Here is the bestselling author of The Late Great Planet Earth's most shocking revelation ever: the disquieting facts about a new spiritual movement that would take over our churches and government and lead us to disaster. Just as current events are converging into the precise pattern the biblical prophets predicted would herald the return of Jesus Christ; a new movement has arisen within the Evangelical Church that denies it all; allegorizing away the clear meaning of prophecy. This movement; commonly known as Dominion Theology; reintroduces an old error that brought catastrophe to the Church and the Dark Ages to the world—the same error that founded a legacy of contempt for the Jews and ultimately led to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. In clear; compelling language; Hal Lindsey sounds a vital warning about Dominion Theology—and explains why he believes it poses such a great danger not only to Israel but to every Christian as well.

YoungTake him or leave him; Paul Theroux always brings out a lot of interesting emotions in his readers. With Deep South this is no different. In fact; it is probably even more evident. I would assume that most of his readers are American. This being a very "American" book; it is perhaps too close to home for some. I can see many Americans not liking this even if they have liked Theroux's previous works. After all; it is easy to read about the negative aspects of a far away land. It is far harder to read about the issues that face locations closer to home.I remember reading The Kingdom by the Sea; which chronicles Theroux's journey around Great Britain. In the first few pages he details his observations about this island. I was living in England while I read this and I thought it was the funniest; most accurate description of the British I had ever read. The insanity of a TV license; the general tone of the people; etc. I cannot remember everything. But I felt it was totally accurate. I read these pages to several of my English friends and they got extremely upset. They thought it was total hogwash.I think Deep South might elicit a similar response from American readers. I've read nearly every non-fiction book Theroux has ever written. I've seen him speak in London and I feel I know the man pretty well. As well as you can know an author. He is constantly getting nailed for being misanthropic. However; I don't believe that's him at all. Quite the contrary. After all; why would someone spend this much time traveling and meeting new people? Surely you don't do this if you hate humanity. I don't even like to talk to people when I'm on a long flight!What Theroux is good at is simply observing what is what and writing it down. That's all. If you're offended by the way Theroux nails the Southerners for not having a great vocabulary; or being poverty stricken... well; that's how he saw it. Take it or leave it. I know of many South Africans that didn't like Dark Star Safari and thought he was full of himself and didn't do the country any justice. Perhaps that's true. I don't know.But what I do know is that I love how Theroux tells the story of the Deep South through the people he meets. This is true in all of his books. He meets quite a few people along the way and he tells their story with a keen eye for detail. He then passes this detail on to us; the reader. He's the best in the business at doing this.I for one am a fan of Deep South. I think it tells a very accurate story of what the place is like and what it's people are like. I hope Mr. Theroux writes more books about America.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Extreemly good book. Author addressed two questions for himself over ...By Richard A. RobertsExtreemly good book. Author addressed two questions for himself over 4 trips wherein he drove on road trips to the deep south; basically Summer;Fall; Winter; Spring. The two questions were: Are there areas of the South like 3rd World Countries? How did NAFTA impact the south? The reader will find he answered these and many; many more questions - at least to my satisfaction. I learned a great deal from this book and from it learned I need to read several more. Not only has NAFTA gone a long way toward destroying a way of life in the South - from looking around theUnited States after reading this book; its working hard to destroy a lot more than that! Read this book it is worth your time.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Delightful way to understand the American SouthBy NancyCaliforniaReading Paul Theroux is the BEST of armchair travel. He takes the reader along on his multiple road journeys through the rural South; from Virginia to Alabama to Arkansas. We stop in small towns; share soul food with the locals and get close to the complex relationships among race; poverty and rural life. We meet southerners and they become our friends; since much of the story is told through their voices.Theroux uses his role as outsider (he lives in New England) and as travel writer (he is a lifelong traveler and has published books on travel in Africa; India and southeast Asia) to great effect. He compares conditions to other developing countries where he has traveled and asks questions that only a northerner could get away with.Finally and most important; Deep South is a really enjoyable read and I was sorry when it ended.
