Reading To Open One's Eyes: Untaught Mysteries of the Holy Bible by David Pinkston was an eye-opening experience that truly changed the way I view certain aspects of scripture. I wasn't expecting such a deep dive into the hidden layers of the Bible, and I'll admit, at first, I was a bit skeptical. But as I kept turning the pages, I realized how much Pinkston has put into not just understanding, but also unraveling the mysteries that many of us overlook in our usual readings of the Bible.

The book does exactly what it promises - it opens your eyes. Pinkston addresses topics like Creation, the Trinity, and the role of Christ in a way that challenges traditional interpretations while remaining deeply grounded in scripture. He doesn't shy away from questioning long-standing doctrines, and that's what really resonated with me. It's clear from the start that Pinkston is not here to simply reiterate what's already been said in countless other books or sermons. He's digging deeper, looking for what's been overlooked or misunderstood - and that's something I truly appreciate.

What struck me most is the way Pinkston approaches prophecy. The way he explains the timeline of Jesus' arrival and departure, and the role of the "prince of the world," gave me a new understanding of things I've read about for years. He uses scripture to pull everything into a cohesive narrative, and even when some of his conclusions are challenging or controversial, he backs them up with clear, thoughtful reasoning. It's not the kind of book that you can just read passively. It made me stop and think about things I've taken for granted in my own faith.

But what really set this book apart for me is Pinkston's personal story. He's not just a theologian or a Bible scholar - he's someone who has lived a full, adventurous life and came to faith in a way the felt real and raw. His journey of discovering God, especially in his later years, made me feel like I wasn't alone in my struggles with faith. This isn't a book that tells you what to believe - it is a book that invites you to explore and discover the truth for yourself.

If you're someone who feels disconnected from traditional church teachings or if you've ever questioned the "official" interpretation of scripture, this book is for you. Pinkston offers a fresh perspective that doesn't just challenge what we know, but encourages us to go deeper and truly seek out God's truth. His honest, no-holds-barred approach might be uncomfortable at times, but it's exactly what I needed to hear.

In the end, To Open One's Eyes is more that just a book about theology. It's an invitation to embark on a journey of personal discovery and spiritual awakening. Pinkston doesn't want you to read the Bible - he wants you to see it. And for me that was a remarkable experience.

About The Author

David Pinkston was born in 1948 in Twin Falls, Idaho. He attended the University of Idaho 1966-1969 and then joined the Army, serving in the 10th Special Forces from1969-1972. He earned the status both US Army and German airborne. Completed both mountain and ski training

His career was entirely doing technical work. During the 1970's in Massachusetts, he worked with microwave frequency transmitters and receivers. He then moved to military communication equipment for aircraft, submarines, and missiles. In the early 1980's he became one of a very few that could maintain and repair to component level Tektronix, Fairchild, Teredyne, and Accutest equipment, all expensive integrated circuit testers. In the late 1980's and 1990's David lived in Idaho and became proficient programming databases, computers, building networks, programming routers, single handed he built and maintained and ran an ISP service during the late 1990's. In 2000 He moved to California where about one year later he began as a contractor to build and maintain the computer network for a small independent refinery in California. He grew in that company from a contractor to supervising the IT department building the entire network infrastructure. Working there still today at age 76 David has turned the corner and is winding down for retirement turning over his work to those younger than him.

During his life he flew, designed, built, and taught hang gliding. He has ridden motorcycles since he was a young boy and is not one to avoid tough crowds. He has enjoyed mountain climbing and the outdoors all his life. He enjoys life and enjoys God.

David came to Jesus Christ in 1993 but in a far different way than most. Not comfortable with any church David has over many years studied the Bible and been working on his own looking but not finding the right church. He then in part wrote this book, "To Open One's Eyes", to help those that feel uncomfortable with church but know God to understand that they are not alone. It shows the truth of the Holy Bible and opens some eyes to work that is needed on Christian Doctrine.

David's off time through most of his life was most often enjoying something dangerous. Insurance companies refused him life insurance, with one saying he would be dead by age forty. Being of an ornery nature, he figured he would show them and make to age fifty. Once he reached fifty, he went into denial until age fifty-six, when he realized many of his ancestors were long lived and he might have to support himself well into his 90's. He began preparing for a long life when at 60 he was in a serious motorcycle accident that broke his neck. This left him in a bit of a quandary as to was he going to live a long life or was he going to die sooner than natural, should he save and prepare or should he spend and enjoy. Well, he entered his seventies still wondering in a quandary until God led him to this book. And so here it is.
