Chaos in the Blink of an Eye #4
The Countering
What started at Michigan Stadium with a silent evacuation, plunging the world into unbridled—the Rapture of Christ’s Church—the ultimate enemy of God, raised up his primary human agent in the flesh, Salvador Romanero.
With a secret society working feverishly behind the scenes, and with Romanero being supernaturally empowered by the prince of darkness, the former lawyer from Spain quickly rose above the landscape of humanity to become the most powerful man on earth.
The Miracle Maker, as Salvador Romanero was known throughout the world—after various predictions he’d made had all come true—was about to perform his greatest miracle: peace to a tiny country that had lived in constant fear since its inception, the nation of Israel.
But not everyone was sailing on the Salvador Romanero cruise ship. With the promise of peace thick in the air in Israel, elsewhere the armies were already gathering...

Makes One Open Their Eyes!
I enjoyed this series thus far and can't wait to get to read the other six . The words and scriptures quoted in these books caused me to reevaluate my relationship with Christ. I became a Christian the age of 18, or so I thought, but now realize my life didn't reflect my life. Belief was never the problem, it was actually living the fruits of my labor that didn't reflect it. I am now trying to change this. I still have much to learn. I have so many questions about end times and wish there was a study on the book of Revelations and other Books in the Bible which are prophecies regArding end times that wasn't watered down versions, plus it would be great if the study was available so that there was someone to talk to as I do the study. Anyway I sure have enjoyed Patrick's Chaos series so far and plan to read his other books as well.

Truly enjoying this series
Perhaps enjoying is not the right word, but I'm definitely hooked. The story is presented slightly different than others I've read and has helped me to search the scriptures. I also want to thank the author for writing these books. I was lukewarm, and barely that; these books have been a lifeline for me. Ive a long way to go, but at least I am now searching once again for that intimate relationship with my Lord and Savior and walking with Him once again. May God bless you as He has blessed me through you.

This series just keeps getting better and better. I found myself cheering for Tamika Moseley when she did the unthinkable. I will not elaborate on this. No spoiler alerts from me! But I really loved how God brought everyone in the "End Times Salvation Movement" together through dreams they all had. Very believable. As a former Catholic, I pray Catholics everywhere, especially my own family, will read this so they can finally be set free from the bondage like I was. Bring on Book #5!

Chaos!
This series of books about the times leading up to the Rapture of the true Christian church is Amazing!
Even if you think this is hogwash, if you don't read it you are missing out on one of the best "end times" stories ever written.
Take my word for it and start the first book. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I'm starting book 5 and can't lay it down!

Excellent!
I want to keep reading. Lots of good information in this book. You should read Daniel to understand the Book of Revelations.

EXCITING
T his was a most exciting book. Can't wait to read the next one. It's really heating up in Israel, but confused as to the prophetic change.

Read So You Will Know
This series is a telling of the end times seen in Daniel and Revelations. I find it interesting- the author’s take on end times, the church, - which one is and which one isn’t correct in their views. I’m not sure I understand why there is a separation of the believers before and after the rapture but I will read on and try to figure it out. Interesting books.

Review of Chaos series so far
Hats off to Patrick Higgins for his Chaos series. I just finished book 4 and am totally engrossed in the story line, the characters, and how closely the author is staying to the events described in the Bible, specifically Revelation. I love it when the actual scriptures are referenced. I can't wait to start the next one!

Revelation before our eyes
Another fantastic book in this series. May God continue to touch the lives of anyone who reads this series, and needs to know His mercy and love.

Chaos In The Blink Of An Eye
I have read the first four parts and I had to force myself to put the book down. It is well written and it kept me in suspense to where I would be up until at least 2:00-3:00am.
I would recommend this series to anyone that would be, or even those who may not be interested in reading the religious books. You will not be disappointed.

Nice fictional perspective
This is an interesting perspective on the days and months after the rapture, but again we must be careful to not take its teaching as biblical truth. I question some of this author's thoughts on the subject,, but I am not an expert either.

Great
This series has a strong basis in scripture and sound doctrinal reasoning. I read a lot of prophetic books and find this one of the best.

I deeply enjoyed the book and the series as a whole. The ending was not as I expected, it did leave me thinking.

Another great sequel!
I really like the way this author brings scripture to life and shows a very possible reality of life after the rapture. Looking forward to the next one!

Good book
Read all of the books in order to really enjoy. Characters are realistic and get better and better. Storyline continues to grow and develop.

Hard to wait to buy the next
This series is holding my interest. One of the best, maybe the best end time stories I have ever read.

The Rapture
Though I have no problem with the Rapture happening, the clear writings in Revelations 14:14 ("Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.” So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested") provides information that correlates more closely to the sounding of the 7th trumpet as mentioned by Paul in 1st Thessalonians 4:16 and the Abomination of Desolation as mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:15. Regardless, the church will be Raptured before the Bowls of Wrath occur in the second half of the 7 years called the Great Tribulation. This interpretation allows for Christians who are on the fence or misled to get their acts together during the Seals and Trumpets during the first have of the 7 years. Just thoughts to consider.

Good book and series! I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story line isn't at all like the Left Behind series like some others, but is fresh and interesting. The books grab your attention immediately and don't let you go. Best of all is that the books are definitely Christian fiction. The characters that are Christian show what having Jesus as your savior looks like in real life. God is part of every page of these books. Since they're about the Tribulation, Satan is also well represented in the books. You soon see that everyone is serving either Jesus or Satan. I'm almost at the end of the series and everything has been scripturally sound so far. I'm sure the rest will be too. The only downside to the books is that they're a little short for my liking. I think it would be better if he made every 2 - 3 books in the series into one book. This review will be on each book in the series.
Edited to add: Another good point about this series is that it shows what the Tribulation will be like very realistically. I know that many seem to think that a judgment will happen, people will clean up after it, and then things will go back to normal - kind of like when a tornado hits somewhere now. They seemed to think that except for during the short times when a judgment was happening, everything would be fine. This series puts those lies to rest for good!

Be sure you are a Christ follower instead of just knowing about him!
I have consistently rated the books in this series as 5* but had never taken the time to write a review. That changes now! By reading these books, I have come to realize that I have let my relationship with Jesus become lukewarm. I don't approve of the whole " woke agenda" and generally try to live by the10 Commandments but I have gotten lazy about attending worship services or doing Bible study and praying apart from daily devotions. In today's world, sharing the love of God and the saving power of Jesus' blood needs to be a priority. I am going to do my best to try to get back on track.

The Countering
This KU library selection is the continuation of the Chaos in the Blink of an Eye series. The main characters are each coming to terms with missing out on the Church Age and the Rapture, and are reaching out to friends and family as they reposition themselves in an increasingly hostile world. The Anti Christ has appeared and the seven year clock will soon be ticking. "Where will you spend eternity?"

Lord have mercy, we don't know what we are doing.
I am enjoying reading these books. I would recommend the series to everyone. The author quotes the word of God throughout. Helps us to understand a lot of what's going to happen in the coming years. God help you and me to live for Him and to be His witnesses instead of worshipping the things of this world. Thanks to the author for reminding us that God is coming soon for His blood washed saints. God please save souls.

???
Not sure what to say. I disagree with parts especially about grades of salvation. The parable about the workers in the field comes to mind. Those who arrived late received the same reward as those who started early. "Sadly some received no crowns". There is no sadness or class in Heaven except the God Head and the rest of us.

Part 4 will keep you wanting more.
The continuing story of people realizing that their loved ones were raptured because of their belief in Jesus and that they were left because of their nonbelief , has mad e many believers. Now comes the signing of the peace agreement and the start of the 7 yrs of strife by the AntiChrist. Can't wait for the 5th book.

It was okay
I’m gonna keep reading because I’m kinda invested at this point, but I don’t know if I’ll finish the whole series. Books one and two were awesome but the latter two so far are just idk... anyway I guess you’ll have to read it and gauge for yourself. Hopefully you like it.

Excellent teaching tool
While I believe the storyline has slowed down, I am still learning parts of the Bible that were very confusing to me.
One observation, as a woman who was Catholic until early adulthood, I was never ever taught to believe every word from a pope. We were taught that the pope is only infallible when he publishes an encyclical.

another brilliant mixture of Scripture and brilliant writing
With the affects of the rapture fully calculated those left behind choose which path they will follow. The stage set for the anti- Christ and a remnant being prepared to proclaim the Gospel till the very end you will be praying ,highlighting and even losing yourself in Patrick's beautiful story .

Excellent Reading
The Books follow each other very well. Once you read one you won't be able to stop reading the next. They are well written and follow the Bible. The Author obviously spent much time in Revelations, as we all should. Reading this series of books has made me realize a whole lot about, as as *I w8e1.
