Dr. David Jeremiah is one of the best teachers of our time and he has penned one of the best apocalyptic fiction books I’ve ever read in Vanished. If you are a fan of Christian Apocalyptic Thrillers, this one is definitely for you.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I could hardly wait to read Vanished by Dr. David Jeremiah, whom I have followed for years as a Christian teacher and author, and I was not disappointed. The book is written to be enjoyed by Christian readers as well as secular, with a military foundation in characters. While the genre is speculative, it mirrors the very times we are experiencing now, in epidemics, political upheavals and human suffering. Dr. Jeremiah’s message is clear and urgent; time is short, today is the day of salvation. Vanished has a definite cliffhanger ending, and I anxiously await the next installment. While waiting, I will certainly read the book again, because it the midst of the story is much biblical knowledge to be gained, and hope for a new beginning.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

The situations that are depicted in this book could happen today in our world.

Major General John Haggerty and his team are racing against time, a new epidemic called the Dirty Dozen has broken out on the island of Heraklion in Greece and they are trying to contain it before it spreads further - then they get word that it has spread to Spoleto, Italy.

John asks his daughter Sonya to help translate as she knows Italian, they try to contain the virus there, but a person with known suceptibility to the virus has been let go and John and Sonya see him in a cave they are exploring.

Just then they hear a rumble and shaking noise, the cavern is being hit by an earthquake - Sonya is seriously hurt and John, a doctor tries to help the other wounded. They only have a days worth of water left...

VANISHED by DR DAVID JEREMIAH is a novel written by a well known Bible scholar, an expert in last days prophecy and Biblical truth, and is totally based on the Word of God. It is a wake up call as we see how the lawlessness described in the book lines up with that of today. The characters and their emotions are very well portrayed.
Major General John Haggerty of the United States army is the commander of the Potential Pandemis Task Force. There is a new type of corona virus in Europe and he is trying unsuccessfully to halt its progress. He takes his job very seriously. He is a man who is doing his best, in his own strength, to make life better for everyone. It is almost as though he is trying to make up for the way he failed his family. His executive officer and best friend, Caleb Johnson, is a committed Christian who lives his faith and is trying to get through to his troubled friend ……..
The story is about the choices we make, family dynamics and the battle between good and evil.
I cannot recommend this wonderful book strongly enough.
I was given a free vopy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this rebiew are completely my own.
