I am struggling with so many ideas. This book helped clarify some of them for me. Can't wait for the next installment.

McCullough takes the reader on an interesting journey through the middle east, laying the groundwork for his follow up In One Hour. McCullough goes into some considerable depth with his knowledge of scripture and also his knowledge of the various cultures encountered in this book, unpacking history in an accessible way whilst keeping pace with the narrative.

I find myself reviewing a book I would never normally read. I’m not into books on war. Raymond McCullough’s book is a fictional exploration of the topical middle-east. He first of all introduces us to an interesting combination of friends. He holds us in anticipation of the outcome of embryo romances, and then slowly leads us into war. Those who are curious about the days in which we live and who are open to the spiritual dimension, will, all the more, find this book interesting because of McCullough’s ‘Theological’ viewpoint expressed through one of the characters. There is enough to whet the appetite, regardless of your religious persuasion, motivating you to delve further into the subject and perhaps peruse the rest of his writings. He has researched well, and seems to enjoy detail. The book is written in a ‘readable’ style, but with all such books we need to stay awake to keep abreast of the ‘who’s who’ of its characters. The book is what it says on the tin. A fictional novel, with an underlying angle - he sincerely wishes us to get. Namely God Almighty’s plan for Israel. He cleverly crystallises, what could become a laborious description of war, battle and counter battle, he instead gives us a large part of what we need by using televised conversations to inform us of the war’s unfolding story. The forty - short - chaptered book although a little weak for the first few chapters, nevertheless finds its feet and gallops us into its world, where we remain curious to the end. The characters are believable, and if one was to supply the inevitable criticism that accompanies all books, it would be to nit-pick and highlight a minor: Like the written conversation in chapter 3 - where the abbreviations like ‘patrols n stuff’, ‘praying n stuff’, ‘people n all’ and the abbreviation of words like ‘prayin’, - all fine if it is an actual oral conversation, and thus suggestive of speech colloquialisms, but why use such abbreviations in an email? Still who really cares. Other minors are not worth mentioning. At this present time of tension and conflict in the Middle East - this is an interesting book and will appeal to those who love: "What if? Scenarios". Things change so quickly in this post-modern world, ’In Six Hours’ is by no means an impossible scenario. As a footnote I might add: we do well to heed the words of prophesy in light of which we must make decisions and inevitably take a stand. The author even deserves stars for effort alone .

An easy to read hard to put down book. Well researched and authentic. Having spent quite some time in middle East, Mr McCullough took me right back.

It is clear that the author has indeed undergone extensive research both Biblically and otherwise to draft the detailed commentaries within this book. Well done Ray. The end times is something I do not really dwell on however since I believe all future events is ordained and under the full control of our Heavenly Father. Dealing with the here and now is what matters to me. Your brother in Christ, Niall.

The presentation of the Bible Prophecies intermingled with a fictional account of how they played out was very interesting. I have started the 2nd book of the series.

It’s not that I don’t love stories or novels, but when I invest time to read, I usually opt for non-fiction from which I can learn something new or be mentored. However, Raymond McCullough’s novels are so underpinned with his impressive knowledge of Bible prophecy, that not only did I get a good novel, but I learned a lot in the process. And I didn’t have to be concerned about theological correctness - after all, it’s fiction. Best of both worlds. Will definitely be going back for more.

The author wrote a non-fiction book called The Whore and Her Mother: 9/11, Babylon and the Return of the King. He discovered there is a limited audience for such a straight-forward scholarly work. So now he’s trying to present the same ideas in a different format, a fictionalized format, in an attempt to intrigue and ‘wake up’ more people.

This is a riveting book. I couldn’t stop reading it. Raymond displays a very good knowledge of Israel, the Middle East and the End Times. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the End Times

Quick and exciting read! Definitely encourage you to pick this one up. It’s history and the Bible intertwined. You’ll not be disappointed!

An enthralling read which brings Israel and its citizens of various creeds to life in a futuristic tale, which describes the beginnings of fulfilment of biblical prophecies.

Fresh takes on Bible prophecies about Israel and "lsraelites" but for me not a page-turner. I needed perseverance to finish it.

A most interesting read. There is something for everyone. A small group of Gulf war veterans depart Afganistan and go their separate ways. This is prior to a Six-hour war in which Israel is attacked by all her enemies. Raymond’s work shows a balance between the big world wide picture and individual lives. It even has a bit of romance. Very thought provoking and worth the time to enjoy this.

Refreshingly human story about the confluence of four eclectic individuals’ lives hurtling towards an apocalyptic event horizon. An unconventional and refreshing ‘take’ and story-telling approach in a crowded genre.

The Six Hours story is told over a number of years. With war going on all around Israel, Raymond cleverly Ð yet sensitively Ð brings in Bible truths relating to the storyline. The character of Brandon, a soldier, is very much a Christian. He doesn’t push his faith on anyone, but is always ready to explain his beliefs to anyone who asks. There’s quite a revelation when he admits to being a Jew, and his colleagues are bewildered. I got the feeling that he must be so much stronger than me. Even with such terrible things going on all around him, his faith is unshakable.

Raymond McCullough throws you straight into the action while building a prophetic, insightful foundation that kept my heart pumping!

I liked (really liked) this book. Finished it and enthusiastically went to the Kindle store to get #2 only to find out that I couldn’t. Why offer volume one on Kindle but not the entire series? Tried to get it on the site recommended at the end of the book but a TOTAL hassle to try to read it from there. Such a shame... #1 was really good

Excellent characters, interesting insight into Israel and speculation about the overwhelming force of the surrounding nations, incredible but not necessarily unbelievable use of technology, and a page turning ending, mark this as an unusual and most unusual suggested solution to the seemingly endemic middle east crisis. Nuclear attacks on Israel, the US and other allies fail to respond, Israel is on it’s own, rockets are turned, cities abandoned, and the race is on for territories pledged centuries ago. Another look into the complexities and hatreds that have plagued the middle east for centuries --- well worth the time.

Very interesting. Wonder how much will come true.

If you believe in the prophecies of the Bible, this book is for you. In a very detailed way Mr. McCullough shows you why and how the Israelite tribes return to their roots, according to his interpretation.

Four young soldiers meet during a tour of Afghanistan & forge a bond despite religious and racial differences. Brandon "Doubting" Thomas, a black American with Igbo Nigerian roots, Micky Devlin, an American-Irish Catholic, Shaul Levine, a Jew and Ali, a Muslim. Brandon’s teaching about the End Times and the Lost Tribes of Israel gathering in Jerusalem lead all four men to go on their own personal quests for the truth, but what will they discover and who will they meet along the way?

This is a page-turner and yet it cannot be read in one sitting.
I learned so very much from this book, both current and biblical.
ItÕs a heads-up alert with a strong moral lesson. Highly recommended.

I found this to be a very interesting and thoughtful read. Did’nt always understand all of the Biblical implications, but didn’t sound good, either. The characters were all interesting as well. This story is mostly told in the Middle East where all the action is. The action being where 10 leaders (Iran, Iraq, SA, to name a few), join forces to wipe the State of Israel off the map. And that’s where I leave it. If you want to know more, read the book. Its well worth it. Can hardly wait for Book 2 to see what else happens.

You will learn more about the Middle East in the first few chapters of this book than you have ever known.
So well written and very descriptive, you actually think you’re there. Raymond has obvious knowledge of the areas he has written about as that and his passionate way of writing shine throughout. Must read book.
