Summary: EYE OPENER.
Review: "Day of Deception" is brilliant. The book is an open exposee of the issues that need to be addressed in the USA. The root cause being deception. The book applies to everyone; a self-examination will tell us if we are deceived or not. There are solutions proposed, some of which I could live out. The book is for those who will take action; definitely not for faint-hearted reader. I thank God for his man of integrety and boldness whom he uses to expose a nation's deception. This book encourages and invigorates the reader to pay attention to the times and act within the limits of God's will. Fortunately, the exposure of deception in the USA emanates from love; the reading will not depress you, but tickle you...

Summary: Informative - Shocking - A must for Christians
Review: Day of Deception is an insightful look at the way subtlety is being used by Satan. Complacency of Christians, while not being thematic, is at the very least suggested. This book is a thought provoking compilation and should raise awarness in every Christian to the ongoing battle of good vs. evil in a world where evil is moving into every aspect of human life.

Summary: Beware of Strange Bedfellows!
Review: I agree with Pastor John Hagee on one thing: Most so-called "liberals" are anti-Americans who have made patriotism a dirty word, have undermined individualism and have driven me out of the Democrat party because of their hatred of liberty and the founding principles of this nation.

That said, the Christian fundamentalism he proposes as the antidote is merely a variant of the same statism he claims to refute. I know this for a fact, because I have lived in San Antonio, Texas -- where his Cornerstone Baptist Church holds sway over the religious and social lives of many of the Alamo City's denizens. Like most televangelists, he uses symbolism such as the cross, the flag to enflame the honest passions of the "silent majority," in order to get them into his tacky, garish chapel, and their dollars into his coffers.

This quasi-Fascism posing as Protestant work-ethic Christianity is the basis for this book's thesis, and it does not require much of a "leap of faith" (no pun intended) to see that deep-down, he is secretly envious of the leftists he castigates; He is merely jealous that they follow secular liberals and not charismatic conservatives.

Like most Republican evangelicals (read: "The Christian Right"), Hagee makes the specious claim that the United States of America is a "Christian Nation," and that America was founded upon "Biblical principles." His more liberal critics are equally wrong when they dismiss this out of hand, because it is indeed true that many of the parables of the Bible did have a profound impact upon the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, believed Jesus Christ to be the perfect moral paragon, a man whose ascetism, open-mindedness and stand on principle to be an ethical model for people to follow.

However, here's the rub: Because the founding fathers -- Jefferson included -- were so deeply commited to religious freedom, they believed that the best way to accomplish this was with a secular state, one that eschewed theocracy and a State-run, established church. Jefferson, after all, coined the term "separation of church and state."

What Hagee wants is quite a different animal: He and his followers believe that for America to be a moral nation that morality needs to be forced upon the citizenry by the government, said government run by uptight right-wing radical theocrats of his ilk. Hagee is one of the intolerant Christian right which promulgates the poisonous view that "We have freedom of religion, not freedom *from* religion." As a Roman Catholic, I am offended that this rich and tacky hick preacher seeks to interpose himself between me and my God, which God has given me the free will to choose my religious beliefs, and has given me the liberty to worship or reject Him.

Thus, we come full-circle to Hagee's original thesis that America's founding principles of liberty and individualism are being eroded from within. If indeed they are, he'll only have himself to blame.

Summary: Patriotism diguised as Christianity
Review: I don't deny that John C. Hagee is a Christian. However, in this book he seems to be focusing on the American flag more than the cross of Jesus as the symbol of his religion. He bases his ideas on all the patriotic rhetoric we've heard before -- dollar bills say "In God We Trust", the pledge of allegiance says we're "One Nation Under God", so therefore America MUST be a Christian nation, and any idea that goes against its foundations is therefore anti-Christian as well. I've never believed it, and for any other Christian who doesn't buy into the patriotic style of religion, I would recommend reading Who Speaks For God? by James Wallis. It talks about similar issues from a much more balanced point of view.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reviewed by Order of Melchizedek
Review: I've read this book and it is very informative concerning America's moral crisis. Even though I am not a Christian, I love listening to John Hagee, he's a man of awesome integrity and respect. The thing I disagree with in some of his books and teachings is that his (and many other pastors) interpretation of scripture and world events in prophesy is so substandard. Even though I give John Hagee an A+ and a thousand stars for emphasizing the Jewish heritage of the Bible and going by the Laws of Moses. I think Pastor Hagee would like to say more things concerning that to his congragation, but (like other pastors) is afraid to because it will stray from traditional Christian teachings. I really hope Pastor Hagee continues in the future with a more honest interpretation of scripture and just let it all out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The things that are happening in this country are amazing
Review: In this book, Mr. Hagee points out many of the problems in the country today and what has seemingly brought these problems on. From the Clinton Administration's involvement with the death of Vince Foster to the rise of the occult in music, media, etc. to the deliberate liberal bias in education and news to homosexuality, Hagee pieces these all together (with many other pieces) to show the downfall of our society in the last few decades. Some of these things are obvious while others won't make any sense until they are pointed out, but all should be a concern.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book shows the rapid decline of America today
Review: Thanks to John Hagee for telling us the real stories of how America is falling into moral degradation seemingly unaware. Hopefully, this book will open the eyes of all who read it and they will become determined to take our country back and re-affirm the attributes that made it the great nation it was in my youth. Hagee points out that America is still the greatest nation on the face of the earth, but we all need to look closely at the steps we as a nation are taking. I highly recommend this book to all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real eye opener that immediately grabs your attention!
Review: This book is a follow up to Pastor Hagee's book "The beginning of the End." The book immediately grabbed my attention as Pastor Hagee parallels our government with Israel's kingdom 2300 years ago. It's sad but true! The book covers all the witchcraft from the White House to the Church House and everything in between. The final chapter closes with what you as a believer in Jesus Christ can do to stand up for what's right. It's a must read for today's society. Most Americans are simply not aware of all the deception that is rampid in this country. Like Pastor Hagee's previous book you don't want to overlook this book!
