Prophecy of Power (Book) - 9/7/2009 8:23:05 AM
Have you ever had something happen in your life that so affected you that you later chose a strange path because of what had happened? Jacob Droutman, in Prophecy of Power by Andrew Parker, has done just that! Parker's first book will soon be followed by The Doomsday Preachers! Trackle "Andrew Parker" today, so you'll be sure not to miss the climax to this thriller, although Prophecy of Power easily stands alone as a suspenseful mystery! Jacob Droutman is a rabbi who preaches at the synagogue in the Lower East Side of New York. When he was just ten, his older brother disappeared. Now, a young woman is using her knowledge of Jacob's life to help her--because her brother, along with two of his friends, had disappeared! Did Ayn also know that he was having questions regarding his own religion? Jacob's father had been a rabbi and he had automatically followed his footsteps. But he often wondered about all the other religions of the world. Even when he was young, he and his brother had snuck out and joined the crowds heading for a midnight mass and watched with wonder as Baby Jesus entered the celebration. Jacob had been devastated when his brother disappeared the very next year! It was Ayn who ensured that he learned of the lecture that was being given by Dr. Stewart Renton, entitled "Revelation Explained." Given that Jews did not accept the New Testament, Jacob had never even read Revelations, the last book of the Bible. Renton's talk was to explain how Revelations affected modern-day life. This was an opportunity for Jacob to learn more about this particular religion! And obviously somebody wanted him to attend. As Dr. Renton spoke, Jacob squirmed a little as he referred to the Nazi-inspired Holocaust as an illustration of what had been foretold in Revelations. He admitted to being intrigued by all that had been explained. But he became confused when, after the lecture, Ayn handed him a package to read. He learned that in March 2001, three Jewish students had announced they had found The Lost Tomb of Hebron, a tomb that would reveal secrets on future events. Having just learned much about the future from the lecture, Jacob eagerly read each page, only to discover that the discovery was later called a hoax and that the students had disappeared. John Duncan, the only American, had been declared "a danger to national and world security," according to this packet. John Duncan was Ayn's brother. Jacob is caught up into the investigation and tries to learn more, only to have his landlord murdered and his apartment searched. Although Jacob had not yet realized it, the papers that had been given to him had been stolen from a CIA agent! And the CIA is not the only ones that are watching Jacob, and following as he leaves New York to travel to Israel! Travel with Jacob as he visits Jerusalem and follows the same trail that the missing students followed. Read portions of Daniel's Prophecy. Share his joy of love with Ayn right before she is cruelly murdered, and, with a totally unexpected new partner, finds the tomb of Daniel, second son of David. Prophecy of Power by Andrew Parker, is an exciting thriller based upon religious prophecy. I am already looking forward to the next novel, The Doomsday Preachers! Highly recommended for thriller/adventure readers, those that love to follow the puzzle to the prize and those who enjoy matching religious prophecy with today's world! Ever thought who could be the next world power? Enjoy the possibilities in Prophecy of Power! G. A. Bixler

As a big fan of Dan Brown I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew's book. A fast paced thriller that I couldn't read quick enough.The subject of religion and all it's mystery's are always going to be a good source of storytelling.Well done Andrew

Prophecy of Power (Book) - 8/5/2009 4:27:27 AM
Just finished reading this great page turner.. This book deserves to be in the best-selling list, but unfortunately for unknown or debut authors it's hard to get amongst the big boys as i'm sure Andrew Parker is finding out. The main character is a jewish rabbi who questions his own religion, which is a strong topic in itself, anyway i found this book rattled along at a furious pace and you just wanted to flick the next page and i couldn't put it down. Sometimes it was hard to draw breath and maybe Andrew could have slowed down now and again to expand on the characters. I enjoyed this book very much and the ending left you wanting to know more which i don't know if deliberate by the author, but i'm certainly going to buy the next one! All in all a highly recommended 7 out of 10.

Yikes, the twilight zone here. Scareeee.

Will Israel attack Iran? (Article) - 11/25/2009 2:42:01 AM
Excellent Article, Andy. It would be a tough strike and may not be effective. My suggestion would be to accidentally hit the areas in question with 20 meg missiles. Accidents do happen, you know.

Will Israel attack Iran? (Article) - 11/24/2009 11:01:44 AM
I can not agree with Master Poet more. Big mistake for not attacking before and now, an even bigger mistake if they trust our Islamic, pretender in chief.

Will Israel attack Iran? (Article) - 11/24/2009 7:00:33 AM
Andy, Superb Article. Israel is in a quandary. They made a huge tactical error in not attacking Iran during the Bush years. Even if Obama gives the 'go ahead' to attack, there is no way Netanyahu can trust Surendercrat Obama. They will be on their own. We might as well get used to the idea of a Nuclear Iran!

Good Article, Andy. Non are so blind as those who will not see.

Fort Hood...who was to blame? (Article) - 11/17/2009 8:13:05 AM
The world laughs at us for our "political correctness" that will never call a thing what it really is or a person what they really are, or the reason for a bad deed for the real reason... Unless, of course, that "thing", "person" or "deed" goes to the right of their left slanted indoctrination. Very well written article, Andy.

Is President Obama failing on his promises? (Article) - 10/14/2009 4:59:16 AM
Andy, The warning signs were so blatantly apparent that this guy had and has a 'secret agenda'. It's not so secret anymore. And to my friend Mark, I'm no longer worried about socialism...I'm worried about Marxism!

Is President Obama failing on his promises? (Article) - 10/13/2009 2:06:50 PM
"Is President Obama failing on his promises?" Oh, yeah, Andy I would tend to agree with you 100% and as time goes on, he'll fail on other promises also/ But it's not his failed promises that bother me as much as his Socialistic intentions. Mark

Couldn't help but notice that myself. There does seem to be a problem there Andy.

Is Obama bringing the change people want? (Article) - 9/30/2009 10:48:44 AM
I have never seen such arrogance and disregard to and for the will of the people. Because of the Democrat majority, I think Obama thought he could waltz his fascist ideal's to fruition without much opposition. Luckily there are a few Democrat's 'for the people'! Excellent write!

Is Obama bringing the change people want? (Article) - 9/30/2009 7:29:46 AM
Andy, in the seventy-five years of my life, at least the years since I formed an interest in the politicks of my country, I have never seen us more divided and, though some think the divide is caused by prejudge, I truly think this could not be further from the truth. Obama does not have the knowledge nor the experience to run even the smallest of businesses let alone the auto industry, the economy, the future of the health care of the people of America to say nothing of the security of our country and thus the freedom and peace of the free world. Obama has aligned himself with radical, hate America people and feels that he must apologize to the world for what he, in his nave, ultra liberal thinking feels we are the source of the world's problems. My brother, who is a Democrat says that we've had other presidents that not everybody, or actually most people disagreed with and the country survived. I truly believe that Obama's inept bumbling will be the cause of the complete destruction of our country. Mark Lichterman

Scared of the President's reform on health? (Article) - 8/12/2009 7:39:56 PM
Well written� however, no one is scared of Health Care, we're scare of a government that is out of control and consistently lying to us The people protesting this catastrophe in the making are decent American citizens. The government and media are lying about them and wrongfully maligning them. These people, who unlike our non representatives, actually read what was being proposed. They are not burning American flags, or proudly waving the flags of those who were killing our soldiers like the left so many years ago. Nor are they being paid by Acorn or SEUI, or anyone else for that matter. We�re scared of a president who wants to spy on us and is asking our neighbors to become government informants. A president gathering information for an enemies list while smiling and saying he isn�t. We are scared of people that pass legislation they don�t even read. People who pay free lance writers to attack bloggers who are speaking out with the real facts. These are people we simply can not trust. They have to be told to stop doing what they are doing. They are destroying our health care insurance, not reforming it. Once they are removed from office, and replaced with competent honest and decent people, then we can start working together on fixing the things that are wrong with health care insurance. The only real urgency about this bill, was to get it passed before the American people found out what was really in it.

Islam...does it mean peace or war? (Article) - 6/26/2009 1:37:31 PM
You have written a provocative article, Mr. Parker. I can not wait to purchase "Prophecy of Power" ... to see where it all leads. Regards ... Reginald V. Johnson

Does Politics and Religion go hand in hand? (Article) - 5/28/2009 11:44:33 PM
An interesting and perennially relevant topic in human affairs. Let us ask then, what do religion and politics have in common? 1) They are both founded in belief (tick!) 2) The are both predicated on unprovable hypotheses and opinions (tick!) 3) They both result in attempts to control and direct human behavior in accordance with their philosophies, which often overlap. (tick!) 4) They both require rather more intuition than intellect of their practitioners.(tick!) And so on! Yes - these religion and its bastard offspring, politics, are indeed different sides of the same coin I guess. Now in contrast to these meager practices, we have the practice of science which works only with testable hypotheses and destroys illusions and lies through the objectivity and rigor of its method. And so, the power of science being evident and much admired by most rational people, both politics and religion attempt to co-opt its imprimatur of integrity for themselves, although religion tends often to shirk the truth revealed in the light of science and conceal itself under the nearest fairy cake, whilst politics tends to harness science for its own nefarious ends. (Tick!! Both politics and religion abuse science, possibly because it has succeeded so well where they have failed so miserably.)

Render unto Caesar what is Caeser. But that doesn't mean that the church can not tell us what doesn't not belong Caeser's.

What is your answer? I was waiting, but it never came. I don't think you have a right to my opinion until you have given yours.

An Epic Struggle Between Good and Evil... (Article) - 5/4/2009 4:11:43 PM
Prophecy as told in the Bible will be fulfilled. Satan will be bound after the climatic battle of Armegeddon for 1000 years then released for a while. Then he will be banished to the lake of fire for eternity with the antichrist and the false profit and the non-believers. You don't believe it? No problem-it's going to happen anyway.

Should Euthanasia become legal? (Article) - 4/1/2009 2:46:33 AM
Excellent article. Your strength is both rare and commendable. Whilst I do fully support individual rights in all respects over the wishes of the dull mass, we must be careful. People really do change their minds with time. That's my sole caveat. But no person, state or institution has the right to command an individual, 'Thou shalt live'.

Is it right or wrong to pursue stem cell research? (Article) - 3/16/2009 10:49:36 AM
God gave us a brain to persue all that is available to us. We would be stupid not to improve our medical knowledge to help mankind. This discovery is being presented to us, so research it until we understand it completely. More mysteries coming, don't turn your back on them.

Mankinds search for God... (Article) - 3/13/2009 8:45:01 AM
Deep down inside MOST humans is the desire to live in peace and tranquility, to laugh, prosper, an be in good health, to enjoy family and friends. The 10 commandments is a real guide to live by, and if we all did so, what a wonderful place this Earth Would be. No matter what your religion is or if you do not have one, how much better off we would be, in our disagreements with each other, if we practiced, "To Do No Harm."

Mankinds search for God... (Article) - 3/12/2009 10:20:47 AM
Inresting and well written. However, far more people died under communism then all of the religous wars in history combined. Oh.. and Darwin was a religous man up until his death and regretted that his theory was being used to deny God.
