The Vision A Two-in-one Volume Of The Final Quest And The Call

Book Description

The Final Quest and The Call have become modern classics, selling more than a million copies. Now both books are available in this value-priced omnibus edition.

In The Final Quest Rick Joyner writes about visions and prophetic experiences that unfold the last battle between light and darkness. This book is a call for all Christians to take a stand for truth and righteousness in these troubled times.

The Call continues the message, offering a picture of the dawning of the day of the Lord and urging Christians to seize the opportunity to witness for Christ in the last days.

Wake-up Call.......2007-10-10

What a wake-up call to today's church! I can't count the number of times the descriptions raised my goose-bumps. We need to be aware that an enemy of the church does exist, that spiritual warfare is going on (whether we like the idea or not), and that a wise Christian will not bury his/her head in the sand. We need to develop wisdom, discipline & skill to fight well in the battles that WILL come our way. This book provides a lot of wisdom in an easy-to-read, easy-to-comprehend fashion - and the author is very honest about his own struggles and errors, and is not "preaching from a pedestal." HIGHLY recommended!

The truth about spiritual warfare.......2007-06-25

There's no other way for me to put it other than... the Vision really sheds light on to the whole spiritual warfare. Before reading this book spiritual warfare was a hard thing for me to grasp, but now I feel like I have a new and fresh understanding. This is a must-read. I personally had a hard time reading most Christian books, but this one is fast paced, fully of adventure and spiritual truths! You won't be disappointed.

The Vision A Two-in-one Volume Of The Final Quest And The Call.......2007-06-02

The best Christian book (after the Bible) I have EVER read (and I read many). If you have a hunger for God's depths, this book is a must. It is prophesy-inspired and yet incredibly Christ-centered. The Word and the Spirit are in balance here. It truly highlights the difference between condemnation and divine conviction. Every word is a bit of heaven and it makes your vision clearer; it helps see the world from God's perspective and reconsider many habitual patterns. The best is perhaps that on each page you would be compelled to stop and take some time to sit quietly, overwhelmed with repentance; you would experience the joy of freedom, letting go of the bondage of self-centeredness and self-deception, and crave for more conviction. This is not a book to read fast; its wisdom is not to be digested at once. I have found that my friends throughout all denominations are impressed with this book, including Protestants, Catholics and Greek Orthodox. It is very powerful indeed.
I also recommend "The Prophetic Ministry" by the same author.

Awesome, Deep, Could not put it down.......2007-01-24

This is a very unusual book. One you start reading it, it is very hard to stop. Just when you think there could not possibly be any more surprises, you encounter another one.

This book has incredible Christian spiritual insight. It is one of those books that I had to buy for others close to me, and this combination book of The Final Quest and The Call is definitely a good buy.

Another book Rick Joyner came out with is The Surpassing Greatness of His Power. I am reading that now. He had another followup book to these two called something like Prophecy in the 21st Century which I also read and loved.

But, these books are so awesome -- very symbolic and intensely enlightening and very deeply Biblical and Christian and helps us see how the full armor of God operates--the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, the sword of the spirit and the Gospel of Peace, and how these operate in the spirit as Christians fight a spiritual battle against the devil, sometimes climbing higher and higher and getting out of reach of various weapons of the enemy, but then some go back down into the battle again to rescue others and so on. There is no way I can do this book justice in this little review, but I very highly recommend it.

A true journey.......2007-01-19

This is the best sense of the spiritual battle that rages all around us I have ever encountered. If you want to learn the schemes of the evil one and how Christ counters so the Christians win, this is a must read. Revelation power to understand how to stand firm and get in closer realtionship with the Lord is seen trhough this author's eyes in ways most of us would miss. I enjoyed this gimplse into heaven.

Great book!.......2007-09-01

Think of a Spirit filled Lord of the Rings. This book is a vision about the Way, the Kingdom, and Spiritual warfare. It's awesome and it will pump you up.

I had to put it down numerous times while I read because my heart was wrecked.

Rick Joyner and MorningStar ministries helped build my Spiritual foundation and brought me into experiencing God the way He wants us to experience Him: on a deep, personal and radical level. This ministry is saturated in integrity and the power of God.

Perhaps Helpful, Perhaps Not.......2007-08-25

While I found this book encouraging sometimes, I must join in with those who are a bit skeptical. I am kind of wary because there seem to be people who classify it as 'life-changing.' If people just found it encouraging, or an interesting idea, or something like that, I may consider agreeing.

But it really seems that Joyner acts falsely humble, and comes across often as quite arrogant. I feel like those who don't really think about it will say, 'Oh yes! This is so life-changing!' This can be fine and good, unless what it suggests is wrong. Then it may be life-changing, but it is changing lives in the wrong direction. So I don't deny that people find it life-changing (they, of course, would know its impact on themselves better than anyone else).

I really do think it is headed in the wrong direction, particularly the levels of heaven. I believe that a central part of Christianity is that it is by grace that people have been saved. And it is by grace that we have any talents, gifts, or anything good. If Joyner really thinks he has something that makes him 'better' or get to be closer to the throne than others, why does he take credit for it? Anything redeemable that he has done in his life is by God's grace and through his God-given talents and abilities. But he seems to bypass this, and thinks he deserves more than others to be closer to God.

I finished this book but was quite discouraged afterwards. Some of the message was alright, but I was greatly discouraged at the thought of what it may do to people who accept anything that sounds good. And being able to do your own works to get yourself placed higher in his hierarchical heaven might sound good to people because, well, it is in their control. But I think this is terribly wrong and brings people away from the true message of grace.

Final Quest.......2007-05-07

Was not on time, but Amazon reimbursed me for my rushed shipping. The book was in great shape (new), and the service was good.

Allegory or Prophecy? Both?.......2007-05-07

There is a certain irony in that we will not know the accuracy of Joyner's "prophecy" until the end when we will neither care nor will it matter.

In the meantime, perhaps it is sufficient that it causes us to pause and evaluate our own walk, our own battle, and our own Lord.

Joyner cuts to the chase in his observations of the modern church - either asleep in the light or too light and frivolous to matter very much. The enemy of the brethren knows us well - our faults and failures which serve as vulnerabilities. He is wily and cunning. He uses the divisions of the church as a weapon lest the body finds common ground to unite and defeat him.

The author's views of heaven and the judgement seat are breath-taking. I believe Joyner has this right, too. We will all be laid bare before the Lord and grateful for His grace and mercy. Heaven itself will be more awesome and glorious than we can know. It is not strange that the saints of old look forward to the victories of today's believers: Hebrews 11 and 12 say so.

The book is an inspiration to the believer and an encouragement to "put on the whole armor of God" each day and contend for the faith. Speaking the truth in love is the believer's greatest responsibility, highest calling, and reasonable service. The Father's love is the greatest gift and power.

Allegory or prophecy? We'll see more clearly when we get home.

A Life-Changing Book!!!.......2007-05-07

This book opened my eyes to a whole new dimension of reality in Christ.
It's a must-read book for every Christian.

Book Description

While both the Republic and the Separatists have suffered staggering losses during the Clone Wars, nothing could have prepared them for the battle they face on the desert world of Saleucami. Beneath the surface of this Outer Rim planet, the Dark Jedi Sora Bulq has begun cloning an army of Morgukai assassins. Unwilling to leave this grave new threat unchecked, the Jedi and their armies soon find themselves entrenched in a five-month siege. Now, time and resources have run out, and it's up to a crack team of Jedi, led by Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura, to infiltrate the Separatist base.

Customer Reviews:

Vos' Conflict.......2007-06-09

This volume concludes Quinlan Vos' "undercover" mission. If you have missed a few volumes you definitely do not want to read this one before you finish the others. I thought this was an incredible story and I was surprised by the events more than I expected. I don't really want to spoil the story because if you've been following the series this has some big ones.

Excellent magazine!.......2007-05-14

You should have this collection, it is very good, great drawings, great comic magazine!

Solid Story.......2006-07-04

I was starting to wonder if they were ever going to wrap up Voss' story. I found it very compelling and great continuity. I was waiting for the payoff on the Vos story line. I also like how it leaves the future open for more of his story. The story arc ended nicely. I would recommend this especially at the low price of Amazon. Worth the read!

Clone Wars Vol. 8.......2006-06-04

To pewface this review, the Vos story line has intrested me, but never really captured me. I liked the idea of having a Jedi who was so close to the dark side, that he was endangered to losing it all. And Vos is a perect example. In previous Volumes it has never been clear where he stood, and this volume resolves it. I was always more intrested in Obi Wan and Anakin, but the conclusion of Vos was a good one.

However the general flow was not quite as well done as in previous volumes. This had a slow begining, and then picked up. In previous volumes the begining grabbed me and kept me tuned in for the rest of the volume. Tholme was a great charcter in my eyes. They did a excellent job with the Master and Appertence in this volume.

There where somethings that seemed a bit off for me though. Certain Charcters were intorduced that I didnt feel I got a chance to know. The two largest would be Akku Sell and Bok. Akku was totaly new, and I didnt get to know hom. Bok would seem to be an older Ccharcter, but I don't remember him in the previous volumes, so eitehr I missed him before, or he was in another storyline outside of the Clone Wars.

Either way it was a good volume. 4/5 Stars

An answer for N. Wells..........2006-04-16

N. Wells at the end of his review said "I hear there is a 9th volume coming out, not sure how much more there is to tell in this series though."

The 9th and final volume of the CLONE WARS series of the STAR WARS REPUBLIC comic line will be called ENDGAME, and it means basically what you think it might. It includes the last 5 issues of the REPUBLIC line plus one stand-alone issue. The action takes place during and after EP. III Revenge of the Sith. Strangely, the first two-part story takes place shortly after ROTS as the remaining surviving Jedi deal with the aftermath of Executive Order 66. The second 3-part story takes place during the Battle of Kashyyk in ROTS and deals with Vos' final conflict at which time Order 66 came down. And the final stand-alone issue called PURGE is what you think it means as Darth Vader hunts down the remaining Jedi, thus setting in the darkness that follows the rise of the Empire.

This last issue, well, the last of the 3-parter about Kashyyk was designed by George Lucas himself, so that which sets up the forth-coming live-action TV series. So characters that survive that story are sure to be found in the TV series.

The Final Showdown.......2006-03-11

Another great book. I am a new fan of the star wars books, expecially Jude Watson's series. I enjoyed this book, because it gave me a glimpse of what Anakin was like as a teenager, and his relationship to his friends. Even as a teen, it was obvious that Anakin was arrogant, but he was ahead of his peers in so many ways. This story focuses on a group of masters and their padawans being sent on a mission. The Jedi were stretched thin. The Jedi council decide to try an experimental accelerated Jedi Knight program. Of the padawans involved, Ferus Olin is chosen to be promoted first. This of course, sends Anakin into a rage. From that point on Anakin will harass and compete with Ferus on everything. Anakins friends will see how selfish he truly is. The ending is very sad. You feel sorry for all the padawans including Anakin.

The Force is once again with Jude Watson........2005-08-30

Wow! I LOVE this book! I liked how on Korriban you learn a little more about the sith and how it shows the power of "him". (the sith) I felt really bad for Anakin in the end, but I won't tell you what happens. Great book, I recomend it to everyone!

a sad book .......2005-05-19

it is a good book, but very sad. anakin loses his friend, tru.

I really enjoyed the book, but the end was incredibly sad........2004-12-31

The entire book I was tense and on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next, I was surprised around every corner on Korriban. Jude Watson must have researched alot for this one, because it went well with what I saw in Knights of the Old Republic, and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The tu'kata beats, sounded exactly like those in Kotor. The book starts out with Anakin working on Tru's lightsaber, and then they start talking about how much they hope they are on the team together to find Granta Omega. Darra walks in and says that their masters and Ferus are in with the Council, when they are called to join them. It turns out Ferus was chosen to be the first to test out a "Knight acceleration" program. Anakin is furious, of course, because he thinks he is better than Ferus. They are than told they are to capture Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor on the Sith world of Korriban. He becomes angry at Obi-Wan when they start talking and Anakin finds out that, in Anakin's words, Obi-Wan "voted" for Ferus. Once on Korriban, Anakin starts taunting Ferus and they turn the mission into a contest of which one of them acan capture Omega first.

Since it is a showdown, it has to leave to death. But unfortunately, towards the end one of the Padawans dies. In my opinion, this was probably the book with the sadest death, that Jude Watson has writen. The deaths of Tahl and Yaddle, were very sad also, but this one sorta tops those, partially because Anakin keeps repeating things that they said in past books. It was also one of the sadest because they were one of my favorite characters in the entire Star Wars saga. The thing that was really bothersome, was the fact that Anakin but a petty contest, before friendship, and lost everything and yet after a pang of guilt and sadness he didn't care, and was completely power hungery, Korriban had effected him greatly. Many things that caused what he lost was because of his arrogance, and his anger. The book was very well written, and really got into the Sith world. There was brief forshadowing in the beginning of who would die, but its hard to catch, especially when it appears later another will die, because of more forshadowing. It was a very good book to end the series with, though it leaves you wanting another one.

One of the best in the series........2004-12-31

I enjoyed this book a lot. When I heard about a Padawan dying, I had my suspecions, boy was I surprised. It does not turn out to be who you think it will be.
In this book we get to see how Anakin becomes influnced by the dark side. But you can't help feeling sorry for him when his world falls apart at the end.

The Torch and the Sword is the long-awaited sequel to The Final Quest and The Call. This book continues the message that began in The Final Quest and continued in The Call. It is a call to live the greatest adventure, for the noblest of purposes. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those who desire to live as true knights of the cross, refusing to retreat before the great darkness of our times. It is for those who will stand with courage and resolution for truth, righteousness, and justice, as messengers of the age to come. These are the ones who Enoch prophesied would come with power in the last days, and who are now awakening to their destiny.

Uplifting and Challenging!.......2007-09-04

This is the third in a series of books by Rick Joyner in which he had a series of visions where he was allowed to see The Church of Jesus Christ as God really see's it. Not as we see with smiles and fascades.
We see the Saints of God (the people who have asked Jesus personally into their lives) in an actual real live battle and we see Armies, Angels and Demons.
We see the body of Christ deeply divided and many struggling in fear, unbelief, unforgiveness, bitterness, sexual and many other sins and the saddest part of it is they don't even realise what is happening. They think this is their 'lot in life' and put up with it.
Then the Lord starts to restore His Church.
But not without severe opposition from both inside the Church and the World.
In the visions Rick himself makes many foolish mistakes which leave him open to attack and little by little he and we hopefully learn how to walk with God as He wants us to in love and faith.
If you liked 'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan (which was also given as a vision in a dream and has blessed millions world wide.) then you should like this too.
I recomend you read the other two books first being in order; 'The Final Quest' and 'The Call'.
All three books are excellently written too and with wondefull descriptions of Heaven and of our lovely Lord Jesus.
These would be great books for a new Christian as they could jerk the slack out of his life and help him press deeper into the Lord.
May God really bless you.

The final Quest and the call.......2007-04-24

I read these two books about 2 years ago;I was blessed by them both. I realize you must be ready and stable enough in the word of God to catch the revelation. I since then have given away my two books but was pleased to find out that they were still available. I am looking forward to reading The Torch and the sword. May God continue to write the vision and make it plain because those that have a ear will take heed. Mr.Joyner may God continue to bless you.

Requirement Reading for the End-Timers .......2007-01-22

Rick Joyner is always good to read.
His book has no redundancy; his logical flow is so natural.
He is surely a master of a biblical knowledge and history, and its experience and practice alike. Especially his emphasis on "humility" at the end of the book is so overwhelming and engaging and even awesome.
It is full of so many vivid imageries and powerful insights. I should say, "Strongly Recommended Book to Everybody, Especially to the End-Timers!"

Amazing.......2006-10-07

It's amazing to see how many great reviews this book got compared to the first book. How can people like this w/o liking the 1st one when this is part II of it?

Well I loved the 1st one so much I'll be getting this book as well. He is an amazing author & man of God.

Another great book the reveals truths about God.......2005-12-24

This is a must read for people who want to walk it the calling that God has given them. His revelation books have had a great impact on me. It has given me great understanding about the Bible, and has changed the way I think about Christianity.
The book is a combination of many visions the author had. The main vision depicts the Armies of God fighting the Armies of the Evil one. Many great insights are revealed by the way these armies fight, their tactics, what weapons they use, the mistakes they make, the opportunities they miss, etc. The vision continues with the author walking in the Judgment Hall of Heaven, meeting may past saints, and hearing their stories.
The Book, The Vision and also the Torch and the Sword, had a profound effect on me in these ways.
1. It has dramatically increased my faith in Jesus.
2. It has demolished any faith I had in Myself, Mankind, or Man's wisdom.
3. It has given me a sobering awareness of the Evil one's tactics and craftiness.
4. It has revealed many empowering and glorious resources of the Lord that I did not consider which has given me more Hope.
5. I started to see the overall picture of God's Plan. And different parts of the puzzle started fitting together in harmony, and I got answers to many of the Hard Questions of Christianity.
6. It has shown many of the Pitfalls and Traps that even the Seasoned, Mature Christians will fall into, and yet not even know they have fallen. The lessons were profound yet simple. They were they same lessons learned from the Bible, yet even I who have studied the bible have many times overlooked them. The Lord could not trust people with much anointing or power, until they learned the lessons.
7. It reveals a great deal about those who hate the book, fight against it, and think it is from the Devil. He meets many of those types of people in Heaven, and their stories radically change after hitting the Judgment Seat. You can hear the MP3 of the book at SpiritLessons dot com. Hope you enjoy.

Book Description

What is superstring theory and why is it important? Can superstrings offer the fulfilment of Einstein's lifelong dream of a Theory of Everything? Co-authored by Michio Kaku, one of the leading pioneers of superstrings, this is a thrilling account of the discoveries that have led scientists to the brightest new prospect in theoretical physics today. With all the excitement of a detective story, this book contains the newest ground-breaking research in physics, and offers a fascinating look at the scientific research that may make the impossible possible.

Customer Reviews:

Very interesting and within reach of ordinary folks like me..........2006-07-28

I really liked this book. It found it easier to understand (and less gee-whiz) than Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe (paperback and CD). Kaku and his co-writer presented a very clear description of what hyperspace would look like to four-dimensional creatures such as ourselves. (This was the first clear layman's description I have read.) I only wish I understood better the quantum mechanics that "vanquished" Newton's and Einstein's propositions about gravity in very small spaces; perhaps some drawings would have helped. In addition, perhaps a chart or diagram of basic sub-atomic particles would have helped.

Nevertheless, I was intrigued by the book. Thompson's co-writing makes it intelligible to lay persons such as myself. The one element that Kaku leaves out is whether string or superstring theory is "testable." In dimensions of the size of 10^-18 cm, perhaps we cannot really make testable predictions, as Greene asserts in his book and CD.

A Magnificent Books That Will Make You Think.......2006-04-18

This fascinating book will take you through the realm of cosmology, physics, and the world of mathematics. However, the book at times can be hard to understand because it uses very hard language and refers to several theories and scientist. It is necessary to have small background knowledge in physics and in many of the scientists and theories the book mentions. It mentions scientist such as Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, Hawkins, Newton, Maxwell, Feynman, Glashow, Nambu, and many more. The book mainly talks about the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics; however, it does mention several other theories too. It talks about Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's theories in detail; therefore, those theories are easy to follow. Nevertheless, once the book starts talking about all the theories that came in response to Quantum Mechanics and the Grand Unifying Theory the book becomes hard to follow. This book tells the history of how several theories have evolved and are being developed to create one theory that unites the four fundamental forces of the world. The four fundamental forces are electromagnetism, gravity, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. All these forces are very different, however, with the Superstring Theory; all these forces will be unified. I recommend this book because it will change you perception of the universe all everything that is around us. It will baffle your mind with new ideas that seem to be science fiction, yet are somewhat true. This book is also a great book to learn the basis of the theory of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and many more astonishing theories that have shaped the way we view space, time, and the world.

Fascinating book.......2006-02-07

This isn't Kaku's best book-its one of his earlier efforts and his writing skills have gotten quite a bit better since then. However I still recommend this book. At the time I read it, I was studying electrical engineering in college and one day I ran into a friend in the student union. He started talking about all this physics stuff he was reading and how it was blowing his mind. It was like he had been through a religious conversion. He promised to let me borrow the book and it was Kaku's Beyond Einstein. A very easy read, Kaku got me hooked on physics right away, exposing me to ideas like extra dimensions and grand unified theories of particle physics I had never heard of in my engineering studies. He follows the standard historical treatment, talking about Maxwell, Einstein and the development of quantum mechanics. While it is a bit "breezy", its thoroughly enjoyable reading filled with historical antecdotes and nice descriptions of Einsteins spacetime warps. Then after the big bang he heads into his favorite topic, talking about extra dimensions and string theory. I was so hooked by this I began buying up every pop physics book I could find and soon changed my major from electrical engineering to math/physics. After reading Kaku engineering actually seemed mundane. Anyway, like I said this isn't Kaku's best book because his writing style has matured and he writes a lot better now. But the book is a gem that I recommend to those interested in science.

A thought-provoking book.......2005-04-03

This was the first of Kaku's books that I read, and I enjoyed it a great deal. He has not written as many books as my other two favorite science writers, Gribbin and Davies, but Kaku is always very clear and produces fun reads.

Fuzzy!.......2004-01-14

This book reads well and it is easy to grasp, however there is little focusing on the various subjects especially string theory in general. Overall for the beginner and casual reader this is a good book.
