The Signature of God

I thought the book was great, though a bit of a slow start. It presents a good overview of evidence supporting the accuracy of the Bible and its claim to be the inspired word of God. It touches on areas of biblical studies such as science, History, Biblical archeology, manuscripts, prophetic and statistical analysis, the mysterious bible codes, etc. A thourough report in any one of these areas could and has produced volumes of books. So this book is really more of a highlight look, at these areas, and yet it presents enough to challenge the toughest of skeptics. It is great for the seeker who may not quite know where to start, and has enough power packed facts to excite them on their jouney. Another recommended book is Evidence that Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell. Written by a former atheist who researched the evidence, became a believer and felt the need to share the evidence he has since gathered. Keep seeking with an unquenching heart for truth, and you will find. Sure you will meet great resistance along the journey, but it is absolutley the greatest adventure of life. God bless.

Grant Jeffrey's "The Signature of God" sets out to prove that the Bible is the inspired word of God, passed down through the generations by the writings of Old and New Testament prophets. The majority of open-minded readers will agree that he succeeds."The Signature of God" attempts to prove the Bible as God's word by building a foundation of arguments based on historical documents, archeological discoveries, scientific knowledge, fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and other such evidences. Those who are not Christian or Jewish (and many of those who are) will find a tremendous amount of information they either didn't know or never before viewed in the way Jeffrey presents. The author explores the advanced medical knowledge set down in the Torah, where God instructs the Jewish people to undertake certain precautions in dealing with sick people, dead animals, and other sources of infectious disease. Long before modern science uncovered bacteria and virus, God gave the Jewish nation a means to avoid them. The book also delves into the Bible codes, without citing many of the speculative and statistically insignificant ones espoused by "Bible Code" author Michael Drosnin. Recently, many academic institutions have been exploring these "codes", equidistant letter sequences in the text of the Old Testament books that make up the Torah. Jeffrey points out many of these codes, such as the name "Yeshua" (translated "Jesus") appearing an ordinate and statistically significant number of times within the Old Testament. In addition, Jeffrey devotes a chapter to the subject of mathematics and the Bible, a subject rarely touched on in modern literature. He catalogues the work of Ivan Panin, a Harvard mathematician who uncovered a series of alphanumeric codes in the Bible (over 30 separate codes involving the number 7 alone in the first sentence of the Bible)! Jeffrey quite adeptly weaves his arguments together into a cohesive and formidable argument on behalf of divine authorship of the Bible, and this is a book both believers and non-believers in God will enjoy perusing. Highly recommended, one of the best modern books (written in layman's terms) on the source and history of the Bible.Britt Gillette...

This book is very well thought out and researched. By the end of the book, skeptics of the Bible are left with a lot to think about. Grant Jeffrey covers a multitude of subjects, and consequently, no single subject is covered comprehensively. Still, there is a lot of very useful information that one can use to defend his/her faith in Jesus Christ!

If you have a problem with the content of the book, I suggest you read his other titles which would adequately explain his viewpoints. For instance: his book on Yeshua's name. He also has a website in which he goes into more detail. Don't shoot down one of the most phenomenal books of the century just because it doesn't contain everything to your liking. He has a whole lot more out there that you can read.

I saw the writer of the book on TV. Guess what, It was a perfect presentation of thoughts about his book contents in summary. I have spent most of my time doing a research in Science and the Bible and I find the writer of the book Signature of God to be of inspiration. I also discuss a lot on Evolution Vs Creation. Grant R. Jeffrey, believe me, you are a blessing. When I was in my second year at a University, I ready another book about bible prophecy and mysteries. In it, the writer talked about the Great Pyramid. This book is perhaps other than the bible, the greatest I've read. I want to buy it but it is no longer in an old library I regularly visited. Your Book too is on my shopping list. Shalom! Shalom!
