A friend of mine, professor of mideast studies at Georgetown, Bob Lieber, recently sent me a Foreign Policy article he penned. I think you’ll find his insights and analogies compelling. Go to:
Les: I just finished your book Generation Last. A few thoughts regarding it are: I learned a few things I had not known prior to reading the book about Israel and Islam. Your interpretation of some of the scriptures was unique. The conclusion of the book ended with the topic of will it get better or worse. You stated that it would get better for Christians of which I disagree. As the last days begin to overshadow us many Christians will be martyred, as a student of eschatology I feel this observation is fairly obvious. I’m not really sure on your view of the tribulation, but it appears that you believe Christians will be raptured prior to that. I do not hold that view. I feel there are many pitfalls to teaching that Christians will not undergo trials and hardships during the last days. Overall, there are many good points in your book, I just felt it was needed to mention the few points I have.
Be blessed in Yeshua HaMashia
Thanks for your encouragement David. I share your view actually. My newest book makes the point that there will be martyrs. Generation LIGHT is being published this week.
Dear Les, When I saw your endorsement for Israel, I felt we needed to connect again. Email me. I don’t yet have plans to visit the Westcoast of FL, but I will be definitely coming your way at least once before the end of the year.

We now live in the Raleigh, NC area. My brother, Ken, is a pastor in Sandpoint, ID and I visit him and preach around the area about once a year. Maybe we could connect on that end if not here. Thanks for the encouraging note.
