The Last Days #3
Promised Land
BUILDING A NEW NATION AND OTHER MIRACLES
Steven Christopher and the saints are faced with the nearly impossible task of building an ideal society, which is destined to fill the Western Hemisphere and become the center stake of Zion, from which Christ will eventually rule the world.
They must accomplish this great mission under the most dire circumstances and in spite of the designs of many wicked enemies. Their most dangerous and determined enemies are Gog and Magog—the Antichrist and his sympathetic allies—and their agent, the great false prophet, who uses mighty miracles to dupe the weak and gullible into joining the evil cause of his masters. Gog not only seeks the destruction of the saints, but also to control the world and to annihilate the Jewish race.
As Satanic forces combine against the saints in a great and deadly battle, all appears to be lost. Yet how can God abandon his people as long as they keep the faith?
While the saints build the Kingdom of God, Mosheh Lasar, a great chieftain, leads ten thousand of his people from the mysterious lands of the north into New Zion, experiencing great miracles and terrible trials during the journey. They carry with them a drawing of the great temple of the New Jerusalem and prophecies telling of God’s dealings with their people. Who are these strangers and what do they mean to the people of God?
From the building of New Zion to the council of Adam-ondi-Ahman, Promised Land, Volume 3 of The Last Days series, continues the gripping saga of faithful saints as they struggle to fulfill their prophetic destiny in last days

Love reading this
This was an excellent book. Glad it's still wintery. Loved the first two books as well.
Recommend to anyone very inspiring.

I will keep reading this series, but I skipped book 2 and don't feel like I missed anything.
I'm not sure what it is about Tarr's writing that isn't brilliant, but there is so much lacking. I love the "Last Days" theme and will keep reading books about this (especially from a Latter-day Saint perspective), but I find myself wishing for better writing.....
I'm not a writer, so I really shouldn't say much, there is no way I could even put 2 interesting paragraphs together, but I just want so much more from Tarr.....

The start of the book dragged for me. I wanted to finish reading it, so I read a little bit each day. I was reading this book on my kindle, and I'm listening to another book on the same subject on CD. This book was written by a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and it gives a picture of what might happen after the rapture, and the second coming of Christ. The story line picked up as I got further into the book. The ending wasn't what I would have liked.

Cool conjectures as to what may happen during the building of the New Zion, with also the return of the Lost Ten Tribes. Some of the book gets a little hokey, like parts of the Adam encounters, but for the most part, it's an intriguing read.

The Ten Tribes Return
Each of Kenneth Tarr's books get better and better. Don't want them to end. Good use of scriptures to back up his storyline.
