This was an exciting novel about the author's perception of the end times. We all know they are coming and this is a great look at how they could be. I thoroughly enjoyed this story with some fear and trepidation as to what may be coming down in the future. We had better be ready physically and spiritually to withstand the end times because they will be brutal and we will need a close personal relationship with God to get through it all.

Another great installment to the series. Should be an eye opener for all, non believers & believers alike. The day we will be called to face our Lord & savior for each & everyone of us, will he know our name? Will we hear “ well done, my true and faithful servant”? These books put what have been written in the word, in a form that makes it easier to understand what has been promised...It’s not to late...yet, so look into your Spirit and open your mind, heart, eyes & ears to all the lord surrounds us with & pray for forgiveness &
Guidance in the journey.

While I still find the editing sadly lacking and the writing as though for simpletons, I really like the story and some of the insights.

This book can be read on it's own or with Times of Trouble. The scariest part of this book is that I can see it happening with the upcoming election. The author draws you into the story and never lets go. You can feel the pain of the characters and can picture yourself in the story.
We can only hope that the story doesn't play out in real life.

Keep them coming!

It's difficult to pick up any good ideas when the writing is so bad. A course in basic English is needed here. The way in which the look at our culture is put forth tends to accomplish the opposite of what appears to be intended. I am a Christian and would never recommend this book to anyone.

This book is a look into how events could unfold and progress in the future. It is quite a chilling read, and it opens up scenarios of how events could unfold.

The book was thought provoking. It is helpful to read the first two books in the series prior to reading this book.
