book4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpiIt is always hard to digest that God speaks to man in English, and that the Author has captured each and every word faithfully in this book.
Be as it may, the book is difficult to understand without the benifit of a running commentary by the Author to explain what it is that God is saying, and why is He saying what He is saying, and what is the purpose or the reason for this "message". What is man suppose to do?
Regarding the 56 Headings: are they in the order they were revealed or were they rearranged? Is there a thread which binds each of the previous topics to the next one?
As an animal rights person, I would question why is a Goat evil or bad and the Sheep good? Is it because the goat has horns and the sheep does not? Both are creatures of God. Perhaps the Author should explain the significance.
I find at times too much emphasis is based on material things such as food, water, clothing, etc and the Author does not talk about the spiritual side of life. On page 81, God says" will not instruct with wisdom when fear is not present in the heart". Why fear ? Why not knowledge, or intelligence, or love. On page 101:"The skills of man are insufficient to avert the wrath of God". Therefore, supernatural power is needed, therefore God interferes in the affairs of man. So there is no free will?
In my opinion, the book would be easy to read and understand if accompanied with a commentary. I priced it at 4.99 because i have bought other similar books at that price.

book4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpiFrom the point of view of a non-religious reader, the format is a bit perplexing, but the content is refreshing. This isn't a straight-up religious reading, this isn't forcing religion down your throat. This is giving you an interesting way to read through someone else's eyes, this is giving you insight. I chose to read this book because I am not personally religious, and have always found religion something I personally do not choose to devote my life to. Reading from the point of view of someone who does choose to devote their life to faith is far more interesting than I had expected. This gives you pros and cons of your actions, warnings of the future and how your actions may affect you. It warns humanity of its loss of faith, of how its meandering through life deviates from God's views. In a way, this book teaches us not that religion is absolute, but that humanity is absolute, and to treat each other in ways that God has not foretold or suggested is to deny our very humanity itself. It warns us of sin, it congratulates us on things done according to the lord. This book could be classified as self-help from a religious standpoint. Again, from the point of view of someone who doesn't share the author's faith, this is an extremely interesting read. Anthony speaks from his heart and his faith, and his faith is strong. He truly believes in the ways of his religion and in that way he wishes to share his faith, and share his humanity.

book4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpiThis was a unique book to read because of the way it was formatted in the style of poem readings. I like the "I" outline poems. It was as if Jesus was speaking directly to you. The poems, however, are very, very, lengthy and it could be because the author wanted to stress the importance of the message within the poems. 
The poems alleges the thoughts of Jesus and God's purposes in regards to God's timeline and not man's. Patience will be needed in the reading of the poems as the lines and verses are very repetitive but again I, personally, believe this is done to stress the importance of the messages in the poems. If you keep reading then you will get a better insight to the poem's messages and their true meanings.
The poems, also, express the relationship or non-relationship between God and his goodness and Satan and his sinfulness. One of my favorite sections of the book was the end-time specialty poems. I found this section very enlightening. I especially liked reading the "End-time passion of the Lord" poems. End-time prophecies are mentioned, poems in regards to children and God's thoughts pertaining to endtime-prophecies. Do read the beauty of the morning poems it will make you feel appreciation for the morning time and the beauty in it. 
I feel the poems main theme were to relate Jesus's messages according to the author, Anthony Eddy and how he feels they pertain to all of mankind as well as establish who Jesus really was and his overall purpose for being on earth.

book4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpiThis collection of books by Eddy are presented in poem form, which, and I've said this in another review, makes it easier for the reader to read. At first I was confused with the format, but once I got into the roll of reading, it became clear and I actually prefer the way this is written to other books.
The way each stanza begins with the same phrase as in the title is an effective way to remind readers what it's about and show that it's important. However, sometime it can get repetitive. However, I like how the information is listed in a sort of bullet point format. Eddy manages to incorporate many different formats to form his own style! It must have taken a long time to learn how to use it properly and I know from experience that it's almost a chore to try and set the format Eddy uses in Microsoft Word.
Now onto the actual writing. There are some powerful words, similes and metaphors used in this book. The writing is full of contrast, which can sometimes appear too much but it is done beautifully in this book.
Again, like in the other review, I'd recommend you to write either scribe or writer, but not both and certainly not with brackets. If the person reading this book is clever enough to understand the complicated words, then they'll be clever enough to understand what scribe or writer means on its own.
It's quite hard to find religious books like these. These are short, and to the point without any unnecessary gibberish. I'd even recommend this to people who aren't religious, since it's easy to understand and comprehend.
Good luck!

Gbook4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpiod Speaks to Man in The End-time by Anthony A. Eddy is a very interesting book, it’s almost like the Bible. You may call it the author’s version of The Bible. Editing is sort of perfect, with almost no grammatical or punctuation errors. Although there is no plot, no characters, I like the way the book has been written.
It is, however, appealing to only those of us who are very strong believers. Most of the people don’t have enough patience to sit through the book or the depth of philosophy to understand it. The writer is professing his beliefs through the book, hence, the readers form a narrow group, so I’ll have o be watchful while recommending it, since you can’t tell everyone to go and check it out.
The format is unique, and content is inspiring. It gives you superb insights, a new way to see things. As I said earlier, for a person who is religious, the book is awesome. But for a non believer or a not so strong believer, the book holds low charms.
The book teaches us not that religion is as important as humanity, and that we should treat each other in ways that the lord wants us to. The book is almost a self help, and an inspiration, but from a religious standpoint.
The style of poems is unique and charming. It feels as if God Himself is talking to you. That’s the part I loved the most about the book.
Good luck!

This ibook4Frontcover-paperback113x173x150dpis quite an intriguing book. It is not like the traditional stories with characters and a story line. It is different. In terms of contents, it is great, full of warnings about many different subjects, all related to how God expect us to behave in different contexts. The format is different of what you would expect from a traditional writing. It remind me poetry style, but with some special particularities. This is a book that you do not read in one sit, but read a topic per day, savoring its message. And although the format might be difficult to read, the message is crystal clear. We should stay away from sin and be prepared for the return of Christ at the end of times, keeping our faith strong.
At the introduction he claims that the calls he describe in the book are not of his own writing, but should have the words "And I hear The Lord Jesus saying..." denoting that part of the text is of a Divine origin. The author divides the topics (or calls) he addresses mostly in two pages sections for a total of 56 calls, like "Surroundings of Man", "Purity of My Bride", "Lack of Faith", "My People", etc.
I recommend this book to all Christians that wants a boost of confidence that they are in the correct path for their salvation. The author shares his views and his solid faith and we should praise him for that! I would give this book a 3.5 to 4 stars (out of 5) and I would not mind at all paying for this book something up to US$ 4.99.
Inkspand.com was kind enough to provide this book for me for reviewing and I was not requested to provide a positive review. Opinions expressed here are my own.
