Escape to Zion (Emma Trilogy)

by Chad Daybell

"Volume 3 of The Emma Trilogy A strange world greets Emma Dalton on her journey into the future. Chariots are racing through Salt Lake City's streets, Temple Square is surrounded by an electric fence, and earthquake-caused destruction is visible everywhere as Emma embarks on An Escape to Zion, the concluding volume of the Emma Trilogy by Chad G. Daybell. Such surprises aren't what Emma expected on this day. She'd planned to welcome home her brother Doug after his LDS mission, but an auto accident changes everything. Instead, Emma finds herself several decades in the future -- within months of the Savior's Second Coming. Emma's intriguing errand places her among some of the most wicked people on earth, which tests her faith to the limit. But after several amazing turns -- including befriending one of the Three Nephites -- she makes her way to New Jerusalem. Her stirring account of the glorious city includes a reunion with family members. After participating in the events at Adam-ondi-Ahman, she gets a glimpse into the Millennium and the First Resurrection. Most importantly, Emma learns the future isn't necessarily set in stone. After reading An Escape to Zion, you'll be sure to ponder what the future holds for you!"

I really enjoyed reading all 3 books in this series.

[Karen · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was one of the slowest moving and most boring mystery novels I have ever read. There as WAY too much unnecessary back story on historical characters that added NOTHING to the story. I only kept reading b/c I was convinced it might get better. It didn't get the least bit interesting until the last 100 pages. What a waste.

escaping is just a word in the dictionary, Emma learns that escaping is harder then she had planned. when Emma believes she goes to the future to help she is faced with more than she feels she can handle alone. Chad Daybell ended the Emma trilogy with this amazing novel....the characters continue in the series of The Great Gathering and Celestial City.

Wonderful book I couldn't put it down.

Loved reading about the last days. I really did feel the spirit while reading. Emma's time travel on a errand for the Lord was very enjoyable to read.

I don't think this was realistic but it sure was fun to read and to speculate what the very last days before the Savior comes would be like. I enjoyed this book.
