the Middle East revisited....

I was just driving down the road Friday like always, running some errands on my day off, when I switched on WYLL on my car radio and happened to catch Scott Thomas interviewing Joel Rosenberg, author of a new book called, "EPICENTER: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East will Change Your Future". The interview itself really got me excited, to hear this former-Orthodox-Jew-now-born-again-Christian describing in greater detail some of the very stuff we covered last month in our prophecy sermon series, including accounts of Muslims in Iran and other middle-eastern countries who are receiving visions and dreams in which Jesus appears to them....well, I almost had to pull off the road to shout!

I found the book at Border's on Saturday morning, and the first few chapters are already every bit as riveting as his radio interview - so while I've barely started reading, I already can recommend it to you.

If you're really into this, you may want to add his blog to your list of favorites - his background as a political columnist and New York Time's best-selling author has given him access to documents and people in high places, and adds a fascinating dimension to what he writes.

All in all, it just lit my fire for this week's trip to the Middle East a little brighter - can't wait to see what God will do in our meetings, and can't wait to get back to CLC to report to you all!
