Wow!

This book was written, literally decades ago...the things Billy Graham talked about are actually coming true! He was a Fantastic Preacher & Evangelist & now a Visionary!

Approaching Hoofbeats - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Billy Graham is a captivating author. He paints vivid pictures throughout, making prophesies from the book of Revelation not only understandable but exciting and believable. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking an "Okay, That-finally-makes-sense" perspective of the book of Revelation and to anyone interested in an in-depth study of End Time predictions (Believer and Non-Believer alike).

Excellent, not what I expected at all.

Billy Graham's book Approaching Hoofbeats, although being nearly twenty years old (at the time of this review), is as timely as the day it was first put to paper. The world famous Evangelist studies some of the famous symbols of John's Revelations and how they are more important than ever in today's world and Church. I admit that I approached the book with a bit of unease, the Bible warns against listening to those that interpret omens, and some believe that extends to those who try to second guess the Bible and the timing of prophecy events that Jesus said only God would know, within the context of the fiction arena, as with the Left Behind series or The Omen trilogy, I have no problems - it's fantasy. However my worries soon vanished as Mr. Graham, instead of belting out the cliched 'the end is now', leaves the inevitable to God and instead focuses on how Christians must remain diligent in faith and practice (i.e. really walk the Walk instead of puffing out our collective chests and talking the Walk). The three chapters devoted to the White Horse of Deception, I think, should be required reading for any Christian, both new to the faith or smugly tooling around with those "I'm gonna be raptured" bumper stickers (remember, Pride cometh before the fall!) next to the license plate. His firm stance on promoting peace, giving selflessly to those in need, and remaining true to scripture makes for an invigorating read. Highly recommended.
