Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave

I've just finished reading "Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave". It is much acclaimed in homeschooling circles, among those who are seeking to develop a Christian worldview. To give a micro-review, I thought it was good but dated in it's predictions. Like books on Biblical prophecy, it was good when it stuck to the facts, but fell down when it tried to make application to our current world and predictions for the future. For example, the sections dealing with the future of Communism in the Soviet Union were way off. The book was written in 1990, so it is understandable that it should be somewhat dated, but a better approach would be to avoid making predictions. On the whole it is a short and easy to read discussion of the impact of the lives and thoughts of seven men who have shaped the world we live in. An intelligent and educated person should be aware of how these individuals have changed our society, often for the worse.
