Pat writes with great wisdom stemming from extensive education and experience. Mr. Robertson graduated with a JD from Yale law school. He also obtained a Masters Degree in Divinity. He developed the Christian "Family Channel" on cable, as well as the Christian Broadcasting Network. Mr. Robertson ran for president and won the first two Republican primaries in 1988. Pat Robertson's book, "The End of The Age" is a brilliant rendition of the end-time prophecy of the Bible. Just as the prophecy that right before the last days, the Jews would return to Jerusalem and once again form a nation, there are Biblical prophecies that are being fulfilled even today and the near future. This novel teaches Bible prophecy and Salvation in Jesus Christ in a most inspiring and colorful way. The critics are burning with conviction over this one!! "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." I Corinthians 1:18.

i never thought this guy was actually making a prediction i just thought it was a fictional story based on revelations....lol.....it is a bit of predjudice and racism in here but it was entertaining.

Err I meant all the WRONG things! Wow, Mr. Patty Robertson said that a big bad astriod will hit the earth on 2000 AD and boom goes the earth and everybody EXCEPT for him, which will go directly to heaven because "I like to preach hate and stuff, and I think drinking and cussing and doing inmoral things are O-K as long as I "find" God in the last second!" Uh, well this is 2003 actually, I don't remember a big bad astriod hitting the earth. OH!! That's why this book is selling so badly? You know, I think Pat Robertson even denied that he wrote this book now his perdictions are wrong. Oh what will be next?

Anyway, if you like to hate people of other belief/religion/race/color and etc and believes that 9-11 is caused by people of different belief/religion/race/color then here is your book!

But if you were a bit more saner then stay away from this book, you are only giving Pat Robertson more money for his manison!

Should be required reading for everyone who believes we've evolved from the apes. Clearly, we haven't -- even a chimp would find this book ridiculous. The sad thing is that there are people out there who think this is some sort of docudrama of the world to come, that it's a fictionalized account of what's just around the corner. Badly written, bigoted, anti-scientific, anti-intellectual ... this is what 12th-century illiterates would write about if they could write and if they were less progressive-minded than most of the other barbarians living in the mud huts around them. I'm sure this is what passes for literature in parts of the Deep South, but even Baptists must find this farfetched. If Robertson weren't so dangerous, he'd be laughable ... well, perhaps he's both.

I read this book on a dare over Christmas break 1998 after being offered it by a friend, and fellow skeptic, at Colorado State University, who was a physics major.

It combines dull, unexpressive prose, plus a boring, predictable tale of end-of-history redemption for American evanagelical Christians. I guess this is a way for the fundamentalist Christians to tell themselves they have been right all along, liberals and Jews be damned. Robertson's writing borders on self-parody and I found myself amused by its poor quality. He's not a good writer and obviously made no effort to hide it behind the writing talents of a good editor. Quite frankly, I doubt a good editor could do much with this dreck beyond tossing it in the trash can. Robertson is a charasmatic leader of the evangelic Christian movement, but we find no evidence of it in his writing.

What was most disapointing of all about this book was Robertson's anti-Hindu bigotry. His chiding of Jews for their non-belief is subtle, but his open hostility to Hinduism should be seen as nothing more than blatant racism.

This book is nothing but a hodge-podge of typical right-wing Christian paranoia. The characters are flat, and the plot is predictable... Don't bother reading this ignorant trash.

As this was the first book of prophecy fiction that I've read, I didn't quite know what to expect...but it was great. Gripping fiction, right-on biblical facts. Also tended to be a quick read without as many allusions to previous events (as in the Left Behind series).

And for those concerned about which viewpoint was used, it went along with the post-tribulation concept as opposed to Left Behind's pre-trib notion.

This is a wonderful book. I don't usually read anything but "information books". But this book had me glued to it. When I was done I let my husband read it and he loved it! Yesterday I gave it to a couple at church to read and told them to pass it on when they are done. This book really gives you something to think about. And make you glad you are saved! The world may not understand this book but the Christians sure do. This book should be shared.

This book is written as if written by a child. Bare in mind that im no fan of Pat Robertson himself, (seeing that he scares more would-be christians away is kind of insulting to my religion.)Even taking that into account, and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt as a writer. Im sorry i ever did, this is the poorest written book on the planet. How he got this past his editors (if indeed he HAS editors) is beyond me. The book concept was great, ill give him that, but this needed much revision before it got published.

Wow, if there's anything I love, it's a book that distracts me from the problems of the present by presenting me with fanciful, paranoid, visions of the future. Good job, PR! By the way, I finally dumped my feminist girlfriend. Turns out she wanted me to impregnate her so she could sacrifice our child to the moon goddess. Keep up the good work.
