My Review

This
is a good novel giving a possible view of the future. It follows the
more recently made popular interpretation of biblical prophecy
including a secret rapture and following tribulation period. I like
Groot’s use of future technology to keep total control of those who
become Christians after the rapture. I also like having people use
the idea of aliens to explain the disappearance of people from earth
and the subsequent setting up for the Antichrist. I like the
insertion of Bible verses from time to time so readers can see the
Scripture upon which Groot bases her fiction. The main character,
Josh, was in Afghanistan and there is quite a bit of his experiences
there included in back story. I found it interesting some of the
weird teachings of the contemporary church are identified by Groot.
She also names Bible teachers she respects as part of the story.

I
really like that there is a clear presentation of the gospel
included. This would be a good book to give to those who do not
already have a saving faith. Christians who like the currently
popular view of the end times will like this book. One should
remember when reading this novel, however, that there have been other
interpretations of the end times throughout the centuries of
Christian history. Also, this is the first book in a trilogy so
readers should not expect a tidy ending.

My
rating 4/5 stars.
