ABOUT THE BOOK

Is their world on the brink of obliteration?

Jason has it all—a great family and an exciting, successful career. But in a blink, it's all gone, and he struggles to find out why.

Mona Foster, the President of the United States, wrestles with Christian theology while trying to lead the country. When people around the world suddenly go missing, she finds herself wondering if what she believes is real or if science has an answer.

Prime Minister Ben-Zion looks for reality in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. When multitudes suddenly disappear, Ben-Zion starts wondering if the truths he reads in the Bible are true.

Marcus Junius is an ambitious, brilliant politician who uses chaos to seize power as millions scramble for answers in the face of tragedy, fear, and inexplicable loss of control.

Could this truly be the rapture foretold in the Bible?

 Using Bible Scripture and creative and vivid story telling, S.A. Jewell has woven an amazing story of fantastic proportions.

MY OPINION AND REVIEW

I Just finished reading this, absolutely, FANTASTIC book about the rapture of the church and the end times. If you've read the Left Behind series, then this book is right up your alley.  Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop until I finished it. And so I spent a few hours camped on my couch and absorbed the wonderful message that was unfolding as I swiped through page by page. 

I would like to say one thing, in between some of the powerful messages within the book, I had to stop, sit and reflect how wonderful our God is, and at one point, I just felt compelled to kneel and pray, and I felt such a great refreshing in my spirit.  A wonderful peace and joy that I hadn't felt in a while.  This wonderful book truly moved and touched my heart.

It is a powerful message of understanding the second coming of Christ and of the rapture of the church.  It depicts a beautiful picture of what a wonderful God we have.  Her characters are lifelike and believable, very relatable.  The whole premise of the book is how they must face their intense fear as they struggle and face the upcoming disasters and horrors that continue to unfold around them.  It's a fight for survival in a world of intense hatred of those who believe in Jesus Christ.  The world is in utter chaos and despair and a looming insurmountable evil growing in the embodiment of the Antichrist.  It depicts a frightening reality of what is to come, for those who do not believe.  A masterpiece beautifully written to encourage hope and joy.

Cross Shadow by Andrew Huff Book Tour and Giveaway

I received a free copy of the following book from Kregel Publications in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the book:

All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid it.

Former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor John Cross is busy caring for the small community of believers he ministers to in Virginia. Journalist Christine Lewis is busy with the demand for her talents from top news agencies in New York City. Neither has any time left for their relationship, which began eight months before when they paired up to prevent the detonation of a chemical bomb in the nation's capital.

But when Christine hears that her stepbrother has been arrested for murder in Texas, they team up again to discover the truth about the crime. Untangling a web of conspiracy, the couple finds themselves in the center of another dangerous situation-and in trouble far deeper than they expected.

With an assassin on the loose, a trusted colleague acting as a double agent, and unreliable artificial intelligence connected to mercenaries who have Cross on their hit list, these two may not get out of the Lone Star State alive.

MY REVIEW

The second installment of Cross Book series, did not disappoint, there is a lot of adrenaline, heart pounding action and intense fight scenes, it is very fast-paced, but the plot of the story is not lost, John Cross and Christine Lewis are swept into a situation where evil seems to be prevalent and thriving, while investigating  her step-brother's imprisonment.  The characters are very well developed and written, Andrew Huff has a way of writing that makes each character come to life and you feel their inner turmoils, doubt and sometimes pain.  I'd like to point out that this book can be read by all, it's good clean fun, while maintaining a Christian perspective.

This series has the feel of an action movie, you won't be disappointed and I'm looking forward to the next John Cross installment.
