This book impressed me in a number of ways. One was how Biblically illuminating the book is; it gives eye-opening clarity to a subject thats deep and seems daunting. Dalton Lifsey's work is accessible. Another thing was how well it captured and held my attention. It's not full of pages, paragraphs, and language that doesn't need to be there - it's concise, to the point, and it draws you into its message. And for a topic like this, that does carry controversy and debate, this book doesn't indulge in the sensationalism and emotionalism that's so common. It is well grounded in clear Biblical reasoning and truth. I think this is a very important book and in light of all that's progressing in Israel and the middle east, it declares a timely message with a prophetic edge. I highly recommend it to all as a must read.
