A friend recommend this “Apocalypse” book to me, and it was the sweetest, most innocent, and least terrifying book about end times I’ve encountered.
Don’t get me wrong, the prophecies surrounding the end times are scary, but this journey of Father Elijah captures one honest man’s point-of-view of how the end begins: a global governing body and its captivating president successfully position itself as the authority on moral and societal law. Religious groups are quietly displaced–many willingly.
As always, I tend to pull a few quotes from each book I read and share them. Either the passage is beautifully or descriptively written . . . or there is some human truth captured in just a sentence or two. Here’s one that struck me as honest and real.
“It’s the disease of the century. C.S. Lewis called these people Late Western Man. They’re educated, affluent, restless, and unfulfilled.”
The unwritten questions the author challenges us with is “What will fulfill them–and what are they willing to do to achieve what they believe will bring fulfillment?” This 1996 novel explores one path. It’s an easy and intriguing read. It’s also not too difficult to see this playing out in today’s world.
