5 out of 5 stars A Must for GW Admin.......2004-12-08

This is definetely the book you must have if you administer a GroupWise system. I have gone to the Novell course and have all of the material from it, but I use this manual 99% of the time. There are a few items that I wish they went more in-depth on or explained a bit better, but over-all everything is detailed quite well...plus the book is already 948 pages long so I will cut them some slack.

4 out of 5 stars A must for the GW admin.......2003-12-20

You can probably get by with the Groupwise newsgroup and the TIDs on Novell's website to configure and maintain your GW system, but its much easier to have all the info you need in one place. I bungled a test install and then another one, and then got it right when I read the book and understood why I was doing what I was doing.

As for Novell's viability into the future, I'll stop buying and using Novell products when either I am dead or Novell is dead and not before. Novell products aren't as simple to set up as MS, but they are far more functional, robust, scalable and stable than any of the swill that the beast of Redmond pumps out.

Buy Netware. Buy Groupwise, and buy the guides. Fire your MSCE's and hire CNEs.

1 out of 5 stars David Wilkerson has totally misrepresented a loving, merciful, and graceful God...........2005-08-14


God is a good God! He isn't mad at us. He not only loves us, He likes us! He will never leave us nor forsake us, no matter how badly we miss it. His love is unconditional. His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!

These are radical statements! They go contrary to the typical Christian teaching concerning God. Usually God is represented as stern, angry, and ready to get us for the slightest misstep. This leads to conclusions and attitudes about God that hinder an intimate relationship with Him.

There are reasons for the Lord being represented harshly. In the Old Testament, the Lord vented His anger and judgment often and in devastating ways. There was Noah's flood; the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; a death angel killed all the first born of Egypt in one night; an angel killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night; and on and on the list goes. There is no doubt our God is a holy God who hates sin and demands justice.

But there is also the portrait of God that Jesus painted through His teachings and actions. He showed mercy on the worst of sinners. He associated with publicans and harlots. The only people to receive His harsh rebukes were religious hypocrites. And His ultimate action of dying for our sins proved beyond any doubt that He came to save, not condemn the world.

How does this fit with the Old Testament view of the harshness and severity of God? Is God schizophrenic? Does He sometimes love us and other times hate us? How can we have a healthy relationship with someone who changes His moods frequently?

These are questions that present a dilemma keeping many people at arm's length from the Lord. The vast majority of people KNOW there is a God. They just don't know how to relate to Him. They are confused because there have been confusing signals sent to them, often by the church.

A minister will say that it was the Lord who sovereignly killed a baby and in the next breath ask if anyone wants to serve this GOOD GOD. We are told that God won't answer the prayer of anyone in sin, yet we are told that we all sin. Where does that leave us?

Without a prayer!

There is a simple answer to these questions and a harmony between the wrath and mercy of God. God is not schizophrenic. There is one true nature of God clearly represented in the Word and that is LOVE! First John 4:8 says,

"...God is love."

He doesn't just love at times. Love is the nature of God! Jesus gave us the greatest representation of the true nature of God ever presented. But what about the harshness of God's judgments in the Old Testament? Many expect God's mercies when we do well, but what about when we sin?

God placed our sin on Jesus and punished Him in our place. God satisfied His own demands for justice, not by punishing us but by punishing His Son in our place. This wasn't a partial payment for our sins, conditional on our holiness being added to it. It was a total payment that leaves us with nothing to do except believe and receive or doubt and do without.

Jesus' payment for our sins forever changed our relationship with the Father. If Jesus had made His sacrifice for sins in the Old Testament, then we wouldn't have seen the wrath of God vented as recorded in the Old Testament scriptures.

Here's an example. In 2 Kings 1, Elijah called fire down from heaven and killed 102 soldiers who had come to arrest him. Jesus' disciples asked to do the same thing and cited Elijah as their example. Jesus rebuked them for even thinking about such an act, saying,

"Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them..." (Lk. 9:55-56)

Jesus rebuked His disciples for trying to follow Elijah's example. This shows that if Jesus had been present on the earth in His role as Messiah, Elijah's act of judgment wouldn't have happened.

There is a difference between the way God dealt with mankind under the Old Covenant and the way He deals with mankind under the New Covenant. One of the biggest problems in the church today is a failure to understand these differences. Before the sacrifice of Jesus there was harsh judgment. It wasn't because the Lord desired to punish us. His nature has always been love. But there was a price that had to be paid for sin, and until that price was paid by Jesus, He had to do something to restrain sin.

It's similar to the way we train our children. If you wait until your child is twenty years old and can comprehend exactly what you say before you begin disciplining him, you and the child will be in big trouble. A child has to be restrained from doing wrong from a very young age. At one or two years old, a child may not understand that it is the devil tempting him to take his sibling's toys. But he can understand, "If you do that again, you are going to get a spanking." He may not comprehend the issues of heaven and hell, but when the devil tempts him with covetousness, he will say "NO!" because of the fear of a spanking.

Likewise, before the new birth, the Lord restrained the amount of sin in the earth through enforcing the strict Old Testament law by harsh judgments. This put the fear of God in men, but. . .

"...fear has torment." (1 Jn. 4:18)

Although the amount of sin may have decreased by those under the law, the sin they did commit became more exceedingly sinful and damaging to their lives through the law (Rom. 7:8-13). Therefore, the law wasn't God's best, or first, way of dealing with sin. Prior to the time God gave the law through Moses, God didn't impute men's sins unto them. That means He wasn't holding men's sins against them or, as the word impute literally means, God wasn't putting men's sins on their account. Romans 5:13 says,

"Until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law."

Men were sinning, and that sin was destroying their lives. God didn't want to punish them. He was willing to show them mercy, in a sense on credit, looking forward to the sacrifice of His own Son for their sins. But men began to take the lack of God's judgment as approval.

This can be clearly seen with Cain and his descendants. Cain killed his brother Abel (Gen. 4). Instead of punishment, God extended mercy toward Cain, even putting a mark on his forehead to warn others that God was protecting him. But Cain's great-great-grandson, Lamech, interpreted this as approval of Cain's murder. Lamech killed a man in self-defense and therefore felt more justified in his killing than Cain was. He said,

"If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold." (Gen. 4:24)

God didn't say that. Lamech said that. Lamech was being presumptuous because of God's lack of punishment upon Cain. Therefore, mankind began to move so far away from a proper standard of holiness that if God had not intervened there wouldn't have been a virgin left from whom Jesus could've been born.

As Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 10:12,

"...but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise."

This has always been the case. If one gets by with sin, others will be emboldened to commit more sin. So, before the Lord could produce the new birth where He came to live within us and guide us through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, He placed external restraints on sin that even lost people could understand. "You sin and you die." That's the way it was. Not because that's the way God really wanted it to be, but sin had to be restrained until Jesus' atoning sacrifice could be made.

God's lack of punishment on sin had also led to a total loss of a true standard of right and wrong. Men compared themselves with others so often and for so long that no one knew what God originally intended. Something had to be done.

Therefore, God gave the law, but not because it was His best. He could have given the law to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when they first transgressed, but He waited 2000 years until the time of Moses. That's because the law had serious side effects of condemnation and guilt. God didn't want us to run from Him but to Him. However, sin was destroying the human race and had to have some restraint before Jesus came. That's why He gave the law.

The law wasn't God attempting to save mankind. It was God showing us that we could never measure up to His holy standard. It was to drive us away from self-righteousness and toward receiving the sacrifice of Jesus by faith. Yet, amazingly, the church has interpreted it in a completely opposite manner. Most Christians think the law is wonderful and something that we are obliged to comply with as much as possible. Not!

The law was given for two main purposes. It caused us to fear God's punishment on our sins, and therefore, to those who listened, it lessened the amount of sin in our lives, thereby diminishing Satan's in-roads. Second, it totally took away all hope of being saved by any virtue of our own. The law made everyone guilty before God with no hope of justice. We needed mercy.

Those were the main purposes of the law. It was not God's list of steps one through ten thousand of what you must do to be right with God. It was God's list of all you have done wrong, proving that you can never be right with God unless He provides another form of payment. It was not to set you free. The law was to bind and destroy you. It was a severe spanking for the whole human race to turn us from sin and self-salvation.




Luke 2:14 says,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will TOWARD MEN."

1 John 2:2,
"And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD."

Romans 2:4,
"knowing that it is the GOODNESS of God that leads man to repentence."


Before I learned these truths, I used to say that God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah if He didn't judge America, because we are just as deserving of judgment as they were. But now that I know the truth, I say, "If God does judge America, He will have to apologize to Jesus, because Jesus satisfied God's demands of justice."

1 out of 5 stars John the Baptist, the 'last' prophet........2003-10-09

America seems to be a favourite punching bag for a lot of writers. Yes there is more violence now than 20 years ago but that's not just in America, 'it's all over the world'.

And 'weather changes' are occuring 'globally' - so obviously it's not just America that's under God's wrath - if you assume that weather changes are God's judgment.

Our 'ozone layer' is fragmenting due to 'pollution' - man is wrecking the earth. Scientists and Environmentalists warned us 30 years ago this was going to happen if we didn't make serious changes then.

It's easy to put everything in a 'God's judgment basket' and just say 'God is mad so He's going to destroy the earth'. He is 'longsuffering' not 'wanting anyone to perish' - we on the otherhand are like John (apostle) when he said to Jesus 'call down fire from heaven and destroy them'.

I have difficulty with people who believe they are prophets, even one so well known and respected as David Wilkerson. "For all the law and the prophets prophesied until John". (Matt. 11:13) This is speaking about John the Baptist. 'The law' and 'the prophets' (Old Testament writings) prophesied 'until' meaning 'up to' John, meaning John was 'the last' prophet. It was John who 'introduced Jesus' to the world and after the Lord was revealed there was 'no need for any more prophets'. If we say we need more prophets we are actually saying that Jesus was not 'the fulfillment' of 'the law and the prophets' and we need 'more prophets' to show us the way.

If people go looking for prophets then anti-Christ will find a willing audience because he's going to be the best prophet ever because he will be able to explain the secrets of the ages, and the false prophet who introduces him will be able to perform amazing miracles. Be careful that you are not watching for the wrong things!!!

5 out of 5 stars Prophets Are Not Supposed to make you feel Good.......2002-08-30

David Wilkerson, unlike some reviewers of this book, and one in particular, get a little testy with his gloom and doom scenarios, but it isn't like he wants to do this. Like I've said in another review, if you don't like it, E-mail him, or attend his services at Times Square Church in New York City. Martinezboy obviously thought that a few "Holy Ghost stock tips or trader buys" might be more in line with what he was looking for, but maybe he ought to get his priorities in order. A prophet is not supposed to make you feel good. Examine the Scriptures and see if the prophets spoke to make you feel like a million bucks. Not John the Baptist, not Isaiah, not Jeremiah, and not the others. Read this with a discerning heart. It is powerful stuff, and unlike an earlier reviewer...I say buy this book and the Cross and the Switchblade, but don't fall in love with America's stock market or economy. "We seek a city to come. This earth is not our home." Is that negative thinking? Check out the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life.

5 out of 5 stars Ears to hear.......2002-08-20

I have no doubt that the Lord is speaking to us through this book. I can only pray that we have ears to hear. We have received a host of blessings in this nation, and have become so enamored by our prosperity and abundance that our hearts have grown cold to the things of God. Lord forgive us. I am grateful for faithful men of God like Pr. Wilkerson, who refuse to lie to us and tell us that salvation's enough - just eat, drink, be merry and mention my Son to your neighbors every now and then. We have been bought for a price, and we are no longer our own. The blood of Christ wasn't shed so we could live apathetically and plead it over our lukewarm efforts. It was poured out to restore us in our relationship with God, and to gain back our authority over the enemy. I pray a faithful remnant heeds the warnings in this book, rises to it's feet, and using our authority in Christ, valiantly fights the end-times battle in the heavenlies!

        5 out of 5 stars Economic Prosperity as a Prelude to Judgment.......2007-04-16

        Having had no new visions, no new dreams, nor special revelations relative to the end of our current age, David Wilkerson looks now to the lessons of history to demonstrate and conclude that the United States of America is ripe for imminent divine judgment characterized in this writing as a dramatic economic meltdown. Perhaps THE leading, Christian, prophetic voice of our time declares: "The American dream is going to turn into the American nightmare. It will occur suddenly--without warning--and no one will be able to explain how or why it happened" (back cover excerpt).

        In AMERICA'S LAST CALL, ON THE BRINK OF FINANCIAL HOLOCAUST (hereafter ALC) (Lindale, Texas: Wilkerson Trust Publications, 1998), the seer/author examines the writings of the Old Testament to discover that Israel and Judah, Sodom and Gomorrah, and even the antideluvians of Noah's day all evidenced a common condition as the prelude to their final destructions. The final, common condition that preceded God's destructive judgment upon these civilizations was economic "prosperity!" This insight may come as a shocking and unpleasant surprise to many Chrisian readers who often interpret material abundance, and prosperity in general, as a sign of God's unmixed blessing and sanctioned approval of them personally and our American society-at-large. This kind of response, Wilkerson argues, is exactly the same response that God's "chosen people" of Israel and Judah exhibited when informed by the prophets of their day that God was bringing judgment upon them. Many will find chapter eight ("Misreading the Times") especially unsettling precisely because the warning of calamitous upheaval and reversal of personal or national fortune is so nearly unthinkable to even the discerning Christian who has perhaps come to enjoy and rely upon the fruits of his earthly abundance more than is appropriate to a "child of God" destined for heaven.

        The prose of ALC is easily read and composed in the seer's usually compelling style. I highly recommend ALC be read by everyone concerned about "the economic signs of OUR times" and how they relate to God's coming judgment upon the United States of America. The message of this 141-page book is concisely contained in the following ten descriptively-titled chapters:

        1. America's Last Call
        2. The Crippling of the American Economy
        3. America has Crossed the Line
        4. Payday for the Shedding of the Blood of Innocents

According to the seer this condition has existed in the United States for nine years now and is due to give way at any time. His insight may come as a shocking and unanticipated surprise to many Christian readers who so often interpret material abundance, and prosperity in general, as a sign of God's unmixed blessing and sanctioned approval of them personally and our society-at-large.

          When the first 10 pages of a book on American politics mention Michael Stipe, Jann Wenner, Christian Slater, and the band Cracker, young readers have a right to be suspicious. Could this be yet another political spin artist talking down to them with pop-culture references?

          Yes and no. Rob Nelson does sometimes rely on an unfortunate Rock the Vote slickness to carry his message, but the ideas in Last Call carry a little more depth. If anything about the book appeals to young people, it will be the radical bent of the author's "commonsense solutions," any one of which would probably keep a political candidate from ever being elected to office. Nelson is a political activist and former leader of the Gen-X advocacy group Lead or Leave, which in 1994 asked members of Congress to pledge that they would quit office unless they had chopped the federal deficit in half by 1996. In Last Call, he asks for more systemic changes: throw everyone out of Congress and start again; eliminate prison terms for all nonviolent property offenses; pay off the national debt by establishing a national lottery. "If we want to put America back on track," he declares, "we need something of a shakeup." These are words that will appeal to any youthful idealist. --Maria Dolan

          2 out of 5 stars Correct diagnosis, naive prescriptions.......2005-08-06

          This book has not aged well. Many of the problems Nelson has identified are now much worse than when he wrote, but the "solutions" seem both oversimplified and impractical. The only problem I know really well is the overuse of prison. Here Nelson proposes solutions that are both politically impractical and practically impossible. There are moving stories here and there which are well used to illustrate his points, but there is also gratuitous obscenity and celebrity bashing. Oh, and a complete absence of reference notes. I suspect this book was dictated rather than written. For the writing and remedies I was tempted to give the book a single star, but it is still worth looking at for the concise cataloging of what is currently wrong with the country, most notably a decline in spirit and increasing class polarization.

          5 out of 5 stars Based on sample pages... :).......2002-11-19

          I am 24 and I just got done reading the 24 sample pages offered. Even though I have not read the book in its entirety I love what he has to say and I can't wait to read the rest. I think it is incredible and totally inspiring to the political youth of America today, even in 2002. Mind you this is an opinion totally based on the first 20 pages, and I can say I agree with him 100%. This book gets your attention and makes you want to see what's on the next page.

          5 out of 5 stars DO something..........2001-09-06

          It's interesting to see the negative reviews of this book and how they concentrate on painting a negative picture of the author rather than his message...a simple one really: Take accountability for the state we are in, and do something to change it.
          It would be nice if this book was taught to children as a model of how citizen involvement can change the system in a real way and not just give it lip-service. It would be nice if we intstilled a sense of concern for our political process instead of the overwhelming apathy and cynicism...it can and should be done.
          Read the book. Get angry. Do something

          1 out of 5 stars Television Is The Answer.......2001-01-31

          America is in trouble, and Rob Nelson has put his finger right on the problem: Justice Breyer doesn't know who Dick Van Dyke is. I think we can all agree that the country would be in a much better state if only our leaders would watch more television.

          Nelson's utopian vision of a TV-dominated government doesn't end there, of course. His profound insights on the solutions to America's problems include holding a convention to amend the Constitution hosted by such legal scholars as Larry King, Matt Lauer, Oprah, Maury Povich, Rosie O'Donnell, and Jerry Springer. After all, they never fail to bring out the best of America, right? I'm sure this vision of a talk show host-dominated political class has nothing at all to do with Nelson's own abortive career on Fox News.

          Nelson's book is full of the kind of impractical ideas (sure, we'll undertake a massive overhaul of the Constitution -- I'll see if Springer is available next week) and simplistic view of the very real problems we face indicate that he would do well to watch fewer reruns and try effecting change in the real world (not the MTV version, either).
