Can I ask that if you want a review that you take the ime to read my guidelines.
There are certian types of book that I don’t enjoy reading, and therefore won’t review.Please also note that unless your book is either ready to be published, or already published, then it is unlikely that I will review it. I haven’t got time to proof read stories at present, so I expect submissions to be of a professional standard.

Posted on May 10th, 2009 No comments
The Gospel Prophesy
Author: Alan Fuller Genre: Non-Fiction/Spiritual
Brief:
In today’s world there isn’t a lot of agreement when it comes to the subject of religion. If there is a God, then why does the world seem to be in such a chaotic state? We need a message from God. Most Christians hope to find that message in the Bible.
Today there are many interpretations of the Bible and its prophecies. Whose interpretation is right, if anybody’s? How can these things be determined?No. of Pages: 206
Price: $18.99 / eBook $4.00
ISBN: 978-0-557-06033-7
Publisher: Lulu
Author’s Website: Alan Fuller
Synopsis:
For Christians the authority should be Christ, and those he taught directly, the apostles. The problem is that we have their words in the New Testament, but there are differing opinions on what exactly they mean.The apostles went throughout the Mediterranean world preaching the Gospel in the primitive churches. The member of those churches wrote and taught what they learned, and the writings of many of them still exist today. Many of those early Christians faced torture and martyrdom for their beliefs. If there is a disagreement over what the Bible is saying, doesn’t it make sense to consider what the early saints and martyrs taught? They were closer to the oral tradition of the apostles than we are today.
In the teaching of those earliest Christians there is sometimes found a consistency and pattern not often found among moderns. Rather than teaching a Bible of literal obscure historical facts, they saw the Word of God that taught allegorically of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If that is the case, are the Bible’s prophecies any different?By closely examining the prophetic books or Revelation and Daniel, and comparing them with other scriptures for an explanation that is consistent with early Christianity, a pattern emerges that shows design, purpose and meaning. Isn’t that what a God created universe is supposed to be about? Then we should expect to see this in His written word as well.
In THE GOSPEL PROPHECY the pattern is examined and implications for the planet’s future are analyzed. But aren’t theBible’s stories similar to the myths of other ancient cultures? This objection and others are also considered.
Review:
A very interesting book, Alan Fuller certainly knows his Gospels. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the scriptures, but I have to admit I learned a lot from this book. I always find it refreshing to find a new way of looking at an old subject, and Alan has come up trumps here. There is plenty of material to make you stop and think, it makes you revisit things you thought you had resolved.
