While browsing through the markdowns section of Koorong today I spotted this book, "War on Terror" by Grant R Jeffrey. Looking for a chuckle, I picked it up and checked out the back cover. I was not disappointed. According to the jacket, 'key features' (yes, that's how it was described) include:

·Compelling evidence Iraq is behind Bin Laden’s attacks on America
·The war on terror against Iraq was prophesied by Jeremiah 2500 years ago
·The nations that support Islamic terror
·Why Islamic terrorists hate America, Israel, and Arab governments

blah blah blah. To read the rest of it check out the book's page on Amazon.

Unfortunately, despite Grant R Jeffrey styling himself as a "prophecy expert", it seems he is more of a Republican policy expert, and with the "compelling evidence" of Iraq being behind 9/11 now thoroughly debunked, I think his prophecies might be slightly off.

For those of you who wish to know more of Grant R Jeffrey's amazing powers of prophecy, I decided to do a little more checking and found he had previously written another prophecy book, "Millennium Meltdown: The 2000 Computer Crisis". The best bits from the official description:

"Grant Jeffrey's new prophecy blockbuster explores the potential of the disastrous Year 2000 computer meltdown that will set the stage for the rise of the world government of the Antichrist.
...
At midnight on December 31, 1999, millions of computers throughout the world will begin to crash.
...
This crisis may set the stage for the coming world government that was prophesied to arise in the last days. The Millennium Meltdown will document the extent of the computer collapse and how dramatically this will impact your life.
This book will outline practical strategies to protect your family from the greatest technological crisis in our lifetime."

It's quite amusing to read the Amazon reviews from before and after January 1, 2000. Strangely enough, the book is no longer for sale on Grant R Jeffrey's official site.

Although I considered laying down the $10 to take the War on Terror book home for a good laugh, I thought it really wasn't worth the cash.
