Having grown up a Christian I was intrigued to read a book on what our beliefs of the end of the world would look like in a novel. What I found was a book that was well written, exciting, and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I must tip my hat to writer, Patience Prence, who takes on a troubling topic, but delivers a story that is accurate and powerful. The main character, Becky, comes across as the typical teenager who is just trying to survive her teenage years. Suddenly her life is turned upside down when the events of prophecy begin to unfold.
The story is terrific and the way it flows will keep the reader turning page after page to see how 'Becky' handles her situation. I enjoyed the way the author put me in 'Becky's' place. I could feel the emotion and sense of foreboding she was going through. This is truly a wonderful read that will keep believers as well as non-believers intrigued right up till the end.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys good stories that are well-written.

A fascinating, well thought out (and researched) end time narrative. The girl and her background read like a true story. And true to the biblical account, the real Christ will have the "scars" on his hands, to distinguish him from the pretenders. In this day and age, with false messiahs emerging on many fronts, the book provides an intriguing look into the apocalyptic mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Bible backed story of the end times., August 11, 2010

This review is from: SCARS: An Amazing End-Times Prophecy Novel (Paperback)

Every Christian should read Scars! And every Christian who reads it should give it to a non-Christian friend to read! A powerful view of what this world is quickly coming to. I loved how the author foot noted the verses of the Bible that supported the events taking place. The night I started reading Scars I had a "deceiver" at my front door trying to convert me to some very distorted and WRONG interpretation of verses. This book reminded me of how so many are and will be deceived. We must be ready!

This was a very fun read. For the critic who wrote the one star review, please note the genre: It's a novel. That means your comment that there is nothing new here is moot. The author is not claiming theological exposition, only telling a story. And a good one at that. Enjoy it! I did.

When I bought this book, I thought I'd be reading the same tired story line about the End Times. I was wrong!

Scars is a very powerful story about the prophecies of Revelation as seen through the eyes of a teenage girl. Patience Prence does a marvelous job of switching the scenes back and forth between what is the present state of mind and condition of Rebekah and the events which led to that situation. Both the characters and the plot are very well developed. Unlike other End Times novels, Scars does not get bogged down with in-depth theological discussions of the prophecies and, instead, presents the major points along with the consequences for the actions of the characters. Patience Prence succeeds in telling an exciting and emotionally moving story while also presenting a very believable interpretation of the events foretold in the book of Revelation.

Very well done! - Sheila Rae Myers, Author

What a great book! This book is from a teenagers point of veiw of the last days. Becky is in a camp awaiting trial while she flashes back to her proir life and how she became in this predicament. She is living in the end times during the Tribulation. How will she handle loosing family, friends, and trust at such a young age? I strongly suggest this book if you believe in the end times or if you’re just looking into it. I would not suggest the book to a child under 16. This is a mature read.

After you read the book, you cannot stop thinking about it, and pondering it. It stays in your memory a very long time. That is what I think makes a book or story excellent, no matter what the format. I may prefer other styles of writing than the one in this book, but the point is, this style worked fine, because I couldn't put the book down until I finished it. It is a fast and easy read, so it would appeal to a bigger audience, I suspect.

I really liked the addition of scripture, presenting the Biblical thought, and backing up the progression of the story. The subtleness of deceit was very believable and real in the storyline.

The recant by one character at the end of the book certainly did make me evaluate where I stand, as well. Some other reviewers also pointed to this as a great result of reading this work of fiction. I agree. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you must search your own heart after reading. It seems unavoidable.

I felt such a shared peace with the protagonist at the end of the book. That was awesome, and not sad. I definitely recommend this book. It is like getting another few pieces to the jigsaw puzzle of wisdom about what is happening in our world today.

This book was really interesting. I found myself getting into the story line and seeing everything as if it were a motion picture in my mind. Not all books are equipped with this luxury. I am Christian and have been fascinated with end time prophesy for quite some time now, and this book was definably a great read! I purchased it for my Kindle but I am going to buy my little sister a copy to read herself. I am not going to tell the story line, the description tells enough, if you ask me. The only thing that I want to add is that the end is not sad, like I read in a review here. It has a very good ending, in my opinion!

By the way, there are scriptures in the book to help you understand Biblical truths regarding the last days. I found that refreshing!

This is a must read for all Christians as well as non- Christians. It is a spell binding novel of end times with a strong reference to the Bible. As a Christian, I felt challenged as to the depths of my own faith, and how I would react in the face of death when told to deny Christ in order to live.

This is also a very timely novel as it seems to draw from events worldwide that are developing or already happening today.
This book may renew faith in Christians and offer faith and salvation to non-believers.

I will recommend this book to all my friends! It is well written and concise. I started reading it at about 6:00pm and finished it at 12:25am. I could not put it down! The world is experiencing birth pangs as Scripture said and I believe we are very close to the Rapture. Those who have not made a commitment of faith to Jesus and asked Him into their hearts, time is very short! The peace that surpasses all understanding will be yours....

AUTHOR PATIENCE PRENCE has written SCARS; An Amazing End Time Prophecy. It is a book that EVERY Human Being should read - regardless of his/her religion, color, national origin, a believer of God or a non-believer.

We have all been told this world will end. We do not know when, or really how it will end, but it is a widely accepted fact that it will end.

Author PATIENCE PRENCE has woven a scenario by creating REBEKAH SILVER as her protagonist. Rebekah is a typical sixteen years old High School student living in California. The product of a Jewish father and a Catholic mother, neither of whom are in daily practice of their religion. Rebekah is only a child, but she is soon faced with a life threatening challenge. The book brings awareness to many events happening in our world today, that could very well be reality in its' most horrific form. There is economic chaos, there are rebellions against many nation's governments, wars that seem to have no end and then there are the "Acts of God" in the form of natural disasters (e. g. Sunamis, earthquakes, volcanic erruptions), leaving millions of people dead and property damages in the billions of dollars.

In "SCARS; An Amazing End-Time Propecy", Author PATIENCE PRENCE quotes many Scriptures from the Bible (The King James Version), and eloquently combines them with what is happening in our world today, and through the eyes of Rebekah Silver leads her readers to a mind-expanding experience of what very well could be a "wake-up call" for Mankind, to proffer Truth and hope for mankind.

I was mesmerized in reading this book . . . scared? . . . not really, but I still see HOPE.

I highly recommend this very exciting book.

"Scars" is serious and entertaining--seriously entertaining! The story of sixteen-year-old Rebekah Silver stands out among other rapture fiction, even the best-selling series "Left Behind." With every reference to the various prophetic events, Prence footnotes scripture--what better proof of careful research? Readers watch Rebekah grow in her Christian belief, suffering the cross with her even till the surprising, spectacular ending. Heart-racing!
