Product Description
New York Times best-selling author Joel Rosenberg brings readers this thrilling new novel. When Russia's richest oil baron is killed, Moscow suddenly teeters on the verge of political chaos. Tehran races to complete its nuclear arsenal. Washington finds herself dangerously divided from her European allies. And in the dead of night, in the hills overlooking Jerusalem, a senior White House advisor uncovers a chilling ancient conspiracy as real as the morning's headlines. Woven through the writings of the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, more than 2,500 years old, are eerily prescient descriptions of modern countries then unborn, modern alliances then unformed, and an imminent day of unspeakable terror. Now, with the clock ticking down to war, two Americans are caught in the crossfire, wondering, Is the last judgment at hand?

 Great!!!
Another great book using religious texts to provide wonderful insight into what may be going on in the world. Many of the fictional events have become actual reality!

This series is AMAZING!!! ( rubiconreader )
WOW! If I had to choose one word to describe this book that one would be it. I will admit that I was slightly disappointed at the beginning of this book because it seemed that it was going to follow the format of #2. Meaning: a little too much talking and explaining and not enough action. While there was a bit of that in the beginning it quickly passed and this book took on a whole new ¡§life¡¨. Since this book has been out for a while I could care less about me throwing spoilers out there.
I had no idea this book would take the turn that it did! The ending when Russia was destroyed and Israel was saved was simply breathtaking and amazing! This book was emotional on so many levels. It was emotional on the level that you really cared for the characters. Emotional on the level that you really wanted to see the evil Nations blown the heck up. Emotional on the level that ¡§would God really step in and cause the prophecy to be true¡¨? Emotional on the level that ¡§holy crap, he REALLY did step in and cause the prophecy to come true¡¨. Emotional that Christians around the world and in times past didn¡¦t suffer in vain and that there is a paradise waiting for us in the not so distant future. Emotional on the level that we know that evil WILL be obliterated and that payback coming and when it does it¡¦s going to come H.A.R.D.!!
This book did take a much more religious turn than his last ones and makes you wonder about God. Not change your mind about God but wonder about him. If your faith can be shaken by a fictional book then you need to reevaluate your faith (Da Vinci Code haters) º But this book raises some very good questions, issues, and would be a perfect book for a discussion especially now since a lot of people believe we ARE in the last days.
This book ended on a pretty hard exclamation mark and I¡¦m really, really tempted to get the next one tonight! Usually I try and read a book in between but I simply have to know what happens next. Don¡¦t be like me and wait to read this series yall. It simply is too good to keep passing up.

Dramatic, Believable, Compelling
The centerpiece of Joel Rosenberg's 5-book series, the Ezekiel Option weaves a very credible story that shows just how quickly--and how easily--geopolitical events could culminate in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies that foretell a war against Israel ultimately won by God Himself. Great, great reading. I can't recommend it more highly!

Great Book
I was not expecting much when I began this book (due to previous series on end times) but I found it to be riveting and unemotional. The author uses scripture throughout to explain and teach the characters' positions and opinions. In my view it is much better and more intellectual than the previous series.
