::My Thoughts::
This is more of a study guide than anything. If you have questions about the Christian faith this could be a good book to answer both simple and complex questions. This guide contains 12 major lessons that can be completed under an hour, explanations of Christian views on each topic, real-life use of biblical truth, etc.
It provides core teachings which will challenge you whether you are a new believer, veteran believer, or if you are just looking for a stronger foundation in your faith.
Each lesson is easy to read, and the author includes personal experiences, thoughts, or beliefs. This makes it seem less of a "lecture" type novel, and more of a relatable read. While learning from this book you will find yourself more drawn in with the author's easy-going nature that is so clearly exposed within the pages.
Each chapter has insightful questions, answers, and even books to further your studies.
All in all I felt this was a really easy book to read, follow, and study. It would make a great study guide for yourself or for an entire church discussion group.
In the ever changing world there are many beliefs and many questions to be answered. What better way to further our knowledge that further our studies? And this is a really great book for that. I liked the way it was laid out, worded, simplified, and knowledgeable.
It pretty much applies to everyone whether you are Christian, non-believer, or even someone from another faith. This is a great to ask those questions that we are all curious about from time and again. "What is death?" "What is hell?" "What is heaven?" and those are just a few.
The author doesn't beat you down with a lecture to where you may find yourself judged or frustrated, but keeps things flowing smoothly so everyone can enjoy. To me this is a great way to get others to want to learn more about God's word and Christianity.

::From the back of the book::
Are You Prepared for What Is to Come?

We are living in uncertain times. As we watch society spiral downward, we cannot help but wonder, deep down, what is going to happen to our world.

R. Loren Sandford, internationally respected for his integrity, accuracy and insight, casts a poignant, detailed, biblically grounded prophetic vision for the future. Yet within his sober reflection, he reveals the heart of the Father and the hope of glory for the Body of Christ. With clarity and piercing biblical insight, he helps believers understand what is to come, giving you practical advice on how to prepare spiritually for the events that will unfold--and for your role in all of it.

::My Thoughts::
Our world is in a state of trouble. Times are more uncertain now than ever before, and things seem to be getting worse by the minute. A time when everyone throws caution to the wind, and does whatever they want to do with reckless abandon. This book not only points out visions of the coming days, but provides scripture to support the author's prophecies.
It was hard to put this book down, and it kept my full attention. It's not a book you want to read unless your ready to think because this book will make you think, pray, and crave more all at the same time. It will open your eyes to things you have often wondered yourself, or things you couldn't have even comprehended on your own. To put it mildly it will tingle your reader senses!
It's well researched with a blend of biblical history, personal experience, and eye-opening prophecies.
In this ever changing world this is a book I would recommend to any Christian to keep rooted in your faith. Once you get into reading you won't be able to put it down. This book will have any Christian or non-Christian examining their own personal relationship and thoughts on God. I loved the fact this isn't your typical read, but is something where as you read you feel as if you are included in a discussion that is invigorating. The author keeps with you the entire way through and I never felt lost or discouraged. I did find myself putting this book down often and just thinking before picking it back up and reading some more.
This book doesn't feel like a lecture, and is easy for any adult reader to understand. I am even going to recommend it for further reading to my church reading group so others can enjoy.
I love that this book is not just a book you can read, but study and discover your own insights which you may not have even thought you have. This book even points out that rather than point the finger at some individuals and condemn them, maybe we should just pray for them. They need prayer as well, and as all of us get from time to time maybe they are just a bit misguided.
I felt invigorated when I read this book, and I urge my fellow readers out there to give it a try. We do most definitely live in uncertain times. Nothing is certain in this world besides God, and this book will make you take a step back and take comfort in the fact that no matter what God is by our side. It will also have you taking a look at your self, and will definitely have you wanting to better yourself as a Christian.
This book prepares us of what is to come, and the author provides insightful advice as if you are talking to an old friend. We all have a role in this world, and we all have a role in what is yet to come. We cannot change the things that are to come, but we can be waiting to help any of those who may need it.

This book is available as Paperback & Kindle & Nook

The Seraph Seal book review

The Seraph Seal
By: Leonard Sweet & Lori Wagner
　
Set in the year 2048, this is an apocalyptic book. It is all about the end times as well as what will lead up to it. As natural disasters start happening everywhere, as knowledge increases and technology becomes a sort of super technology, and strange unexplained occurrences happen at every turn, the end of times is very near.
Paul Binder finds a letter under very unfortunate circumstances addressed to him. He eventually is asked to review an ancient Syrian manuscript, and there he meets Angela Matthews Krall. Together they try to uncover the secrets of the manuscripts, and as they unfold answers they start to question their own faith in a time where not many people are left with faith. It all starts with a key, and ends with life changing discoveries. Will they be able to help humankind and our civilization as we know it?

MY THOUGHTS:
I liked this book. I was a little confused at parts, especially because there isn’t really just one main character or even two, but rather many. It sort of flits back and forth between all of the main characters, but at the same time once you get into the novel it isn’t hard to distinguish. I thought this book would be about the same as The DaVinci Code, but it was totally different. There are many notes, a reference key, as well as drawings that help greatly understand any confusing terms throughout the book. While I think that a person with a more academic background would enjoy this book more, I think anyone can enjoy it and take something away from the experience. I was at the edge of my seat throughout the entire book, and the extra keys in the back helped me along the parts I found difficult to understand. But I found this book all in all to be an eye opener. While I don’t believe the world will end on a specific date it will happen one day, and there are certain things in this novel that we already have present in our current time. But I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoy apocalyptic novels. It will keep you turning the pages, and there are many points in this novel where I found it hard to put down. While enjoying this book I also learned quite a bit, and I would recommend it if you are interested in this type of novel.
