Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ Review: I have read LAMB several times and the story is one that sticks with me, and continues to comfort and inspire. I love the authority with which the author exposes and condemns the evil and clearly upholds the meek and God fearing, whether they be rejected in society or functioning within a world which continues to startle them until they hear the call of the Lord. I think this book can be helpful to many lost on all spectrums, from the highest to the lowest, showing God's merciful love and His protection of His own and also informing many lost what they are connected with if they do not serve the Living God, and also that they too can turn to the Lord for forgiveness and salvation, and escape the wrath of judgement. The story has such delightful good guys and such despicable bad guys, that you absolutely love the victorious overcoming by the "lambs". The actual style of the writer is very refreshing in it's depth and poetry, treating all manner of spiritual insights with great dexterity and insight. I hope that the author writes a followup, such as LAMB II or something, the further adventures of our remnant. A must read, this one will hopefully wake up alot of the fence sitters. I'm sure that Satan hates this book, and the fact that it is published...it shows how evil evil is, and it also shows how impotent the evil is against God's sovereign plan.
Rating:  Summary: It IS Satanism! Review: I have this book and have read it! Enjoyed it very much! It is inciteful and really brings the truth of the enemies tactics to the forefront. God says in His word that we are to study the scriptures and not just rely on what we are told from the pulpit or media. This book really made me want to study Gods word more diligently.
Rating:  Summary: What is the truth? Review: If you believe the bible, the world does not like, and cannot accept, The Truth, plain and simple. Jesus is not of the world, just as His followers are not. Truth is persecuted. That's why for example, the world has really taken in "The Passion of the Christ". Number one in the box office, so much $$$$$$. It came from the world through Hollywood. It has some lies mixed in ("The Dolorous Passion of the Christ"- the movie's main motivation- totally unbiblical- check out Rev. 22:18) yet it is proclaimed as gospel truth. It is not from God. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? If you are a true seeker of Jesus Christ, you know that He is alive. You know that He will be returning in a time of great deceit. This book, Lamb, portrays this exactly, and is filled with the truth of God's love of the "little man"- the meek, the mournful, - the last shall be first. Not worthy, never perfect, but forgiven. The ones who will suffer persecution, the same as their Lord. The ones who will not be deceived. The ones who come out of the Lie. Let go of the world. Fully trust the Saviour. The ones who truly know that they are forgiven, and as the parable of the creditor tells us, those who have had more forgiven will love Him more. It is a story, a parable if you will. Not proclaimed as truth, as other big, worldy man-made productions dare to claim. No one has it right, not one is righteous. But some have more love than others. And some stand out and DIVIDE, as Jesus said His truth will do. This story is an outpouring of love from one who seeks to reach the lost, for the very reason that Jesus reaches out to us- to bring us out of this evil world through His forgiveness and into the kingdom of God. That is where we really are when we give ourselves to Him. Reading Lamb was quite encouraging, and is a humble labor of love. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Very Deep and Powerful! Review: Intriguing. That's the first word that came to mind, as I was reading several pages into the story. As I continued into chapters four and five intriguing, changed to, wow. As a writer I tend to look at the sentence structure and continuity of a story as I'm reading. I try to overlook things, but I can't. It's just in me to critique as I'm reading. I've often penned in changes in spelling and punctuation in various books I've read. Not that I'm perfect in my writing abilities, just ask my editors! But having read many books and written some of my own I've learned to look at things differently. So I would like to share now about the book "Lamb, by Zeph E. Daniel." There are many characters and plot lines going on at the same time in the book. At the beginning it is somewhat hard to follow. Once you are introduced to everyone though, the flow of the story takes over and you are plunged into the rapids on an exciting ride. You are first introduced to Officer Bauman. He is an overworked, unappreciated policeman with the LAPD. His story takes you to the street people of LA. He knows there is more to the homeless vagabonds than society gives them credit for. Next, there is Ted Gunderson. He is a pastor of a small church near LA. He knows there has to be more to a relationship with the Lord than what is commonly taught in the churches. The problem is, the majority of his church members don't agree with his "new" philosophy on life. Cal Wilson is a pilot for hire from the coast of Florida. He's led a hard life and often flew the wrong type of cargo for what he thought were the right reasons. For him, the government gives his reality an interesting twist. Or does it? Stephen J. Petchick is a mechanic and former prison inmate. He seems to be just your common run of the mill guy. Just the kind of man the Lord could use in a mighty way, if he is willing. Another character is Arles Dubailles. He's a successful man. Wants to provide for himself and his family. He's moving up the ladder of influence with all the right people. But, who is he really? Is he willing to sacrifice his family to continue up the ladder? These are just a handful of the many characters within "Lamb." A plethora of personalities combined into many individual adventures within the realities of their lives. What are their stories? What really goes on behind the scenes of the elite in this world? What is the truth? Will it be revealed? Zeph has an interesting style of writing. I can see the words he writes come from a very creative mind. Sometimes the paragraphs had run on sentences. But within the style of the story this seemed to fit. Like, there was much to be told but so little time. The overall writing style has a sense of urgency and wild abandonment. At first the reader sort of, stumbles along, trying to figure out the many characters and plot lines in the story. Even within that stumbling, you are drawn in, wanting to find out more. You are silently encouraged to want to learn more about each character. What story do they have to tell? How will events pan out for each of them? Who will survive? Who will die, if any? I found this book to be insightful, creative and intriguing. A definite breath of fresh air among the thousands of books published each year. I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves adventure, and mystery. Even though this story is fiction, the truth of our heavenly Father, Yahweh is shared throughout its pages.

Rating:  Summary: ENGLISH LIT 101 Review: Is anyone else tired of books that supposedly reveal something but are just long, boring diatribes from some would-be authors imagination that in the end say........nothing? My English Lit class would have a field day with this book, shredding it from cover to cover. Where is the technique, the writing style, a bit of art form? Show me a single lit device used in this whole book? I read this book as a favor to a friend. We are still friends after I gave him my opinion of the book and now he is taking a second look. From what he had said, I expected some wit and style and form. I think he was so hung up on the subject matter, that he didn't see the structure flaws until I pointed them out. As to the subject matter, I have studied it before I read this book. First in church, then on my own. I believe in The Lord Jesus Christ, believe in Him as my savior, know there is no other way for the forgiveness of sins except by the washing of His precious blood shed on Calvary's cruel cross. He is my redeemer, my Lord, my friend, my everything. I expect Him back soon, but have no use, and definitely no need, for the self-proclaimed prophets among us who think they are going to show all us dumb folk who carry a simple faith in Christ Jesus what it is really all about. They always go afield, always add to as well as subtract from the simple truths of the Bible. If you know the truth about what the Bible says about the endtimes, you will know what I am talking about. I think this book is supposed to read like a screenplay. Please don't let it be coming to a screen near me anytime soon!!!!!!!There are enough lousy movies out there as it is. This author is no Mel Gibson.
Rating:  Summary: LAMB - Just can't put it down! Review: LAMB is a compelling book about the raw human spirit. It reflects how man can really screw things up if his way is not the Lord Jesus Christ's way! LAMB's characters come to life. It's 3-D without the pictures! There is a character with which every reader can relate. The inner dialog of the character's shows the silent workings and struggles of the human spirit. The struggle of good and evil. BEWARE, even though LAMB is fictional it exposes a lot of truth: How evil looks good and how those "good looks" deceive many. In the end, it leaves the reader glad to know that God's grace is perfect and in His love we have Hope. LAMB's a must read! Just can't put it down!
Rating:  Summary: THIS IS A BETTER IDEA!!!!!!!! Review: Okay, you could buy Lamb and plunk down 20 hard earned dollars, and what will you get for your money? A book loaded with questionable theology, silly plot lines, long stretches where you will get bored, and have trouble remembering who all the many characters are and how they tie in together. Lamb is loooooonngg, and tiring, and way too choppily written to be enjoyable or easily understood. I have a feeling the author is attempting to write a screenplay here, and it does not succeed. If this book ever gets made into a movie, I will not waste more money by going to see it!!!! So what is my better idea? Take your $20.00 and go see The Passion by Mel Gibson instead. Here is a movie that will explain the sacrifice for sin made by the Lord Jesus Christ in a way you will never forget. Mel Gibson has taken the hatred of the unchristian world for making this movie, and trying to stay true to the Biblical account. I have the feeling Lamb was written by someone who was unsuccessful in Mel's world and is now trying to find a way to be artistic. He has not succeeded. The taste I had after reading Lamb was sour grapes.
Rating:  Summary: A must read for one-day-a-week christians Review: This is a ficitonal book with very plausible scenarios and characters showing how we do not battle against flesh but against principalities. (Eph. 6) It's so easy to live in this world and be a part of it; but christians are told not to be a part of it. This book shows us why. This book makes very real the ways that the "spirit" of the world can be operating in our everyday lives - especially in our churches. (1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.) The book in grounded in the truths of Scripture without being another dead Sunday morning sermon. I wish the sermons I hear would have me sitting on the edge of my seat as this book did. I wish the sermons I hear would be such a call to action as this book is. It's a wake up call - I've got to go put on the "whole armour of God", now. Michelle
