Disclaimer: Received this book free from the publisher but giving honest review.
This is a fun Christian end times book. It is a fun read if you like end times and fiction and have the spare time. But most people won't enjoy this book. It gets really cheesy, preachy, fake and phoney... just like you would expect from a "Christian" fictional movie.
Problems with this book:
- Bird that recites paragraph-long Bible poems (not even scripture!)
- The only 8 people born on Dec 21, 2012 all have a detailed "tattoo-shaped" "birthmark" but it is so detailed like a tatto that it could never be a birthmark
- One character gets "saved" and his salvation is SOOOO cheesy, you will die: he's thinking to himself logically, then suddenly stands up and says "I need to be baptised!" AFTER being an unbeliever all his life and having no real revelation or conversion experience
- The US president is the only man in the world with a holograph body that can run around the world beaming from one place to another like in Star Trek
- The main authors' story moves slowly through the book. Like maybe 1 week has passed for them. But months have passed for all the other characters. The time lines don't match up at all! P
- Character meets with the president of the USA to tell him the BIG NEWS... "the world looks like it is coming to an end. I can't tell you how I know this, but I just know it." The president asks him what he would suggest the president do. "I don't know. But I thought you should know this." HAHAHA... STUUUUPID.... Like the president would meet with anyone like that.
- Characters decypher the hidden code... using gemetra... PUH-LEASE!!!! PREDICTABLE...
- Evil president's angry emotions draw thousands of ravens to all land on the White House roof. CHEESY
- The sun is heating up the earth with solar flares, so the people start making suits.... coated with gold and silver so that the suits will deflect the sun's radiation... RIGHT. CHEESY and FAKE!
- Earth's magnetic poles really are reversing in the book!
- One character in the book is a 12 year old boy that is a genius, so they let him into college early. But wait... another character "discovers" the boy is really 36 years old! Why does he think the boy is 36? Because the boy is smart!!!!!!!! DUMB!!! But the boy always tells everyone that he is only 12. But when asked his birthdate, the boy says Dec 12, 2012, which would make him 36, because the book is set in 2048. So what kind of "smart" boy would think he is 12, when he knows he was born in 2012? haha... CHEESY...
The authors took Bible passages and plugged them into the pages of a story:
- 7 seals on a scroll
- Sea life just suddenly disappears and no scientists can find out how it all "vanished" CHEESY
- The sea water turns black.... OOOH... REALLY? CHEESE
- Character sees 4 GIANT horses (bigger than any real horses) - the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse?
This book is set in the future time of 2048, 36 years after the seven seals were broken to begin the age of the apocalypse in 2012.
ReplyDeleteIt follows the story of a historian named Paul Binder, who is the chosen one for the journey to the new earth. I do not want to get in to to much of the plot, I fear i might reveal to much of the book. It really is a book in which you learn the pieces of the story as you go.
