As of this writing, America teeters on the precipice of financial
disaster, thanks to President Obama's radical, leftist policies. According to Scripture, the Antichrist comes to power
amid worldwide economic collapse and unbridled conflict in the Middle East. How close are we to the end of the world system?
Is the Antichrist alive today? Bible scholar and prophecy-author Grant Jeffrey thinks so.
Scars" is one author's idea of what the end times, and the Antichrist, will look like--through
the eyes of 16-year-old Becky Silver. Becky is innocent, charming, strong-willed, and highly sensitive, and I have a sneaking
suspicion that Patience Prence is the same! :-)
The narrative-writing
is rich and colorful, the dialogue free-flowing and realistic. As a Christian novelist, I frequently use interior monologue
to better convey the protagonist's thoughts and feelings, and the author uses it judiciously and effectively. One thing
I especially appreciated was that Patience backs up her scenes with Scripture to emphasize her point. This way the curious
reader can delve into the Bible and learn more about what she's describing. Overall, I found "Scars" to be a
greatly entertaining and instructive story. The ending is one of the most riveting and moving I've ever read--and brought
tears to my eyes. I truly believe this book will become a Christian classic.
