Fairy Tale Spotlight: Isaiah [Book Review]

"Isaiah" is the twenty-third book of the "Holy Bible," and it was written by King Hezekiah. It contains the words of the prophet Isaiah, which, in turn, ends up being the words of God himself. That alone makes this book far more relevant than the disappointing "Song of Solomon."

Even so, my main beef with this book is that it isn't a very interesting read. It drags quite a bit and just feels overly-long. But it isn't without its positives. For one, this is the first time you hear about Jesus. The prophecy of the coming Christ is first announced within this book, and it really was quite exciting to be reading it. It kind of hits you like a brick too. You never see it coming. God just sort of dumps it on you suddenly.

Much of the book concerns the dire fates of many of the nations who turned against God. None of them are good. It usually means the mass destruction of lives and property. Such comes from the anger of a jealous God.

The book also seems to deal with post-Revelations material, such as the "New Heaven and Earth" that is made at the end of this prolific story. This was fascinating to read about within the Old Testament.

I think that if I had to take one positive from this very long book, it would be that it sounded like I was listening to the voice of the Father Himself. He's a very angry God, and I kind of like Him that way. When things piss Him off, He makes Himself heard. I liked listen to Him rant. Good stuff. Not for everybody, but I always did favor the Father over the other two.

I think recommending this book is still in play for its content, but just be mindful that it is almost a 5 hour read. If you can't handle a 5 hour God-rant, then pass it up.
