What is so amazing about Hal Lindsey is if you have never read a book such as Late Great Planet Earth go read it now and see how amazing his phrophecy of the scriptures have been
I read Late Great when it first came out more than thirty years ago -- it is what got me interested in Biblical prophecy. Hal didn't hit it right in every case (he never intended to. He's not a prophet, he just said, it's possible THIS could happen or THIS could happen if trends continue as they are...projecting what ifs). He hit it more often than not and it's astonishing to read Late Great NOW.
I think that's the book I read...if that was out back in the mid to late 70's....I will have to go get that, again. I'm certain my daughters will also be interested in reading it.
During the Tsunami, and a couples times before that, my children, especially my oldest, expressed great concern that we may be living in the end times....my oldest stated (before December) she believes the Lord is coming soon.
