Description: Have you ever noticed how often we use the word time in our everday conversation? Not only are we acutely aware of the passage of time,but our speech is also littered with references to it: We kill and waste time. Time flies, or sometimes crawls. We refer to time in countless expressions and figures of speech.
In Interpreting the Times, Chuck Pierce tackles the subject of time, specifically as it relates to God and our relationship with Him, addressing such questions as:
*Is there a Creator who transcends and enters time to connect with His children so they efficiently walk in time?
*When we mess up in one season, can He make us capable of redeeming the times or buying back wasted time?
*Can He extend our horizon line and give us a glimpse of what will be in days ahead?
Pierce moves readers from viewing time as a philosophy or a curse to seeing it as a real gift from Gof, presenting a new reality of space, time, Spirit, and Truth as they advance through the pages.

Review Summary: Life Changing
Date: 2008-10-16
Details: I do not over estimate the power of words and the power of God's revelation.. This book gave me much conformation and topics on which
to meditate upon. I grew after reading this book, spiritually..and
naturally. I am looking forward to his next one on the topic of time.
Review Summary: I enjoyed this book
Date: 2008-06-14
Details: I had a very different opinion from the previous reviewer. I quite enjoyed this book. He does cross reference his other books, but in all fairness it should be pointed out that he references books from other authors as well.
The only recommendation I can make is that spiritual things should be savored, not swallowed whole (not to imply that's what the previous reviewer did!). There are a lot of scriptural references in the book, and I think it's worth meditating on them as well. The thing I would stress though is that no minister is for everyone. That said, I think this book is awesome!
Review Summary: I read it, but still don't know what it's about
Date: 2008-05-26
Details: This is the first time I've read a book by this author.
It's also the first time I've EVER given a poor review of ANYTHING.
I hate to do it, especially for a "Christian book", but it really was that bad.
Interpreting the Times intrigued me because I was recently reading the bible verse speaking of Redeeming the time.
This books description clinched the sale for me. It definitely described something I wanted to read.
The problem is, what is in the description and back cover isn't actually in the book at all!
It was a very difficult read to begin with.
Not that I didn't understand it, but because of the fact that the author made broad jumps from one subject to the next and these subjects rarely related to time. (or to each other)
There were also umpteen references to other works written by the same author. It was like reading a book with a commercial break every so often, to advertise another book.
There were alot of scriptures (nothing related to the subject of this book), alot of quotes from the authors other works, and alot of WORDS.
I'm an avid reader and have never seen someone able to put together a 218 page book that says absolutely nothing....until now.
