Description

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist―but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy―a woman who rides the beast.Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn’t such a view outdated? After all; today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear.Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast; prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist’s future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman’s identity beyond any reasonable doubt.A provocative account of what the Bible tells us is to come.

Great; comprehensive; historyBy Lucas BeechinorI got really interested in Viking history after reading Jared Diamond's "Collapse" and this is one of the books he recommends as additional reading. The authors provide a deep; comprehensive look at Viking history and culture and provide a great picture for anyone wanting the bigger picture of how these people lived.The book is divided into a lot of different sections which makes it great for curious; independent readers like me. I can easily flip through the book to read about what I'm most curious about. For instance; I am most interested about Viking experiences in North America; so that is where I started. However; I jumped back to the beginning after I read all the book offers on Vinland; etc.GREAT pictures throughout the book; and I like them a lot more than I thought I would.The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because it's really big and hard to hold up while reading it. The physical format just doesn't suit me but this definitely feels like a school book for college students. It's probably best to read this while setting it flat on the table. If Vikings interest you; don't hesitate to pick this up.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The process of historyBy I. Gribble-NealI was surprised at the scholarly focus of the articles in this book and feel I learned as much about the process of putting together a history as I did about the Vikings themselves. Every subject was covered from several different disciplines within science; not just on what I think of as traditional archeology describing articles discovered; but also looking at pollen counts or insect habitation. I was once again amazed at my ignorance of any history but that of the US and the poor job our school system does of teaching history. When I contemplate all the travel and trade accomplished by early civilizations; I realize how much we as citizens of this world are connected rather than separated. This book made me think which is the reason I read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent introduction...more please!By NancyRynesVery good book on the general subject of Norse exploration of the North Atlantic. Beautifully produced aesthetically. I agree; some things are missing or not fully represented; but on the whole; a very good introduction to the subject.I would like to request; though; that the authors now turn their attention to the other half of the story...the Norse exploration of the Baltic region; what we now call "Russia"; and going through into Turkey and beyond. I would love to see these authors produce a similarly comprehensive volume on that part of their trade network. Their eastern explorations are every bit as fascinating as their western ones.
