Not Reading This Is Not An Option August 5, 2005
86 out of 93 found this review helpful
How you view this book may well depend on how you view the world. If you are an active secularist you might as well save your money. If your politics are decidedly liberal, you will probably not like this book. However, you have an open mind on the issues of religion and Christianity or a religious bias in your life, this novel can be unsettling, scary and compelling. One thing Joel Rosenberg does not do in this book is fail to document his thesis and he also does not fail to spin another complicated and riveting story about the politics and dangers of the world we live in. There were portions of the story which I thought could have been handled better, especially the Erin McCoy - Jon Bennett saga near the end, however this book is not trash as some have suggested and does not deserve to be trashed. It deserves to be read as a thoughtful piece of writing.
It is about the biblical end of time... September 22, 2005
38 out of 42 found this review helpful
Read the title of this review, if you aren't interested or don't believe biblical prophesy, then you probably won't find a lot that you like about this book. In fact this book will make you uncomfortable and your discomfort might even come out in your review as an emotional tirade (funny how that happens). So, rather than subject yourself to an uncomfortable reading experience just don't bother with the book. If on the other hand you are open to this type of thinking, this book will be enjoyable and will progress in ways that bring you comfort. Is it a great piece of literature? No, but it is interesting and suspenseful in a number of places. Does it take a leap of faith and are their places in this book that seem too incredible to believe? For some folks yes, but faith is what defines religion. I don't believe it is possible to predict the end of time, neither when or in what fashion, other than in general terms (the bible says fire). Like a thief in the night, that's what I have always been told. This book makes you think and I believe Rosenberg accomplished exactly what he had hoped when he wrote it.
Recommended to all fair minded people.
 Another Winner From Rosenberg! June 27, 2005
37 out of 47 found this review helpful
In this book you face a frightening reality.A Russian jet is hijacked.The jet is on it's way to committing a terrorist act on
the White House.The President makes the decision to shoot the jet down.This act causes the forces of evil to stage a coup in Russia.The evil Gogolov is brought to power as President.He rallies the radical nation of the MidEast and the European Union
into an anti American and anti Israel stance.In the United Nations he is able to pass a resolution calling fir Israel to surrender it's nuclear weapons.Failure to do so will result in a nuclear war.
Jon Bennett and Erica McCoy are in Russia tryng to finish the peace process in Lebanon.Bennett is wiunded and McCoy is held hostage.
Because of the vast forces arrayed against Israel their only option is the Ezekiel Option.This story uses knowledge of the bible very effectively.It is also a very well written book as well.It will definitelt keep you on the edge of your seat.
THE EZEKIEL OPTION--A Mandatory Read! June 23, 2005
21 out of 24 found this review helpful
Joel Rosenberg has been called a modern Nostradamus. I think he is a modern Issachar: he "understands the times" and "knows what [to] do." People who want to understand the War on Terror-who is behind it, what drives it, and how it will resolve-should read THE EZEKIEL OPTION.
Joel marches Biblical prophecy off the pages of the Bible and weaves it into in a story that informs, entertains, and mesmerizes. Joel is not a prophet (he leaves that work to Ezekiel, Daniel, and John the Revelator), but he is well versed in the Scriptures and a gifted story teller. By using fiction studded with prophetic truths from the Word of God, Joel helps arm us for battle and anticipate the victory ahead. THE EZEKIEL OPTION is fiction that is relevant. Biblical prophecies are, after all, history that is sure to happen.
Excellent adventure story based on Prophecy July 1, 2005
21 out of 25 found this review helpful
I heard Joel Rosenberg talking on the radio about this book and decided to buy it. Very happy I did. Strong story based on biblical prophecy and very relevant in the current tumultuous political landscape that we presently live in. Rosenebergs' past novels have all been released before what he writes about happens in the real world (i.e. 9/11 and Iraq war). Hopefully, for our sake, he is not on target with this one. Good character development, strong plot and interesting subject matter make this book very difficult to put down.
