Is a secret cabal working to collapse the international economy to usher in a global government and one-world currency? Noah Parker, like many in the United States, has been asleep at the wheel. During his complacency, the founding precepts of America have been slowly, systematically destroyed by a conspiracy that dates back hundreds of years. The signs can no longer be ignored, and Noah is forced to prepare for the cataclysmic period of financial and political upheaval ahead.
Watch through the eyes of Noah as the world descends into chaos, a global empire takes shape, ancient writings are fulfilled and the last days fall upon the once-great United States of America.

I liked the story line in this book. In fact, it makes me want to get ready for the apocalypse now. My daughter and friends think I'm going crazy because I want to get a gun and safe now. The only problem I had with this book and the reason that I gave it 3 stars is because it had too much detail. For example the chicken wire that they were making out of construction wire. I didn't really see any relevance of it to the story line. This was just one example. I thought the author was going to go somewhere with the story by putting some of the details in and he never did. All in all it was a good book. It just could have been better.
I finished the trilogy, and they are great books. The big turn-off for me, though, was the excessive usage of two words: snickered and winked. The last word was used about 60 times in the trilogy, and snickered was used about half that. I mean, really, who winks all the time when they talk. And all the characters, virtually, in the book? So it just really ruined the books for me. I gave them four stars, though, because the story itself is good; the series, Days of Elijah, is my favorite thus far, a great trilogy.
I actually read the Elijah trilogy first, but as soon as I finished that, I came back to this series to see how it all began. What an eye opening experience. Of course it is a work of fiction; however, the storyline tracks pretty closely to the warnings in the bible. If you are a living, breathing human being with half a brain, you need to see where our current world attitudes are leading us. Of course, this may not happen in our lifetime, but what if it did? just think about it.
I loved this book. The characters are very believable and the book flows well. I have read quite a few books by Mark Goodwin... now to the next series in order. I really like the way Mark places scripture throughout his books.
I must confess this is the second series from Mark Goodwin I have read. I didn’t review the first series because I was eager to start this series. I know few people who know the Bible so well. It seems Mr. Goodwin has that knowledge also. He puts together stories that come straight from headlines of news today. I haven’t decided if I should get ready for whats coming this way or to be the first to go home to be with the Lord. There’s so much to do it overwhelms me. But back to his books. Mr. Goodwin’s books are very fast reads. If you aren’t saved, you really need to get right with our Lord. Many people think they’ve done things too terrible or aren’t good enough. You are!!! God treasures you! He made you so why wouldn’t He love you enough to forgive you? He does forgive and He does love you! Confess to Him, be born again and get baptized. That is all He requires of you. You will be a new person in Him!
I have read a few Mark Goodwin before and really liked them but this was filled with Bible versus that were twisted to fit the narrative.
Listen, I am not naive to think that something like this could happen &prepare myself. This was just an infomercial for the NRA. Individual conversations filled this book without bringing the readers imagination into the book...I love books that while you are reading the author makes you see, feel and be part of what's going on. There were no edge of my seat moments..just bible verse explanations that just seemed monotonous and boring. No descriptive imagination at all.
I've only started on book two of the three book set. This author is incredible. His story line is exactly how my family and if will think the collapse will go down. He names the players in the BE I and what has been happening behind the scenes in our government. Everything he writes is, "yep, I knew that." Everyone who has an ear to hear needs to read this series to find out the who, and why and if you haven't already, GET READY! We, the Christians and Patriots, will be blamed and hunted incarceration and extermination.
I downloaded this series, mostly because it was a set, and free, with Prime. And the title sounded intriguing. While I loved the story line, and it had me from the get-go, I would have liked more detail about a couple of the major characters at the end. If you're into apocalyptic conspiracy theorist points of view then I'd highly recommend this book. Even if you're not (I'm not), this book is still a fantastic read, and it can really make you think twice. Very good 👍. I would read more by this author.
Awesome. The book was uplifting, depressing, encouraging, discouraging, frustrating and enlightening. Great read. Makes me so thankful I have God in my heart.
Spoiler alert. When they were taking Cassie, shot the dog, did an illegal search I wanted to reach into my kindle and strangle those "people of authority". Abuse of authority. Okay. I missed a little out of being really good.
I read this as a believer, As a man, a Christian and a believer. The author has truly done something to bring his readers closer to God, and has used his talents to bring light to those in darkness. Take a moment to read this, to study this, and to believe.
Neither politics nor finance is a subject in which I have depth of knowledge. Even if you disagree with the interpretation of the Bible you will be given plenty of food for thought. This is a subject that has been in my thoughts for years. While my tie is drawing nearer by the day it is one of concern for my children and grandchildren.
Well written, citing from history as well as Scripture. Very timely as well, starting from suit against Believers, communities pulling together with handy descriptions of how to do things like filtering bad water. Women don't take a backseat either. I can't wait to read "Days of Elijah" sequel
I love Mark Goodwin's end times series. He has some great tips in them on survival and how to live off the land. I am believing the bible that Jesus will come and take his Church before the tribulation begins, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for all disasters. These are books you can't put down and you can't wait to get to the next series.
This is my second reading of the Days of Noah and I still learned more. By the insertion of all the scriptures and the very human characters it made these books to be “must reads”! Don’t pass up this set of books because you think they might be too long. The pages fly by and you probably will, like me, wish it wasn’t over.
There are so many references in the Bible about what to expect that will lead up to the new world order, economics and power. I appreciate being able to read a good book which follows Biblical truths and read from my Bible the scriptures to help me understand what is going to happen and have an idea of how it might come into play.
This book has me thinking about how close we are to facing a reality such as this. Every Christian and non Christian should read this to understand what is happening today.
This was a fast paced story that although "fictional" was informative and also got me thinking, " Wow,wow,wow, am I as ready for such a thing as this? " Eerily realistic with what we see in the daily news casts.
A very well written and thought out book that clarifies the Scriptures in a relatable and loving way as well as being a fast read, always keeps you interested in the next page without making you feel so anxious...
This was a great story. It shakes you to the core, your like oh my God. I have already started the next set. The story is well told full of things I didn't know.
Okay, here's how this is gonna go: the good, the bad, and the try harder.
The Good: Goodwin is a great character writer. His plotting is fairly predictable, but that may simply be me, as a reader, steeped in the eschatology he's using for inspiration. A sort of conceptual and down-to-Earth prequel to the Left Behind series, I found this much more engaging and vastly less cringe-inducing than that one, despite the fact that I only got through two or three of the books. Goodwin's both sides of the coin interlocking narratives is engaging and I wanted to keep up with both sets of characters: those in Virginia and those in Tennessee. I was please when, at the end, the convergence of these became much clearer.
The Bad: If you are, like me, steeped in the eschatological underpinnings and/or have read anything about prepping / preppers / bug-outs / boogaloos, this book may get into your head in an uncomfortable way. Yes, my imagination runs away with me, quickly, on a regular basis. But there were a few moments where I was listening to it in a car and something happened in my real life there on a nice suburban road that matched what was happening in the book and I was genuinely concerned. If you aren't steeped, you may be more or less dismissive of the entirety of the plot. I'd be interested to read or hear perspectives of/from that group. I'll hunt through other reviews.
The Try Harder: Jeez. O. Pete. Narrator! And I don't know how much creative control Goodwin had with this, but Kevin WhateverHisLastNameIs just needs to try so much harder. First, you shouldn't be an audiobook actor if you can't do accents. People from Virginia do not speak with the same accent as people in East Tennessee do not speak with the same accent as people from Israel for whom English is a second language. Furthermore, men and women have different pitches and intonations. If you were merely listening, with no "he said/she said" cues, you'd really only ever be able to tell the children from any of the other characters.
Bonus: The Nit Picking: Again, don't know how much Goodwin got to act in a production capacity for the audio, but let me clue y'all in to how words are actually pronounced in an Appalachian dialect, which is where half this series takes place:
I'm not sure I can agree with all of the "conspiracy" theories, the theological theories about the end times, or certain scenarios playing out in the way they did, but this series had my attention.
I listened to it with my husband who actually made this choice. Considering how he has never read for enjoyment, it's a big deal. While these books were in audio version, he recently began reading another series by the author.
I don't know what's happening here. It's great though. He's a fan, and he's actually reading a book.
We were awed by what we listened to. I mean, it's likely that we plebs will never know the true motives of our government. Maybe it will never affect our lives, but there's always some amount of social engineering, war, unethical laws, and the pinching away at a variety of freedoms that could have been/be somewhat prevented. My thoughts have been sent spinning.
As for me, it's not my usual genre, but I could see where the Christian, anti-establishment, pro-gun, adventure-seeking, family-oriented person would enjoy this series.
I’ve been a believer in Christ since 1961. I went through some backsliding in the 70’s where I new God had a plan for me but was resisting the worldly existence I was living. God never gave up on me brought a beautiful woman into my life. Together we live for Christ and await His return to gathers His church. Whatever your life circumstances are, “IT’S NOT TO LATE IF YOU ANSWER HIS CALL.” This book puts it all in real life, easily understandable terms that will entertain you and provide a plausible basis for understanding what true believers are waiting for. Read and check the information by reading the Bible. God has provided the truth, the way and life; don’t wait too long to say yes to eternal life with Him.
I enjoyed the series. Some of the events seemed to be typical Hollywood movie drama, but the sense of frustration and fear of what the future held for Noah's group and Everett's group was well done. I liked the 2 different story lines and how they eventually became connected together. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter were a nice connection to what would happen in the upcoming chapter. Given the environment and political tension we live in, it is easy to think that this fiction could someday soon become reality. I think that after having read this, I will be more in tune with my own faith, and more perceptive about what changes our leaders are planning.
Okay, I’ll admit it! I love reading fictional accounts of the end times. This series is done very well and actually spends a fair amount of time explaining biblical prophecy. The writing style is reasonably good and the editing was proficient. The story itself was outstanding and deals with the collapse of America as we know it in the days leading up to the emergence of the Anti-Christ. Good character development and sets us up for the next series; The Days of Elijah.
I don't mind religion in books, and I like a conservative viewpoint. HOWEVER, I will not tolerate Antisemitism as perpetuated by the author. In it, he blames the Jews for controlling the world finances. That was MORE than enough crap for me. They is entirely too much hate in this world and Mark Goodwin does not need to add his disgusting views to it.
DON'T READ THIS BIGOTED DIATRIBE POS excuse for what supposedly is literature. On top of everything else it reads like a kid from junior high school was trying to write a book.
The Church needs to wake up to the “signs of the times”. We are at the door of the Tribulation period... I believe we are in “The Beginning of Sorrows”... It’s time to PREPARE... Spiritually, Mentally, Physically and Financially. The Word of God in our hearts... Renewed Minds that are filled with Hope... Strong, healthy, fit bodies for what is to come. Food for the lean times coming and Gold and Silver, bullets and guns for bartering. Are you getting ready? I am. In Christ, Bishop Frank Dupree
Remember, this is fiction. Just like every author, Mark Goodwin uses real-life events and other material as inspiration for his stories. It's fiction inspired by the non-fiction. I really enjoy Mark Goodwin's writing. He writes for the veteran prepper and the novice. The political, secular, and Christian narratives unfold in the telling of his relatable stories. You'll recognize similar events to real-life current events without feeling like you're being fed a cheesy story. For a "Christian" book, it has some shocking scenes that I did not expect but was unexpectedly pleased with.
I read at least two books each week. I am 76 years old and have loved reading most of those. This is, without doubt, one of, if not the beat books I have ever read. I only put it down for sleep at night. Intriguing, fascinating, Biblically accurate, scary, well written are just a few of the words I would use to describe it. I recommend Days of Noah to everyone, Christian or not. It will either wake you up or warn you to soon coming events in the world.
