Product Description
What if the Antichrist has already been revealed? The first book in a gripping new series by best-selling authors Sigmund Brouwer and Hank Hanegraaff explores the lives of Christians who struggle to survive and spread the Gospel during the climactic turbulence of "the last days." With the enemy seeking to decipher the code of John's letter, Revelation, and destroy the church, believers must cling to the hope Revelation provides as they face the greatest of all persecutions. In this spellbinding story of faith and fulfilled prophecy, readers discover the "code" of Revelation as they begin to see it through the eyes of the persecuted believers to whom it was written.

 A great read July 28, 2008
I was hesitant to read this, still having the bad taste in my mouth from trying to read the Left Behind series. This book, as well as its sequel The Last Sacrifice, are exciting reads that don't hit you over the head with the author's personal interpretations ever few lines.

I appreciated the historical detail provided in the book, and I found this book a refreshing change from both the current "Left Behind" hype and the historical revisionism of The DaVinci Code.
Just a good read... January 4, 2007

At minimum, it's a good read, whether or not you subscribe to the preterist's view of end-times. At max, it provides some insight into the preterist perspective of end-times as an alternative to the futurist perspective taken in the Left Behind series.
BTW: I'm not sure how many books are going to be in the series, but you should be forewarned that you'll want to read the next book when you finish this one. At the time of this post, I am only aware of this book (the first in the series) and "The Last Sacrifice" (the second).
 Interesting Premise, Bad Writing Style December 27, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Last Disciple is based on the idea that the antichrist has already come in the form of Nero and that many of the other end time prophecies were experienced around the AD 60's.
The historical and cultural information within the book is very interesting and really helps the reader to better understand Biblical times and how things were for early Christians.
In respect to the two points mentioned above I love this novel and for the new insights it helped me to have.
The downside for this novel is how it jumps back and forth between story lines and makes it hard to ever focus on a particular plot that you may care about. While I realize this is a frequent writing style for fictional novels, here it is done so often that you quickly forget who a character is and then are left scratching your head when the character comes back. Also, new characters come and go very quickly with little if any introduction also making this situation harder.
This book provides a lot of great information that most Christians will at least find interesting, but the writing style itself makes it hard to read and not very enjoyable.

Hank Hanegraaf's unigue style of filling in the blanks and creating back story is the perfect mix with Biblical history. He has long been an inpspiration to unleashing the imagination. I particularly enjoyed the mystery of The Last Disciple - not wanting to figure it out - just to see where Hank would take it, and me.
