Hanging by a Thread

by Wendie L. Edwards, Blythe Edwards (Editor), Kathryn Packer (Editor)

Braun Rogers travels to America and takes a position at the White House in an effort to warn the President of the danger that awaits the nation. He finds the country in political disarray as the constitution hangs by a thread. Through his visions, he sees the outcome of the present chaos as it spirals toward destruction. The country must return to the values that inspired its beginnings if it hopes to be protected from the secret combinations that are designing its downfall. Brea Rogers, the eldest sister of the family, discovers that she is trapped in an unholy web of deceit as she unravels the truth about her husband, Matt and his family. The facts are too horrible to believe and too deadly to ignore. She must make some difficult decisions to protect her unborn children. Just what will that do to her love for Matt and the marriage they share? Elder Conrad Rogers becomes a hostage in the country of Israel but his burden is made light through participating in prophesy. The long awaited Jewish temple rises. The Jews know their Messiah is coming. Do you?

Cry, laugh, get educated and entertained! Amazing book series, people who fault a visionary work for a few typos are missing the point...there is no other contender for "last days" LDS historical fiction. Writing about the "end days" AND keeping in line with scriptures and latter day prophecy in NO EASY TASK! Hurrah for Wendie L. Edwards! I have read a lot of fiction and fantasy novels and this IS very good. Wendy keeps it interesting like J.K., but while sharing information that is much more relevant than Hogwarts! Wendie has done the hard research for you, and also gives it to you in copious footnotes if you don't trust her. This is the kind of information that may lead to your temporal and spiritual survival in the near future, AND it is entertaining...what could be more worth your reading time than that?

I love this apocalyptic series. Wendie L. Edwards does a fabulous job researching every minute detail. It is all so believeable to me. Some people have said, "I don't know how much more evil the world can become." But I do because I've read Wendie's books and can see those same things happening. She backs up everything with footnotes. I love reading the footnotes!

It's kind of like science fiction but yet reality tv. It seems far-fetched but not. If you read the scriptures and read revelations and just open your eyes to the world around us you can see that this is highly probable.

Great book series!

This is a good book series written about the last days on the earth before the Second Coming of Christ. I am reluctant sometimes with LDS novels, so I didn't open myself up in the first couple of books- I was judging. The story is about a woman who is a full-time nurse, wife and mother of 10 doing it all, but the story extends through the experiences of her older children. This book #5 was unbelievable captivating. The whole series is very intriguing from book 1 "Millennial Glory". There is a LOT of LDS doctrine in these books so I probably wouldn't recommend it to non-LDS readers. But then again, who knows? I can't wait to get into the next book!

I am not sure how to explain this, other than i HAVE to know HOW IT ENDS!!! i mean, i guess it is the future, and armageddon isn't always an exciting topic, other than conspiracy and making us ponder if the antichrist is currently alive...i like Edward's use of footnotes at the end, and for my faith, i have been satisfied. The writing is ok, the drama is contrived, the main family is a bit ideal (wait, my family may just be wacko); but this last book (book 5 in series) was very 24-esque...lady president, secret attacks, no one to trust. SO, i guess the best compliment is "yes, i am eager to finish the series"

My favorite so far! It's not only an exciting storyline from beginning to end but I'm really into the Constitution right now because I'm teaching a homeschool American History/Government class. Her portrayal of secret combinations ruling the UN,IMF and most of the world governments don't seem so far fetched to me anymore. In fact, I did some research on the IMF and their dealings with the Federal Reserve...something is not right. This book has reminded me not to become depressed because we have fallen so far from the original intent of the Constitution. God is in charge, he knew this would happen and we need to have faith and hope as we look to him and follow his promptings.

This series is about the last days. Giving a very interest protrail of the last days making you think about your need to perpare for these days. Like the Work and the glory she has put together a fictional family and put them into the middle of the facts about about what is coming. allow you to put yourself into the place of the family. however the best part is the notes and references at the end of each chapter.

I liked how this book gave an inside look into who holds the real power in a fictional future UN and future America. We also get to know some more about some of the characters like, Matt, Brea's husband in this book.

Please see series review under Book #1.

[Gail · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series continues to be one that is hard to put down. The US Government is falling; families are struggling to survive and Satan is going rampant with all kinds of deceiving tactics.

We learn about secret combinations. Creepy. Lots of footnotes from President Benson.
