As I’m not Christian, I do not feel that this book is for me. It might be worth a read for more scholarly Christians, but I’ll pass. Thank you for the helpful review.

In this book Jude Meritus strives to be the voice that speaks for the church at a time when many are silent. Congratulations BOTD!

I appreciate that Jude took advantage of his position in speaking up and standing in for the church. God is making the church a voice in this end time.

After sampling this book, I know for a fact it is not for me. But your review makes the book sound better, especially when you mention the author is only presenting his beliefs, not trying to push them on the reader or saying it's his way or the highway. Thank you for the review!

The idea of this book is on point. We are in the last days and many of the prophecies of the book of Revelation are coming to fulfilment, but the funny thing is that the Church seems to be ignorant of this. I pray God opens our eyes to the devices of the evil ones.

Yes, I agree with the fact that the current day events seem to make the church deviate from its part, which is something all Christians need to be aware of and retrace their steps back to God. This is a great book to read. Congratulations on BOTD!

I love any books that delve into the wonderful elements of the Bible. I’m sure this one will definitely make its readers think. Congratulations on book of the day!

Latest Review: Three loves and other stories by Lata Gullapalli

Post by Rxynx »

This does seem like an intriguing read. I have started to read the Bible myself and the events in Genesis already seem much harsher than what modern Christianity tries to emphasize. Although my perspective may change as I get into the other stories, I still, too, feel like church is being eclipsed, overshadowed, and gradually swallowed up by false and modern humanist ideologies. Very informative to read your review, but a bit unfortunate to here the published version has quite a few grammatical errors hopefully that gets updated soon or for the next publishing!

It's fascinating to learn that many people still advocate for the smooth running of the church. It still aims at ensuring the church is still alive during the second coming of Jesus Christ. I would read this book because I also want to know what is currently happening to the church. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

This book gives clear idea on how humanist ideologies usurped the God's law. Another important point that I found was the way the book gave space for critical analysis, instead of imposing. Definitely a great read!

Religious discussions don't pique my interest, so I'll have to skip this book right now. This is best for readers who are eager to learn more about the change in the ideologies inside the church as they're affected by the present-day political issues. Congratulations on the BOTD.

As a Christian i seriously feel the churches are being overshadowed by false persons in the society I agree with the author and to tell the truth i teach my children to see God in human instead of following all the religious things.

Today's book of the day is timely as today's Christians are constantly in conflict with present-day politics, religion, and philosophy. The author alerts the public to significant threats that point to the ancient prophecies of the book of Revelation and their fulfillment in our day. Congrats on #BOTD!

Interesting premise to start with the Magna Carta, bring in the Bible, especially Revelation and discuss current events, politics and the state of religion in the modern day. *Magna Carta R.I.P?* by Jude Meritus seems to do all of this and more. Apparently this is a well researched book and the author lays out the research, discusses viewpoints and leaves the reader to discern the truth. Thanks for the enlightening review!
