“In Seeds of Turmoil my friend Bryant Wright takes a long look back to
Abraham, carefully uncovering a decision Abraham made at a critical time
in his life and how it formed the basis for today’s Middle East conflict.”

“As one who has sat under Bryant Wright’s preaching for several years, I
have appreciated his desire to relate biblical teaching to our contemporary
situation and its historical roots. Seeds of Turmoil follows that pattern,
analyzing the current Arab-Israeli conflict against the backdrop of the
history of the Middle East and its roots in the events of the Old Testament.
Bryant helps us to see that, despite appearances, the world is not spinning
crazily out of control but is slowly realizing God’s plan for the nations. It is a
gripping saga which continues to unfold before our very eyes.”

“Bryant Wright has provided what so many of us have needed for so long: a
guide to an understanding of the Middle East conflict from a biblical rather
than political perspective. It is clear, concise, scholarly, and inspired.”

and host of “Good Eats”
“In these days of insecurity and crises that are often centered around the
Middle East, Seeds of Turmoil helps us deal with the many quandaries and
questions that arise as we sort through each day’s current events. Bryant’s
clarity in teaching God’s Word, reflected through history and happenings
of this present age, opens our eyes to Truth and gives deeper insight as
to the biblical meaning and origin of the problems. In spite of wars and
political conflicts that fill news headlines, his writings enlighten us to better
understand God’s sovereign purposes and plans.”

“Bryant’s approach to this complicated and often explosive issue is both
biblical and rational. Seeds of Turmoil is filled with scriptural admonitions
for everyday life. You will be doubly blessed by reading it.”

“If there has ever appeared to be an insoluble situation from the human
standpoint, it is the ongoing centuries-old crisis in the Middle East. As
one late statesman poignantly observed, some players in this drama ‘never
miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.’ Unlike many of the people
addressing the subject today, Bryant Wright brings a spotlight on the roots
of the conflict and not simply the fruit of it. Since Scripture reveals that
Jerusalem plays such a major role in the last days, every believer should have
an interest and the knowledge of the Seeds of Turmoil. Read it and reap!”

book on one of the greatest and most difficult problems of
our time and any time—the Middle East. From a historical, theological,
and eschatological perspective, you will find a very balanced, fair, and yet
to-the-point approach to this volatile section of the world. For those who
want to learn about the Middle East conflict from a past, present, and future
perspective, this book is a must-read.”

witnessed the passion he has for the land and the love he has for the people.
Additionally, his diligent study of both history and God’s Word makes this
a must-read for anyone seeking to understand a current world conflict by
understanding the past. One truth comes through loud and clear: no matter
how things appear, God is sovereign!”
