The roadmap to the end of days by Daniel Friedmann ,book review.
I rate this book a 3 out of 4.This book is about how the Bible fits in real world history and by looking at it the right way ,we can foretell future events and the end of days itself .Or as the title says "Demystifying Biblical Messianic Prophecy That Explains the Past and Present and Holds the Secret to the World's Future".
it's good at placing things in order without obvious or too much nitpicking and forced connections .It's associations can be seen as far fetched but I think that's up to the readers views,perspectives and beliefs.
I didn't give it a 2 because the content itself is good and well put together and the metaphors are well used aswell, it takes his thoughts, views and 'lessons' and highlights it more.
But..I didn't give it a perfect score because although the content was good ,the 'writing style' gives it a 'textbook or average' feel,I felt like I was reading a textbook rather than a nonfiction book.But of course it didn't promise a clever and unique writing style but it doesn't feel as good, reading it as I expected it to be .But it doesn't also commit mistakes like typos and grammatical errors and even takes it's time to explain a word that was intentionally spelt a certain way and says that it wasn't misspelt at the first place.
The book did it's best to stay logical and follow its own set diagrams ,patterns and follow it's own rules that makes sense ,rather than picking certain stories or events and putting them together and saying "they go together,that's proof!" .It didn't appear as nitpicky to me like other similar books that are trying to integrate or connect religions or myths to real life events and history .It just does such a good job at placing things in their places.
I think the book would appeal mostly to people who want to try and understand the metaphorical or nonmetaphorical verses in the bible ,how it relates to the past and how it relates to now and of course how(if it even can) can foretell the future .I can also see atheist and skeptics picking up this book to see if it can actually connect things together and if it can actually demistefy the bible and it's prophecies as promised.
The book wasn't as thought provoking as I assumed.I assumed I would be doing a lot Of, if not some pauses here and there to think about it,but all I can realy did while reading was to nod in agreement or nod in disagreement.
