Seeds of Turmoil by Bryant Wright

I recently read another book from BookSneeze (as a disclaimer, according to some law thing, I’m under no obligation to give a positive review. So when I’m talking about these books, I’m talking how I legitly feel about them, okay? Okay. J) It was called “Seeds of Turmoil”. Seeds of Turmoil is a book that, on paper, is a good idea. But in writing, it is very hard to get into. The feeling through the book is a very charismatic feeling, very showy and flashy. It’s a good book, however, in that it delves into history and gives good discriptions. It attempts to explain the conflict in the Middle East using a Biblical perspective, which is both admirable and interesting. I honestly did enjoy the book once I got into it. But that’s where the issues lie- it took me a long, long time to actually get into the book. Bryant Wright opens with, “As a pastor, I’m always asked, ‘Bryant, why can’t these people get along?’” I’m paraphrasing, but it was like that- and it felt kind of, I don’t know. I didn’t enjoy the opening and if based only on that one sentence, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you add up all the parts of the whole, it is an intriguing book and if you are someone who enjoys history and stuff like that, you will enjoy this book. I think that I will give it 3 out of 5 stars. Anyway, I gotta go! Thanks! Bye! J
