Inside the Revolution: How the Followers of Jihad, Jefferson & Jesus Are Battling to Dominate the Middle East and Transform the World

Awesome book; I've read all of Joel Rosenberg's books and found none of them lacking. He has helped me to learn of the current national affairs that almost ALL the media has ignored or been too swayed to see or write. I applaud him on his work, and I also feel that he has had and shared many of the audiences with foreign and homeland leaders. Fox has done well in this area, but CNN and others have bought into the Kool Aid. We need well informed books such as this to give us insight into our current situations, for unfortunately, we are not hearing it from our leaders or media. Rosenberg writes very understandably and gives us the biblical and the current world affairs, which are happening so quickly I am thankful he has a website that can also be checked for daily updates. I would suggest this book to everyone, who, like me, want truth, yet cannot decifer nor depend on getting it from the media. Rosenberg does not slam others, he simply speaks the truth and has an uncanny way of projecting it before it plays out. I have never quite understood the Muslim culture, why some call it the 'peaceful' religion and yet I see terrorist, etc. This book has opened my eyes to their way of life, Iran's leader Ahmadinejad and his feeling that he must be considered their Iman of prophecy, etc. Rosenberg has met with many who understand this, and others who are thankfully being led out of this radical culture and into the truth of Jesus Christ. He has shown me as no other author the horrible deceit these people grow up in, and the huge destruction they plan to unlease on our world. Unfortunately, he has also shown me the great concern for our nation whose 'socialist' leaders from Obama to many in congress, have either decided to ignore or embraced Islam and chosen to have 'peace talks' with terrorists. I suggest everyone read this book for a greater understanding of Muslim's beliefs and where our world is headed.

In this day and age when it is difficult know if you are hearing the whole truth about current events, Joel C. Rosenberg has done a magnificent job of enlightening us to the realities of the volatile happenings in the Middle East. Twenty-four pages of footnotes fill the back pages. This book is not one man's opinion but a compilation of historical facts written in a story like format, enabling a reader to develop for themselves an accurate opinion of the dangers the world currently faces. If we want to stand for what is right and not have history remember our generation as ostriches with our heads in the sand as in WWII, this is a must read. Every politician, voter, or those in the military absolutely will find within these pages a historical, current picture of the dangers the Middle East. Because people are frightened, they want to hide in their busy lives and ignore the monster that could very soon be on their own doorstep. Enlightenment of the subjects surrounding what is happening in the Middle East is imperative for this monster to be tamed, harnessed, or destroyed. Read this and find out for yourself! After reading it I would love to hear your opinion too.

Without this book, the Western mind cannot begin to comprehend the serious threat that radical Islam poses to the world. This book explains the driving forces behind the critical headlines and global crises we face. There are 1.3 billion Muslims--Islam is a strong voice. Three movements within Islam are in place to change the world forever, for good or evil: Radicals, who believe violent jihad is the way; Reformers, who believe Islam is good but democracy is the way forward; and Revivalists, who believe Jesus is the answer, not Islam. Rosenberg provides a comprehensive work on the Islamic Revolution--its past, present, and future. He draws from the Qu'ran, testimonials and textbooks to outline the core beliefs of each movement. The top five scenarios that trouble the world's military and intelligence leaders are based on the jihadist movement obtaining nuclear capabilities. Iran's President Ahmadinejad, a catalyst and powerful influence, is driven by the conviction that Allah is holding him personally accountable to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization. In the midst of the volatile situation in the epicenter, is another powerful influence--the Revivalist movement. Millions of Muslims have converted to Christ in recent years. The testimonies are gripping. Rosenberg has been invited numerous times to speak with congressmen, senators, high-ranking military and intelligence leaders, and foreign ambassadors. Recently, he addressed a group of 125 Pentagon officials on why Ahmadinejahd's eschatology (end time theology) is driving Iranian foreign policy. Rosenberg's presentation is in the book. "Understanding these three Revolutionary movements--including the crises they are responding to and the answers they are offering--is of absolutely critical importance. Those who ignore these trends do so at their peril."

I had always been looking for a well-researched book that could explain the differences in Muslim ideology. The media would have you believe that all Muslims are terrorists, but Rosenberg goes to great lengths to illustrate the discrepencies between the radicals, the reformers, and the "rank and file" Muslims today. If you're looking for a book that will help you understand the radical Islamic ideology and their frustration with the West, this is it. In my opinion, much better than Epicenter. This takes the cake, and it's a fantastic read.

Anyone desiring to understand the mind of the Muslims, read all about them as the Radicals, the Reformers and the Revivalists in this fascinating, well-documented tome. The historical stories surrounding the recent Middle Eastern wars, America's conflicting ideas about the wars, and testimonies of key brave men fighting for their freedom are so insightful. Personal stories of Muslims grappling with their Holy Book and finding a loving God, God revealing Himself to many in miraculous ways, and the courage and commitment of Middle Easterners to bring peace, love and democracy to their lands fill the pages. What an eye-opening historical and inspirational book! Mrs. James Swanson
