Negative Positive
Title: Good and bad
Review: The author's views on Islam are probably accurate. It is a religion that is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Scripture but his understanding of that becomes faulty when he tries to predict the outcome of things that God has expressly hidden. Prophecy fever always diverts attention from the needs of the world. I have not found a book that moves the church to reach out. The solution offered by the author of these sorts of works typically urge you to go literally or figuratively out to a mountaintop to await Christ and in effect to ignore the world. Follow this sort of advice and you will be "of the world" but not in it... you will out of fear flee the world as the world would flee any other danger. Perfect love casts out fear and the glory of the church is not in seeing the future and protecting itself but in sacrificial service to advance the kingdom.
