From the bestselling authors of The Rise of Babylon and The ISIS Crisis, the
essential guide for Christians about what Bible prophecy foretells concerning
current events in the Middle East---especially the rise of ISIS and the
resurgence of Russia---while providing a way to find peace and hope in the
face of end times concerns.
With ISIS on the rise, what do we need to know? ISIS--a name that inspires fear, a group that is gaining momentum. Horrors unheard of are plaguing the Middle East, and ISIS may be responsible for the worst among them. And yet there is so much we don't know about ISIS: Where did ISIS come from? How is ISIS distinguished from other terrorist groups? Could ISIS play a role in the end times? What does ISIS mean for Israel? What impact could these events have on the United States? How should believers respond? In The ISIS Crisis, authors Charles Dyer and Mark Tobey answer these questions and more. Drawing from history, current events, and biblical prophecy, they guide readers through the matrix of conflicts in the Middle East. Then they explore the role of ISIS in all of these matters. Finally, they encourage Christians to look to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

"The Bible is not a sterile book immaculately conceived in some sort of mystical, holy vacuum. Though God is the ultimate Author, He used human writers as His instruments. And to interpret properly His Word, we must enter their world. The bleating of sheep on barren hills, the mournful wail of a ram's horn trumpet on the temple steps, the harsh clang of sword hitting sword in epic battle hang like tapestries in the background of every page ." — Charlie DyerLife's struggles can make us feel as if we're wandering in the desert, thirsty for hope and healing. Using Isaiah 40 as a backdrop, bestselling author Charles Dyer takes us on a journey through ancient Judea for a vivid reminder that others before us have known suffering.
