts in the USA because Israel doesn't get their way, would be metal illness. I support the right for Israel to exist and for its citizens to be safe but I don't believe the USA is being punished by God whenever Washington politicos don't agree with Israel. That is absurd. I don't like throwing books away but I am having a difficult time keeping this book in my house and feel it might be irresponsible to donate it.
I won this book through GoodReads First Read program.
I liked the idea of the book. I also agree with it. How our country reacts to Israel has a great effect on its well being. I believe what the Bible says-whoever blesses Israel will be blessed and whoever curses Israel will be cursed. They are God's people.
The book shows that when the US tries to get Israel to give up land in exchange for peace that the US suffers natural disasters within a short time frame. It is what it is. Explain it if you don't agree with it.
I also enjoyed the author telling his own faith story.
Now the negatives. This could have been written in an article. The author repeats the theme again and again. Also the presentation of the facts demonstrates that the author isn't an experienced writer.
Still an interesting analysis that should be taken seriously.
The X- Factor is a highly informative book giving insight into current international events and the rise in natural disasters as they relate to the fullfilllment of Biblical prophesy. I recommend this as a helpful tool for Christians as we seek to interpret the sign of the times and understand the importance of our right relationship with the nation of Israel.
I am ecstatic to read this book. This is the perfect addition to my collection at the time. I have been reading about the significance of historical and current events in Jerusalem in relation to what is happening around us daily in the rest of the world. I can't wait to receive my copy!
