Book Review of Seeds of Turmoil: The Biblical Roots of the Inevitable Crisis in the Middle East

     I was sent this book to review quite a while ago and I have tried several times to read the book. I finally was able to read it and for me,this is a good book and is timely with all the stuff that is going on in the middle east and he backs his thoughts up with bible verses which impressed me. However it is a heavy book and though not for everyone.  It was not a book for me but  I still recommend it if this sounds like something you might be interested in. 

     The description of the book is this "A clear, in-depth biblical explanation of the origin, history, and significance of the Middle East conflict.
     The current conflict in the Middle East began long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. It originated when Abraham sinned, distorting God's promise that he and his heirs would make a great nation and inherit the land now called The Holy Land.
     A historical and political account, Seeds of Turmoil clearly explains the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar and the ensuing sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau, whose choices formed the world's three most influential religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
     This fascinating insight into the beginnings of the conflict also explains what about the land is so important today. In addition, Wright sheds light on the conflicting Jewish, Christian, and Islamic perspectives and answers the question, Does God play favorites?

Again I received this book for free from Booksneeze, however I was asked to give an honest opinion of it whether favorable or not.  If you would like this opportunity then go to booksneeze.com and you might be given the chance to receive either a print book or an ebook for your review.
