The End of the Age

Overall, this book is an attempt to put the coming events prophesied in Revelation and other books of the Hebrew Scriptures and Christian New Testament into a possible scenario. Reading it brought those future events more into focus for me. We won't know what is coming until it actually happens but I think Pat did a very good job of conjecturing a possible chain of events from the Bible facts and the collective perspectives that many Bible students, scientists, etc. have come up with over the years. Lastly, it will give any thoughtful person a more sober approach to their own life, encourage them to consider where they are currently at with God and challenge them to think about what they are going to spend their life's strength on. The last day of life as usual IS coming; the beginning of eternity could start for each one of us at any moment. We'd all better get ready - the sooner the better.

Pat writes with great wisdom stemming from extensive education and experience. Mr. Robertson graduated with a JD from Yale law school. He also obtained a Masters Degree in Divinity. He developed the Christian "Family Channel" on cable, as well as the Christian Broadcasting Network. Mr. Robertson ran for president and won the first two Republican primaries in 1988. Pat Robertson's book, "The End of The Age" is a brilliant rendition of the end-time prophecy of the Bible. Just as the prophecy that right before the last days, the Jews would return to Jerusalem and once again form a nation, there are Biblical prophecies that are being fulfilled even today and the near future. This novel teaches Bible prophecy and Salvation in Jesus Christ in a most inspiring and colorful way. The critics are burning with conviction over this one!! "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." I Corinthians 1:18.

i never thought this guy was actually making a prediction i just thought it was a fictional story based on revelations....lol.....it is a bit of predjudice and racism in here but it was entertaining.

Should be required reading for everyone who believes we've evolved from the apes. Clearly, we haven't -- even a chimp would find this book ridiculous. The sad thing is that there are people out there who think this is some sort of docudrama of the world to come, that it's a fictionalized account of what's just around the corner. Badly written, bigoted, anti-scientific, anti-intellectual ... this is what 12th-century illiterates would write about if they could write and if they were less progressive-minded than most of the other barbarians living in the mud huts around them. I'm sure this is what passes for literature in parts of the Deep South, but even Baptists must find this farfetched. If Robertson weren't so dangerous, he'd be laughable ... well, perhaps he's both.

I first read this book about 2 years ago. I've been passing it around ever since. It is a great book to start non-Christians thinking. It's simple, and that's where it's strength lies. Two years ago my husband (who said that the Bible was a man-made book and that people evolved from fish), read the book and began thinking. He then started to bring the book to work, lending it out to co-workers. Finally, last fall he was baptized. So no, it's not the greatest literary work ever published, but it certainly was the best investment in a book that we ever made.
