Customer Reviews

life changing reading - a must for youth Pastors!

Saving our kids from this possiblility will not help the situation! This is a gentle but most effective way to get them thinking. I will pass this on to all our youth pastors in the county!

Truly Inspiring

Being a person who works in computer-field, you become real tired of hearing about the "Y2k" bug because you are dealing with it on a daily basis. Being a Christian, you get sick of hearing about doomsday, etc. etc. This book, however, was a pleasant and inspiring change. Mixed with facts and stories of possible Y2k affects on fictional characters, she makes you stop and think. Being Y2k prepared isn't about storing food, heading for the hills, etc. It's really about being wise and spiritual prepared all the time regardless of a programming bug. Not everyone will get it, but praise God for those who do.

Of many, the BEST single source I've read!

Thanks, Shaunti! I'm convinced that you were led by God to write this book; and while you were studying the EXPERIENCING GOD Bible study, which I Bug, for me, is the best single source of several months of internet reading from the Christian perspective. Even non-Christians may be stopped in their tracks to consider God's work in our world at this time.My focus has gone from personal survival planning to what does God expect of me in providing for my family but also those to whom Jesus would minister if He were here during this awesome period of our existence. Time is wasting; let's find out where God is working and join Him. NOW

Very good but a few soft spots

Strong, especially on what the church can do to help. A few things glossed over, such as power grid problems, which most think will be a lot worse than she suggests. Also doesn't touch issues pertaining to what the government might do, such as martial law, or the likelihood of chaos and violence in the cities. Also treats the widespread failures in banking as a remote possibility, again not the consensus of people in the know. The way the balance of the material is presented and the whole handling of chruch preparedeness makes up for it.

Our best hope for weathering the Millennium Bug

If you're concerned about Y2K, this book is a "must read". If you're a Christian, this book is a "must read". If you're neither, this book is really for you! Shaunti Feldhahn skillfully blends fiction and documented prose to help the reader understand (1) why we all need to prepare for Y2K-related shortages, (2) how our individual preparation can make us faithful witnesses of God's love to those around us, and (3) how the Church's cooperative preparations can make a difference in our communities and in the world.
