Homepage: BeguiledBook.com...Read book Preview I recently received a review copy of this book, although a Christian, I'm not what you would call an every Sunday Church goin kina guy. Armed with basic knowledge I cracked open the book, finding to my surprise no preface but a rather long introduction. Not that the intro was bad, I simply prefer a short preface outlining its goal.
I was pleased at the first chapter, written in a simple school text book style, as that of a teacher's addition. Each verse was complemented with and explanation sometimes in great length others times not much at all, but coming together well for the altogether comprehension of the subject. The book over all is written in this educational manner and nicely done. However there are times when it seems to flow off the given subject into another area, but to my chagrin, would make its way back, having offered up an entirely more profound understanding of what the scriptures were saying then it would have if having simply stayed its course (just when you think your lost, it pulls you right back in.)
The book flows smoothly form one subject to the next, I like that. The language used is simple; no overwhelming big words you need to break out the dictionary for. Then again there is one of two complaint I have, and that's with repetitiveness. The book is very repetitive even within the explanations themselves and I find it rather annoying and unnecessary. But I have to confess, that with younger persons or even adults it's often a necessary evil in teaching, to bring home a point or as said, beat it into their heads. Second complaint is poor editing, I also tend to believe a great deal more information was cut in the process, and it a shame that a book of this quality that obviously contains vast knowledge in years of study has been treated so lightly.
As I told you earlier, I have basic bible knowledge, so some of the things I read in this book were like a slap in the face, I never heard of such interpretations before, ever.
At first I thought "what a nut case" but in reading on, it all came together making perfect sense, and what I had previously believed actually made no sense according to the bible scriptures themselves. I must confess I was a rapture believer prior to absorbing this book, but now I'm free of this deception thanks to Mr. Crux. Not only am I free of the lie, but all those years I was not attending church, I feel I made up for in this one book. From this single book "Beguiled by rapture deception" I have gained more knowledge and understanding of bible then the majority of my friends who have attended churches on a regular basis their entire lives. Few books offer such profound insight as this one. I have been around a long time and know a best seller when I read it, and this has best seller potential written all through it. I know the bias's that exist in the industry between the self and traditional publishing market, and it's to bad because every so often a self published book arises that demands the same recognition and attention of those quality traditional published materials and beguiled by rapture deception certainly is one of them.
I'll put my reputation on the line and say "if you stock this book I guarantee it will sell."
No store wants deadwood sitting on their shelves, space is valuable and something that isn't selling is costing money. This book however I guarantee if presented in view of patrons along with the other new releases will fly off the shelves before many others do. I would also encourage everyone who reads it to support it on the internet thru advertising in homepages, websites, links etc.
The cover carries the title of the Christian theme...as the serpent beguiled eve...the tile reflects the books content as does the picture...the font is elegant being easy to read...containing the crimson word "Rapture" in grabbing attention as a notable sine of warning. The cover while simple does the job in supplying all the necessary elements in proper cover design. While the cover picture could have been more hi-tech and possibly questionable or more subdued as in a Garden of Eden theme, I don't feel it could have been any better in describing the books intent and subject.
I recommend this book to everyone because the value of the content out weighs everything else. I myself plan on giving copies to others as my personal witness, so I too can gain those works Mr. Crux pointed out, that I may be clothed in works not being found naked and ashamed having none when the Lord returns, as everyone one should strive to do the same. Give a copy as your personal witness.
This has been my spin what's yours?
