This series of books isn't going to interest everyone.
Firstly, these books are based upon the bible, what might happen if
Christ came and took his believers, and the non believers were left
behind.
It should be remembered although this book is christian based, the
characters are fictional.
The authors attempt to describe what they think would happen based
upon revelation the last book in the bible.
Rayford Steel is a pilate flying a 747 plane when some of his
passengers vanish. This happens all over the world. Rayford returns
home to find his wife and son have vanished.
This series gets pretty heavy, one world order is established, a
fictional politician from Romania becomes the supreme leader and
effectively the anti Christ.
Although I'm not a christian, and I don't attempt to condemn people
who are, I am finding these books interesting reading, even if I don't
agree with the authors take on all of these events.
Rayford, his daughter a journalist Buck Williams and a church leader
get together, commit themselves to Christ, and become a tribulation
force.
Be warned, this book deals with some hard subjects, the 2 witnesses
the book of revelation talks about are described, marriages,
abortions, executions without a fair trial, wars and plagues, earth
quakes and famines.
One thing I can say about this book, is the authors have at least
attempted to give a balanced view of what a one world order government
might do.
Both the christian and non christian view of the revelation events are
given fair stories, even if one can't agree with the views of the
authors at all times.
These books won't be for everyone, and believe it or not, children's
versions of the same series are also available.
I could only get these books from audible.com
There are 2 versions of the adult books done by different narrators,
so you do get a choice.
One thing I do admire is the courage of the authors. Some of the
things they write about would have been hard to deal with.
Whilst we may not agree on the authors take on the events, the detail
is excellent sometimes very gory.
Even from a non christian perspective, I am finding the books
interesting reading.
I like the fact the authors attempt to explain the scientific
communities take on the events they describe.
Again, this series of books will be a personal choice, but for those
of you looking for balanced views, you will at least find them here
even if the books are christian based.
I thought there were only 12 books in this series, turns out there is 13.
If you're not into reading biblical passages, this book won't be for
you. If you want to explore what the authors have to say, it's a good
read.
