From Booklist

Crouch, minister and the founder of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, overlays the Book of Revelations with information from Bible codes and comes up with some truly frightening scenarios. Following in the wake of Michael Drosnin's The Bible Code (1997), which posited that there are hidden messages in the Hebrew Scriptures, Crouch argues that the discovery of the codes confirms Christian theology and can be used to help decipher the prophecies of the Book of Revelations. (Decoding is a complicated, computer-intensive process, especially for those who don't read Hebrew.) Most of this tome is devoted to a dissection of Revelations in which Crouch explains the dark and dire things that will happen during Apocalypse. In this respect, the book is like many on the Last Days. However, linking this information with Bible codes that seem to verify the murky prophecies in Revelations will heighten interest for the target audience and perhaps draw in readers not normally attracted to the works of evangelical writers. Although Crouch implies that codes of this sort can be found only in the Bible, there are plenty of books and Internet sites that show just the opposite. Whether he's right or wrong, though, Crouch commands a huge audience through his Trinity Broadcasting Network, and that alone will ensure demand for his book. Ilene Cooper
