|TOP|Books like From 9/11 to 666: The Convergence of Current Events, Biblical Prophecy and the Vision of Islam, are relevant to today’s society where the Muslim world dominates the daily international headlines, while the U.S. struggles with its policy in light of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.

Written by Ralph W. Stice, veteran missionary to Muslims, journalist, college professor and pastor, From 9/11 to 666 combines careful research with extensive experience in the Islamic world to provide Christians with the background that they need to understand how contemporary events fit into God's eternal plan.

The book reveals detailed and insightful examination of Islam in a spirit of Christian love and concern, revealing the implications of Muslims' desire to reach all nations for Allah. It also notes many biblical passages that could presage the rise of an Islamic antichrist in the near future.

From 9/11 to 666 further aims to answer questions like ‘Why has God allowed the rise of Islamic fundamentalism?’, ‘What did the Iraqi invasion have to do with prophecy?’, ‘What does the price of oil have to do with the End Times?’, ‘What are Muslims really like?’, and ‘What two people are the world's 1.3 billion Muslims awaiting and how are they like the two figures in Revelation 13?’.

|AD|As a sought-after speaker, Rev. Stice has spoken in churches nationwide in the past two years on the theme of Islam and the End Times and has caught the eye of many Washington D.C. pundits! He served from 1994-1998 in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa, on a church planting project in an Islamic neighborhood, and then from 1999-2003 in an Arab ghetto outside of Paris, doing evangelism and discipleship. Before entering the mission field, Rev. Stice served as a pastor in the U.S. for five years and as assistant news editor at The Frederick (Md.) News-Post.

This unique background has enabled Ralph Stice to provide insight and provide predictions regarding world events. His predictions, such as the widespread riots in France in late 2005 and the victory of fundamentalist parties in elections in Iraq and the Palestinian territories, have even surprised government officials. Such prescience has led many readers to call Rev. Stice a "modern-day prophet".

Ralph Stice has spoken on Islam on three continents and he enjoys a widespread ministry in the U.S. while on an extended furlough to accommodate his wife's graduate studies in education. He serves as a primary professor at Nyack College DC and hopes to return to missions in the Islamic world in 2008. He is a native of the Washington, D.C. area and resides in Rockville, Md. An honours graduate in journalism at the University of South Carolina, he received his master's degree in missions at Columbia International University (S.C.). He did further studies at Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY, and is a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honour fraternity.
