The message is good. I'm glad Rosenberg is trying to raise awareness of current events from a biblical standpoint. Seems like everyone has an opinion on what is happening or what is going to happen. I trust rosenberg's understanding of the Middle East and eschitology.

That said, as a novel, this one wasn't as good as his previous works. I've read some of his previous novels, and he is good at writing fiction, but this one didn't quite grab me.

I still recommend it for people interested in rosenberg's insights, but if you're looking for a really good story with complex plot and character development, this book probably won't cut it.

I highly respect the author and will check out other books of his. Maybe the next in this series will be closer to his usual standard.
