Summary: Extremely well done!
Comment: In his book, Last of the Giants, George Otis Jr. leads the reader deep into the heart of modern day Islam (within the context of the 1990's) This is a meticulously well documented account of the three forces that are moving in the earth today: Materialism, Hinduism and Islam. It is an important read not only to place the church today in a timeline of the book of Revelation, but to expose Western Christianity to the reality of the spirit realm and the nature of aggressive Islam. This book is not about demonizing Muslims. It is about equipping the praying church how to wage informed intercession. Although some of the details are dated, such as the fall of communism, that does not negate the insight relayed through the authors study. The first nine chapters are devoted to the author's in-depth research both historical and contemporary on Islam as a worldwide movement. The last two chapters tie together the belief that we are not waging war against flesh and blood but powers and principalities. Therefore, the author encourages the reader to respond to his message through prayer or missions to this unreached people group.

Summary: Want to understand more about Sept. 11? Read this book!
Comment: Actually, I would recommend reading Otis' The Twilight Labyrinth first, which gives the background on the roots of spiritual darkness, then read The Last of the Giants.
Both books were invaluable in helping me understand the true causes of the turmoil in Central Asia and the thinking that led to the events of September 11, 2001.
I can't give the book 5 stars for a couple of reasons. First, at times, Otis is not easy to read. Better editing would have helped. Secondly, Otis mentions the dangers of materialism in American society, but fails to elaborate much on this topic. Since materialism seems to be one of the reasons Muslims are so offended by the West, more information on the spiritual implications of materialism and consumerism would have added to the value of this book.

Summary: Please pick up another book if you want to learn about Islam
Comment: Please pick up another book if you're wanting to understand the interactions between Islam and Christianity. There are many good books for understanding about Islam, and other books for those who wish to love Muslims from a Christian perspective. This is not either. It displays poor scholarship and recapitulates classic Western stereotypes of Islam which hearken back to the crusades. I give it two stars because there is some helpful information present on spiritual mapping, but unfortunately to those unfamiliar with Islam and Muslim-Christian dialouge, they will be lead much further astray from a true understanding of the Middle East. I would recommend Muslims and Christians on the Emaeus Road by Dudley Woodberry as a very engaging and informative alternative.
