This book is a fictional, dystopian account of events that might occur in the book of Revelation in the Bible. The Apocalypse is a time when Christians are sent away to work camps, much as the Japanese and Jews were treated in the Holocaust. Bibles have been destroyed and only one page remains. The book reminds me a great deal of the Left Behind series.
The book is quite interesting and should be read with the certainty that it is purely fictional as no one knows for certain what will happen in the End Times or when Jesus will return. The book held my attention and made me want to read, especially in comparing it to what I personally believe about the End Times or what some might refer to as the Apocalypse.
I rate this book 5 stars and highly recommend it to those who enjoy dystopian novels and Christian fiction.
I received an ebook of this selection from netgalley and CWR Press in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

The book was off to a great start with a well-written background that vividly described what it would like to live at a time when religious wars have destroyed parts of the world and Christian families have been sent to jail-like areas to contain them and force them to work constantly. Most of the religious texts of the past have been destroyed. Outside of these areas, there are groups of people, good and bad, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and other religious groups.

From the point where a small group escapes from forced confinement, I have mixed emotions. This group encounters Christian leaders who believe they have answers that are basically wrong. Because of their lack of Bibles to go by, they have held onto sayings that have been altered by human error over the years. There were also the cult types and those who mixed several religions. While this is a Christian book, it seems as if the Muslims and Buddhists they encounter are better, kinder people than the Christians; although, the escapees do, for the most part, behave in Christian ways.

This group also appears to be very lucky. While you would expect more hardships and even a little excitement, they have it fairly easy. There aren’t any edge-of-your-seat passages. There were times when circumstances seemed quite unrealistic such as when even the roughest the raptors—one who controlled quite a bit of the wilderness territory, not only didn’t pose much of a threat, but helped them out.

I couldn’t connect with any of the characters. I did not dislike them, but I didn’t care about them either. The little details in books that cause a reader to care about the characters are absent.


I am giving this 2 stars, which means I think the book was ok. In my opinion, with some work, it could be very good.

So-So, nothing spectacular in my opinion. It might be something others would be drawn to, but not a bestseller in the making I don't believe.
