ABOUT THE BOOK: Ryan Kates is a paranormal expert, TV host, and skeptic. He hosts News4th, a nationally popular cable show focused on UFOs, ghosts, and everything that goes bump in the night. Ryan is used to dealing with the weird and unexplainable, but when bizarre paranormal phenomena rock the planet he finds himself questioning his long-held views.
As these phenomena escalate, mass hysteria and political tensions begin to mount on a global scale. The world begins to spin out of control, and a former flame reenters Ryan’s life, bringing her family along for the ride. The pawns are moved into place, and Ryan must confront the ultimate evil on the world stage, culminating in a supernatural encounter far beyond his wildest dreams.
The Reluctant Disciple establishes a credible connection between End Times biblical prophecy and our society’s fascination with the paranormal, taking readers on a thrill ride they won’t soon forget.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jim O'Shea is a long-time resident of fly-over country and graduate of the University of Missouri in Columbia. He now spends his time crafting novels that examine the complex relationship between faith and science, stories designed to take believers and even doubters to places they may not have previously considered. This is Jim's second novel. Jim's next novels "Witness" and "Blood Sisters" are now available.
MY REVIEW: Do UFO's and ghosts aka demons exist? Absolutely, however, in this novel we get a very unique perspective on that synopsis. There has always been a fascination with the supernatural throughout the ages and this novel delves deep into that darkness.
This is a Christian novel, and some parts of this book will startle you, or even make you feel a bit afraid. However, the point must be made to understand the direction the author wants to take you. The tale is gripping, soaked with realism and anticipation.
After a few shocking and frightening moments, much to my relief, I finally began to understand that what I was reading was leading to the most wonderful revelation for the readers, the rapture of the church, but not as you all have would have expected it to happen, no spoilers, you'll have to find that out for yourselves. It is a viable interpretation of the end times. And when I came to the end of the story, I actually got goose-bumps, I began to reflect what I had just read, and all I could say was I began to talk to God.
This was a wonderful and well-written novel, and I look forward to purchasing more of Mr. O'Shea's books in the future.
