    <body><![CDATA[I was watching MSNBC about a month ago when I suddenly saw Putin (on a visit to Iran) shaking hands with Ahmadinejad, as if they were old friends.  The image alarmed me, and I immediately got this book out of the library to learn more about how this might tie into some bits and pieces of Biblical prophesy I'd heard before.<br/><br/>As I read this book, the image I saw on the news made complete sense.  I was so excited by the collection of political insights filtered through the &quot;lens of scripture.&quot;  It was like having a Bible expert next to me explaining the events of the modern day news.  I could see why the events are happening and what consequences could be imminent.  I was impressed by the intensive research, interviews, and realistic (rather than ultra-dramatic) approach to this topic.<br/><br/>I've always loved learning about Christ's second coming and am passionate about recognizing Biblical prophesy coming true.  This book helped me understand prophetic scripture with much greater depth and helped me be a more informed Christian and citizen.]]></body>
