This product has fantastic insight into America's
I enjoy all of Joel Rosenberg's books. Without fantacizing about the future, he puts America's future from the biblical perspective. Very well written, a real page turner.

on the Future of America
I've never read a Joel C Rosenberg book before. My understanding is that they are typically novels that blend political and supernatural events to provide insights into the world of prophesy and its intersection with modern days. They are books that I always say I'm going to read, but somehow, in some way, I always end up getting sidetracked and haven't yet gotten back around to reading them. I have a few of them, really, I do.
Anyway, when I heard about Implosion - which was apparently a long time ago - I was immediately interested because I recognized the knowledge and perspective an author like Rosenberg could bring to the table in a discussion of American politics and economics. Sure enough, Rosenberg lays out the current situation in no uncertain terms and provides a thorough, albeit bleak view of our nation's current state of affairs and its outlook in the coming years. Convinced that we are indeed living in the "last days," Rosenberg deftly weaves in threads of prophesy as expected and addresses questions that concern any number of politicians and people who call America their homeland.
And then, Rosenberg apparently empathizes with me and gets sidetracked. I won't call it "bait and switch," but the book takes a distinct topical turn and takes an entirely different tone. Implosion, a discussion of the woeful state of America's economy, becomes an urgent call to repentance, renewal, and revival. Given it's tangentially related as a recommended response to the current situation, boiling the "discussion" down into sermon-y soundbites is unexpected (at least from my perspective).
While I enjoy the historical journey through the First and Second Great Awakenings, I missed a critical analysis of fiscal policies that may or may not address the current economic crises. Though I appreciate the altar call and detailed list of steps to restore a right relationship with God, I expected... Actually, I don't know what I expected, but by the end of the book, I had pretty much forgotten all about the financial crisis and the potential of an economic implosion and maybe that's really the point of the book. Maybe it actually was a bait and switch after all. Maybe it's okay.

Eye opening, to say the least.
While I am not done with this book, I am very impressed with it so far. I like how well Mr. Rosenberg details every event and subject he talks about.

A book that could be taken from the morning news.
My Husbands Thoughts on Implosion by Joel C. Rosenberg
Joel Rosenberg writes another book that could be taken from the morning news. I have enjoyed reading his past published books and enjoy listening to him speak and teach on the radio/internet. In this new book, Joel gives a well researched look at diverse, possible scenarios that may spell an end to America as the leading nation of the world. Each of these future challenges are supported with fact-based statistics that show chilling trends for our nation. In each case, however, Joel also states some possible solutions that may help turn us around, in accordance to GODâÂÂs will and timing. Joel then gives us a brief example from a historical perspective on the Great Awakenings (of the 18th and 19th centuries), and the hope that GOD may yet slow or postpone the judgments on the United States.
He ends his book with helpful and thought-provoking suggestions (guidelines) for the believer for self-examination, and Scripture to study for effective prayer for our nation, leaders, and any soul we may be able to reach with GODâÂÂs love.
I was left with the desire to re-read some chapters in this book and anticipation to read his new fiction novels.I would heartily recommend this and all of Joel RosenbergâÂÂs books, particularly, if you are interested or concerned with national and world events--just around the bend.
