essentially a repeat of book one. that alone confused me greatly- I really don't think she added anything new- other than more scripture maybe, as well as her own interpretations of everything. there was no detail in either book, which made me wonder if she really experienced it in person...or it was just a series of dreams.
it's nice if this all really happened- I have no problem with it- but I really think these things need to be kept to ourselves, as prophets such as Brigham Young have stated...
also, I think she was trying to justify something with all her talk on prophets. however, until I hear this come from a prophet- I cant' quite conform to it.

This book is quite similar to the author’s previous offering, covering essentially the same information but with areas of focus on some items that offer incrementally more details. That the book, published November 2014, cites several events from as late as October 2014 points to the speed of writing and care of organization and editing encountered. Again, the author provides prophetic warnings about the future and advice on how best to prepare. This all presupposes a Mormon ideology of world history and scriptural interpretation and this book, much, much more than her first work, is squarely aimed at a Mormon audience. I would guesstimate that about one-fourth of this book consists of quotes, often fairly lengthy, of LDS prophets and apostles, and also scriptural quotes. These quotes generally have an apocalyptic tone.
The author purports to be a voice of warning to the faithful, comparing her self-proclaimed prophetic calling to the apostolic calling of John: “God specifically foreordained and called upon the Apostle John to write about the things he had been shown pertaining to the last days and the second coming of the Lord” (p. 19). Throughout the book the author stresses her visionary experiences repeatedly by stating “I was shown…” (e.g., pp. 39-40). In her first book the author discusses a very specific extended vision that purportedly occurred during a forty-eight hour near-death experience. In this book the author expands upon that, stating that her visions and dreams began in the fall of 1990 and continued up to and through her near-death experience in 2004, after which time they continued and dramatically increased (p. 43). The latest date specifically cited for a visionary experience is May, 2012 (p. 150). These twenty and more years of visionary experience far surpass what was noted in the first book.
There are occasional minor points of proposed new doctrine explicated, such that there are temples in the Spirit World where the spirits of the dead must perform ordinances similar to the vicarious ordinances performed on earth. This symmetry of ordinance work is required to link the two efforts into a valid ordinance (refer to e.g. p. 35). While this is not necessarily unreasonable, it clearly is well beyond anything revealed in scripture.
Much of the book’s eschatology is devoted to a consideration of various tent cities and Places of Refuge that will be formed primarily by Mormons, but also by other peoples of faith, during difficult times. The rationale for postulating about mass evacuations to tent cities is based solely on the author’s visions, and does not appear to be based on Mormon doctrine per se. She states there will be “hundreds” of tent cities, “many dozens” of Places of Refuge, and about six Cities of Light (p. 61), each increasing in spirituality and safety from the previously listed type of place. These various refuges are scattered around the world but heavily concentrated in North America and especially Utah, where Logan and Manti are noted as being the approximate location of two such future safe havens. One fairly lengthy passage (notable for being minutely detailed, while the remainder of the book is quite vague) details the author’s family’s future automobile route from Kansas City to Southern Utah, to Price Canyon, to I-15, through Sardine Canyon (near Logan), and from thence a hike of several miles to a Place of Refuge guarded by cowboys on horseback. Too, the author provides an extended list of items to be readied and also muses about transportation, electricity, water, the economy, and so forth. This is oddly juxtaposed with statements such as “Our leaders will prepare us for upcoming changes…” (p. 65) and so forth. E.g., if they will prepare us then what need of this book?
Various types of severe destruction are enumerated, with a heavy focus on biological weapons and the dreaded EMP. Cities specifically mentioned as being nearly entirely destroyed are Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles (p. 96), New York City (p. 98), and Chicago (p. 112). In this book the author notes the Statue of Liberty will be half-way submerged by the sinking of Ellis Island (in the first book the author claimed the Statue of Liberty would be destroyed by bombing). Chicago is noted as the site of manufactured race tensions and race riots and apparently will be the location of the outbreak of America’s Next Civil War. Fairly routinely in the book the author states that she knows much more detail but is prevented from disclosing it because the Lord will not give her permission. I suspect that in the next book, the Lord will have given some permissions.
Sounding like a contemporary Milton William Cooper, the author explicates several engineered biological plagues that will sweep the globe. Apparently, an evil cabal of power-mongers wants to control the world and feels the best way to do this is to de-populate most of it. For example, the author states of Ebola that it is “manufactured and purposefully mutated to cause the most harm possible and to…” (p. 105) evade detection as a biological agent, etc. Plus the EMP. Don’t forget the EMP. But pack a calculator just in case. And miniature scriptures.
The book ends with an Appendix (text available online at the author’s web site) which extols the virtues of The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and energy healing, as well as noting the amazing fact that until recently you couldn’t google Dr. Bradley Nelson.

I read this to see what all of the craziness was about. I was disappointed. I know there many people who think this and her other book are great and tell of future events. I'm a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ and I believe there is a prophet on Earth and that God speaks to us. Julie says over and over how we are given revelation for ourselves and for those we are responsible for. Then in the next sentence she will say the spirit told her to write the things she saw in her NDE about the future events of the LDS church. The prophet receives revelation for the church and the world as a whole not Julie. She says follow the prophet but then gives what she has seen as the word of the Lord. I would not recommend this book. Follow the prophet and take this book with a grain of salt.

I love this book. Julie Rowe continues in her explanation of her near-death experience from A Greater Tomorrow. Some might think it's redundant but the book has very appropriate information for these end of times. There are more details of emergency preparedness and what Julie saw in her future. The urgency in which she encourages everyone to be prepared helps others to gain a witness of what we need to do to withstand the trials of the future of our country.

So this author has been excommunicated because she apparently went severely overboard after this book was published and started predicting specific events and disasters, none of which occurred. It’s too bad because she seems very faithful and sincere in this book. Not a lot of new info at all here - it’s your standard list of things predicted to happen in the last days. Interesting and somewhat plausible sounding, but ultimately nothing more.

I liked this book alot. I like Julie Rowe's frankness and get to the point style writing. The subject matter would be hard for anyone to fully understand if you aren't a Mormon. Just saying. I recommend this book to be read after her previous book. The two go together but you should clearly read her first book, A Greater Tomorrow, first. I like the fact that her visions and dreams and revelations are very similar to other people who have seen the other side of the veil. Not identical but close. Close enough that it gives validation to her but also to them. In this particular book, I liked that she referenced revelation from past presidents and apostles. I too hear people say, "Well, if this was all true, then the Prophets and apostles would be screaming it from the pulpit". Actually, they do. And they did. I know so many people who are faithful but who aren't obedient. So many saints that I know, do not have a real food storage. Yet we have been commanded and counseled to do so. That's what I mean, they are faithful but don't actually "do". What they call a food storage is maybe 2 weeks. So ironic too. We live in a time where wealth and prosperity to the Saints is at an all time high, but yet, most are not prepared.

Great book! I liked how she added more scriptures and prophetic quotes to this book. She adds more detail than she had in her previous book, A Greater Tomorrow. My favorite thing about this book is that she addresses specific questions that I had after reading A Greater Tomorrow, such as whether we gather with families or wards/stakes, what we do with our Journals and Photo Albums, and others. I really appreciate Julie Rowe and her willingness to share what she knows. I loved her chapter at the end on Emotion Code and Body Code! I use Emotion Code frequently, so hearing her perspective on it was great. I recommend this book!
January 4, 2015
Loved this book. It syncs with other LDS Near death experiences I have read, and is very informative about what we should do to prepare for the last days. It completely coincides with LDS religious beliefs, modern revelation and the scriptures. I am grateful for the insight she has given me in regards to emergency preparedness and also energy healing. Loved it!

This second book gives light to some of the details that weren't covered as much in A Greater Tomorrow. I found this book helpful to have a knowledge of events that will transpire before the Lord's Second Coming so that I can recognize the signs when they occur and prepare myself and my family for the physical and spiritual trials that we may be called to endure.

I loved this book. Very interesting subject matter. I would recommend this book to all of my family. It is always a good idea to be prepared for any coming event.

Have you ever tried a new meal, and it is so disappointingly bad that after two bites you just can't even bring yourself to swallow the rest of it. This book is that meal.

My mom sent me this for my birthday. It was a very fast, interesting read. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it had some very interesting things in it, for sure. It reads a little too much like a church talk, but oh well. You can get past it. I'm about to mail my copy to a friend who is big into The Emotion Code. I know that's becoming very trendy these days.

This book adds very little to the first books' depiction of her NDE. However, she constantly says that she has additional information but has been forbidden to reveal it. Why even mention this knowledge unless she is trying to entice others to buy her books so that they may get some of this hidden knowledge? As this is her second book published in the same year and they each cost $15 I'm not convinced that she is trying to share the message of her NDE and how we can prepare but instead get the feeling she is trying to convince readers to buy her books.
This book is mostly about how to prepare both physically and spiritually for the last days when the saints are gathered to places of refuge before the storm of the second coming of Christ. While the message is good I question the format it is delivered in and the veracity of the source. She constantly says that she has been told by God that this information is for her family and she can't receive revelation for others but then lays out all the information as if it is for everyone. In her narrative she claims that the time must be very soon these things will happen since in her NDE her husband doesn't look much different. Considering her NDE occurred over 10 years ago I'm not sure how accurate that statement can be.
Also she endorses a healing system at the very end of her book. She claims she has not been asked to endorse the good doctor but a search for his practice reveals the substantial price tag associated with his services. If Mrs. Rowe is really trying to spread the word about how we can heal ourselves and prepare for the second coming she has chosen an odd way of doing so.

This is a book that will be of interest to the student of near death experiences, especially those sympathetic to Latter-day Saint beliefs. It is a sequel to A Greater Tomorrow which deals more immediately with the author's near death experiences (NDE's). In The Time is Now the author discusses her faith in greater detail and tells more of forthcoming world events, including the gathering of small communities into camps.
The book, I think, is an important contribution to the growing literature on modern LDS spirituality - written not by church sanction but as personal experience. But I am a bit put-off by those who interpret the dreams and visions of others in dogmatic and literal ways. This is not a fault of the author but of many of her readers. If our sacred canon is full of spiritual revelations that can't be interpreted with algorithmic precision, why should we expect anything different now. Better for the reader to follow Rowe's account with an open mind and then to ponder the significance that her experiences might imply on an individual basis. Advocacy for another's spiritual experiences is misleading at best and harmful at worst.
I was pleased with the description the author gives, at the end of her book, of several dreams dealing with her own health. In contrast to her NDE, these dreams did not provide her with clear understanding at first and she had to work things out over several years. This is a process I can sympathize with and makes the author credible to me.

Admittedly, this book is for a very particular set of people; those of the LDS/Mormon faith who can think dynamically enough to realize that all revelation doesn't come from the prophet, and that having revelation doesn't make one a prophet. The author, Julie Rowe, has had many revelations and visions about both the past and the future. While not claiming to be a prophetess or guru, and while strongly urging her readers to follow THE Prophet, she shares what she has been "allowed" to share, and holding back on what is not meant to be shared.
In a nutshell, many calamities and tribulations are coming soon to the Earth, and shortly before the real do-do hits the fan, all those who will, may choose to follow the prophet's heed to evacuate themselves. Her matter-of-fact style is informative, but if you're looking for an entertaining read, it will only be gripping to those who apply faith and a little imagination to what she's saying. As one who follows the prophet, and keeps the Mormon faith, I have found her to be a true witness. I have read both her books, and listened to three of her radio interviews, and felt a great spirit of humility about her. She continually cites scriptures and ancient and modern prophets, so clearly her aim is not to lead anybody astray, but bring them back into the fold.

First off, I love reading other people's Near Death Experiences. I read them with an interest and with a desire to learn what I can that would help me in my life. I also believe that there are difficult times coming. I believe the words in the Bible that describe the world prior to the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The author, Julie Rowe, believes in personal revelation and believes that you, the reader, can get your own personal revelation as to what you need to do to prepare for difficult times to come. I appreciate that she says this many times in the book. She does not believe that she is a prophet not does she claim to receive revelation for anyone else.
I too,believe that me and my family will have to endure hardships and whatever we can do to prepare will only help us live a bit more comfortably during this time. I enjoyed reading about the possible outcomes of what may happen to various areas in the United States and all over the world. Natural disasters, bring destruction and chaos. If you can be even a little prepared then maybe the chaos will not be so bad.
I do not believe that Julie meant this book to be "Doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ." Which it definitely is not. But great information to use for your own personal preparation both spiritual and physical.

I am saddened that so many people give Rowe's books such poor ratings. I am a stickler for good writing (being an English teacher) and these books are not poorly written. Yes, she has many short sentences, but I felt she was trying to be concise and clear and direct. And, for the record, there are no typos or grammatical errors.
As for the content, I was moved, inspired, and changed. I read these books on recommendation from my aunt and am so glad I did. I now have a clearer vision of what I need to do to better prepare my family and what to watch for as events unfold. We are not as prepared as I thought, so we have a lot to work on.
What struck me over and over again was how often Rowe reminds us to follow the prophet, seek answers in the scriptures, and counsel with the Lord for our own inspiration and revelation. I was also impressed by how closely her experiences and words align with what Church leadership has taught since the beginning of this dispensation, and also what scriptures prophecy. Ultimately, in reading a work such as this, the reader must seek confirmation and direction from the Spirit to know what to think and how to proceed.

Was going to rate it one star, but it was good to read about the "places of refuge" my mom told us about at a family reunion.
In the stranger than fiction description of how it's all going down, she provides sound suggestions on how to get your spiritual life in order. She mentions numerous times to follow the prophet and what they say.
Also, Seattle is specifically mentioned as a place that will be destroyed. But the New Yorker also mentions that :)
I'll save you the time from reading the book. Here is a part of a review on amazon.com:
Trust. in. the. Lord.
DON'T miss a broadcast on a Sunday evening from the Prophet.
Follow the prophet.
Get at least a year supply of food, more if possible, because 7 years would be great.
Get warm clothing.
Get a 4 season tent.
Get a water purifier.
Get a tent stove.
LOVE camping. (That's a hard one for me.)
Expect miracles. Every kind of miracle from the scriptures and more.
Have survival skills.

In all honesty, I picked Ms. Rowe's books up because family members and acquaintances were raving about them. I have read quite a few NDE books, and have been frankly, amazed that people read these works and view the writer as some sort of prophet, which it seems is happening with this and book 1 by Ms. Rowe. I am of the LDS faith, and find this book to not only be limited and repetitive of not only her first book, but holds no real valuable new information. I for one, will follow the prophet, and not a voice that seems to be stirring with the ideas of men, mingled with scriptures.
Isn't it interesting that book one is followed up by a book two of more of the same, only with her interpretations and guidance, and then in the appendix, she is stumping her own business and offering healing sessions for a price? Hmmmm....

Well, I gave Julie Rowe's second book double the stars I gave her for her first book. Unlike the first book, there was a little bit more than a long junior sunday school lesson....or the tearful testimony of the sister who takes all the time in Sacrament Meeting.
Her visions were interesting and it creeped me out how closely they paralleled Visions of Glory. But they were soooooooooo poorly written. Honestly, did Julie go beyond the eighth grade??? If I had to read "I was shown" or "It was made clear to me..." one more time, I was going to lose my mind.
I read the book fast and skimmed alot to just get through it.
The most helpful thing in the book is her list of supplies to get to prepare.

2 1/2 stars. I appreciate her constant and consistent answers to get your own answers and revelation. She points to the prophets and scriptures for answers as well. A delicate balance to feel the call to share a message and a warning yet without setting yourself up as the one with the answers for all. Her message is simple, the writing is simple - both of which I appreciate. I guess it was not a powerhouse book to me as it provided no new information, but others may have a much different experience in that respect.

If you've read Rowe's first book, A Greater Tomorrow, you'll see this one is consistent with the NDE experience she has shared, with the addition of a few more details and prophetic quotes. Having also listened to her radio interviews, I'm struck by how humble she is and I truly feel that she shares this message so that we can be prepared for the future, if we choose to listen. Whether events will occur on the timeline she describes or not, it never hurts to stop and see how prepared you are, both temporally and spiritually.

Good information about being prepared for difficult times, and if she turns out to be right, essential information about being prepared in every way. A few things didn't ring quite true to me, but more did ring true than didn't. I don't know what exactly to make of her experience and her books. I see them as pretty solid supportive material that is secondary to much more important sources of knowledge and truth, and that they need to be taken with a grain of salt. In any case, I'm glad I read it.

I really felt inspired by this book. Julie was plain and clear about the things she learned in her near death experience. She always explicitly expressed that her views were her views...and that she was not trying to create her own religion or override the leaders of her religion. I was impressed how she constantly encouraged the readers to seek for their own answers about the last days and these times of uncertainty. She often offered quotes from scriptures and prophets of her religion. I understood her message well.

This book was interesting. It is always good to have some ideas of how to be prepared. At times repetitive and wordy, but the overall message was important. I especially liked that she used past prophet and apostle quotes to back up her impressions of what she thought will happen prior to the second coming. I am going to look more closely into the Emotion Code & Bradley Nelson that she referred to at the end of her book.

A little disturbing. Things I'd never heard before. Made me a little fearful. After bookclub discussion felt really good about disregarding the whole thing. :) False prophet? Alma 12:9-11. I think spouting off about mysteries leaves one open to being led by Satan. And that plug for the healer at the end? What was that all about? False Christ?
I'm grateful to have had the experience of reading these books. It hopefully leaves me wiser as I run into false ideas in the future.

I appreciate her bearing her testimony, sharing her thoughts, struggles, and experiences. I admire her faith and love for Christ.
Reading this book made me really think about things. It gave peace to my troubled heart but also gave me fright to what will come, especially to the wicked.
I am definitely inspired to prepare and follow Christ and become a better person, but I hope it won't happen so soon.

This book was pretty interesting. I didn't really like her first one at all actually. I'm not sure if what this book states is really true but it was interesting anyway. I suppose if the prophet came out and said we needed to leave and gather of course I would do it but until then I'm going to keep living. I'm just worried that this is another "false prophet" type book.

Powerful! The detail the author gives of events that will "very soon" come to pass concerning the signs of the times, is both motivating and scarey-more like petrifying! It is incredible how specific Julie Rowe is. If you want to know what she saw occurring in Utah, AZ, CA, Washington State, Washington DC, Chicago and Oregon, read this one!
