God's Voice in the Stars: Zodiac Signs & Bible Truth

Summary: The beautiful and inspiring story of human redemption
Review: Kenneth Fleming's God's Voice In The Stars: Zodiac Signs And Bible Truth asserts that God created the stars and named the constellations long before demonic forces corrupted the meanings of the stars and beguiled naive and susceptible people into superstitious, predicting-the-future addictions to horoscopes. Drawing upon his experiences and expertise as a teacher of the Bible, Fleming presents the beautiful and inspiring story of human redemption through Christ as pictures graphically in the starry heavens. God's Voice In The Stars is a welcome and much needed Christian approach and counter to the superstition and misinformation commonly called astrology, and which perpetuated in almost every national newspaper today.

Summary: Creativity is no substitute for Truth
Review: The author plays very loose with foreign word meanings (read , he makes up word deffinitions to give credence to his theology). I do know Biblical Hebrew. Its quite obvious this author does not, but that does not stop him from making up Hebrew meanings for words. The words often aren't even Hebrew ! He does admit to using a lot of Arabic words. Unfortuanately I don't know Arabic. But if his translation of Arabic is anything like his Hebrew, its a complete waste of time to read it. The author does deserve an "A" for his creativity in weaving the gospel message out of every astrological sign and star and in twisting it far beyond its orignal intent. I'm am certain he could find the gospel message in any document.

Summary: Brief and direct
Review: This book on Biblical Astronomy is clear, concise, and avoids the trappings of literary psychobable that can often invade manuscripts on such broad subjects. This book (like The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in Biblical Astronomy. Because of its direct nature beginning students of Biblical Astronomy will benefit greatly.

Summary: Brief and direct
Review: This is a fast reading and fascinating discussion of a very timely topic. Within the past couple of weeks, articles have appeared on the net regarding scientific "discoveries" concerning past events. The matter of celestial alignment has been re-lighted for me after reading an AP news article ("Magnetic traces of a wobbling Earth", Randolph E. Schmid, Jan 20,00). The major problem that folks will have (as evidenced in at least one of the reviewer's comments) is what perspective you bring to book. I think Fleming has hit on something that fits with what the Bible (God's voice to us) describes in the Genesis account. The AP article agrees, albeit with a different perspective. See also Henry Morris' work, "The Genesis Flood". (He has another work out. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the name of it right now.) "God's Voice in the Stars" is delightful, thought-provoking reading...for those with a Christian worldview. I'm going to order two more as soon as I'm finished with this review.
