Customer Reviews

Accurate and Thrilling - Perfect Fiction Blend

This book is unbelievable. It really is that for the average reader. However, if you are anything like me, you will find this book thrilling, challenging and insightful. Lahaye has weaved together fiction, scientific facts, biblical prophecy and doctrine into a story that questions the fabric of evolution. After much research following the completion of this book, I learned that there is more evidence that supports the universal flood story of Noah than supports evolution. I also learned that the Earth may be 10,000 years young or less rather than billions of years old as determined by scientist (including geologist and eveolutionist) due to faulty procedures.

excellent read/listen

I listened to this book on CD in my car and made up car trips so I could keep listening. It is absolutely fascinating with wonderful christian themes and interesting details regarding noah's ark. It spurnend my own research into the ark. enjoy!

Number 2 is soooo much better

I know I said in my review of the first in the series, that I would not buy the second. I was pleasantly surprised. I picked it up when I noticed that is was co-authored by a different author. This book was so much better than the first. I loved all the details and the way the story captivated you and made you want to hike to Ararat!!! I hope the next installment is as thought provoking and exciting as this one was. You won't be disappointed. Entertainment and Education all in one---Bravo!!!

One of the best books I've read in a long time.

I liked this book far better than LaHaye's first one of the series (Babylon Rising). I thought the character development, storyline, and adventure all worked in sync with the whole of the book. His characters are all believable. LaHaye and Phillips do a great job of cutting to the chase with this book, making every paragraph worth reading. LaHaye and Phillips were able to rapidly paint the story in my imagination. I could see, touch, smell, hear, and feel the details of this story. Like the authors, like people all around the world, I too have long been curious to know what the Ararat Anomaly is. Is it a natural formation of something? Or is it a massive man-made structure encased in ice and snow? This is definitely one of the better books I've read in a long while. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you've enjoyed the fiction of LaHaye or Jenkins in the past, I recommend this book without hesitation. One caveat...for the sake of better understanding some of the main players in the second book, read Babylon Rising before you read The Secret on Ararat.

Very Inspiring

These two authors are the creator of The Left Behind Series. This particular book is the second book in the Babylon Rising series. Wonderful authors and very inspiring. The authors take you on an adventure to find the biblical artifact, Noah's Ark. I was on the edge of my seat. I could not stop reading. I laughed, I cried and I was terrified. I can not wait to read the third book in the series and I find myself wanting to buy the first book. It is definitely a must read for Christians and non-Christians alike.
