A MUST READ. INCREDIBLY WELL RESEARCHED, July 21 2002
This review is from: A Woman Rides the Beast (Paperback)
I HAVE BEEN AN AVID READER AND ADMIRER OF DR. HUNT FOR YEARS. HIS WORKS ARE VERY WELL RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED. THIS MAN IS A BLESSING TO ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH AND HE EXPOSES THE FALSE DOCTRINES RAMPANT IN THE CHURCH OF ROME. HE SINCERELY CARES ABOUT LOST SOULS WHO HAVE BEEN MISGUIDED THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES BY AN INSTITUTION THAT CARES MORE ABOUT ITS OWN AMBITION THAN SAVING SOULS. HE IS BOTH COURAGEOUS AND STEADFAST IN HIS DESIRE TO EXPOSE THE LIES AND HYPOCRISY OF THE PAPACY. IT CONTAINED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF DETAILED FACTS AND CONCISELY PROVES THAT THE "VATICAN" IS THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 17. OF THIS THERE IS NO DOUBT AT ALL AND WHAT HE SAYS SQUARES WITH THE FACTS OF HISTORY. I HAVE READ MANY AUTHORS ON THE TOPIC OF REVELATION AND PROPHECY FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND MR. HUNT IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST AUTHORITIES ON THE SUBJECT. UNFORTUNATELY, HE HAS MET WITH UNFAIR CRITICISM AND YET HE IS AWARE THAT AS A CHRISTIAN WILLING TO HOLD STEADFAST TO THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE, HE WILL FACE PERSECUTION FROM THE UNBELIEVING WORLD. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE READ THIS OUTSTANDING BOOK. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN. WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE.

Well done., Jun 4 2002

This review is from: A Woman Rides the Beast (Paperback)
A thoughtful, well documented and well written book. Its facts are irrefutable and many come from RCC historians and RCC documents. Good for Catholics to understand the dogma the Vatican observes and for Christians everywhere to understand the history of the various churches.
It is interesting that the critics of this book resort to name-calling rather than attempting to point out (any) factual shortcomings in it.

Excellent History Book of the Roman Catholic Church, May 18 2002
This review is from: A Woman Rides the Beast (Paperback)
During the summer of 1998, I read this book while on a missionary trip down in Haiti. At that time, I was a Catholic and had been for over 3 years. Mind you, I wasn't born and raised Catholic. However, I wish I'd read this book before I'd converted to Catholicism.
This book covers much of the dark History of the Roman Catholic Church. Many people out there disagree with its contents. However, if you look at teh footnotes, you'll find that David Hunt used many sources, among them national files from countries around the world where the Catholic Church has had a strong presence. Now, if Catholics wanted to, they could try and prove David Hunt wrong and open the Catholic files in Rome for all to see. Are you surprised as to why they haven't? I'm not.
For Protestants, this book is good because David Hunt also exposes the doctrines that divid Protestants & Catholics. I was ignorant of many Protestant & Catholic beliefs until I read this book. In doing so, it forced me to dig deeper into my Bible to find out what the truth really was. This book helped me in leaving the Catholic Church and has helped me to embrace my evangelical roots. This, in turn, eventually drew me closer to Christ. I'd recommend this book to all Protestants, Catholics, and those that are thinking about becoming Catholic.
One lat suggestion-before you rread this book, open your Bible and read Revelation Chapters 17 & 18. Keep that spot marked as you read this book. Trust me, you'll make some startling discoveries!
