Books shape us. They change our road choices, confirm (or demolish) our ideas, lead toward or away from God. Here are a few that have shaped and guided my mind, emotions, and spirit. Some books are out-of-print but worth hunting.
At the end is a suggested source of Buying Books.
William Sanford LaSor, The Truth About Armaggedon: What The Bible Says About the End Times (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1982) Prophecy is a multi-million dollar business. That is, selling books, videos, and cassettes by prophecy experts who have cracked the codes and make predictions about what will happen in the future is a lucrative business. This commercial trafficking in Bible fortune-telling gives people the impression the Scriptures can be manipulated to say anything. That's true; they can. But that doesn't mean the Scriptures don't have consistent and clear teachings about the working out of divine purposes in human history. It's LaSor's purpose to illustrate what they are. The late professor LaSor—a specialist in Dead Sea Scrolls, Semitic languages, and Old Testament—wrote this little book for a general audience to show how to approach the subject of Armageddon and the End Times using sound principles of interpretation. He gives a reader confidence to discern which things are clear in the Bible from others that aren't. Though written for Christians, Jewish readers can learn from it, especially because prophecy and Bible Code breaking is a burgeoning, but bogus, business among kabbalists and Jewish future-tellers. In many ways, Jewish audiences may be more susceptible to such chicanery because they don't know the Bile very well. LaSor can help them.
