The Believers are kept by God
Willow's story continues. Not everyone makes it. This story is riveting. I've read all four books in two days. You won't be able to put it down. It is an inspiring series full of hope and glory.

Very exciting
I enjoyed tremendously. Now on to book four! This has been a great series. Although it's not Biblical that people can be forced to take the Mark of the Beast.
People can be threatened, bribed, coerced, etc., but ultimately, you have to decide to choose Christ above all else- even unto death. But the moment you breathe your last breath, you'll be with our precious Savior and Messiah!
IF you are not saved during the "Rapture of believers," you will have to die for Christ or worship the beast and receive his mark- whatever that is.
So, be of good courage, as Yahweh commands, and persevere until the end!
Enjoy the book. ( Sue Weaver)

This series is very easy to read. The characters are relatable. This book was very intense. I felt that I did not enjoy it as much as the other ones (The story-line didn't seem as strong, lots of POV and there was a lot going on). However, I'm really excited to continue the series! It had some great applications and lessons to present-day believers. I did highlight a lot in this one.
It’s all we need to know for now. God guides us day by day, hour by hour. We’re not supposed to worry about tomorrow. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, right?

Trial by fire
After surviving the band of marauders, things are looking up for the band of believers until.... A wildfire is raging through the forest. The game is gone and if the winds don't change the fire could destroy everything they've managed to put together. It's a mad dash to safety with fervent prayers sent up to survive the fiery furnace. Will all be lost or will their prayers be answered? And what other blessings might the Lord provide?

Through everything the most important skill they develop is a deep desire and reliance on prayer , and if they expect to make it though what's ahead , they'll need all.then prayer they can muster.

Who Will Take The Mark?
We are getting closer to the time of “The End” and the “chip” will soon be ready for all of those who do not know Jesus and also, for some who don’t know Him well enough to trust His Word and avoid it. I’m not in Montana. I don’t have creeks and forests where I live so I’ve got to get a plan ready because the day is coming when we all will have to “bug out”... Jer 29:11 God has a plan!

This book really stirs my soul.
I love how they pray for everything and how God takes care of their every need. I love the Praise and worship and the worship songs they sing, giving praise to God even in dire circumstances.
I wonder if the author has direct experiences with angles like Willow does.

Bitter Sweet
Truly enjoyable read. I was sadden by the lost of Candy and then Danny's mom. Jacob I felt should have given the child over, but for the love of a child, he didn't. The joy was to see the mother of Willow and Josh make it back to them. Our father in heaven is truly Love, Amen

Band of Believers
This KU library selection is the continuation of the Band of Believers series, which is set in a Montana forest near the small town of Ponderosa. Willow continues to lead the group with a guidance from an angel and dreams, but they are being continually challenged and tested. The End is near and book four is up next.

Together in tribulation!
I love these books and the author!! she makes it real and sometimes I get carried away and feel like I'm there with them! I feel their pain and hurt and sometimes I feel anxious with them! If your a Christian and looking for a good clean read, this is it! Millie Cooper has other good series! Check them out! God Bless!!!

Overall: Good read with a fast-paced storyline. It was hard to put down!
Likes: Thought-provoking, End Times fiction, got me out of a reading slump
Dislikes: Not a ton of character depth since there are so many characters, and some of the conversations can feel a little cheesy.
Recommend? I would. Warning that it may cause distress for those who find End Times to be an anxiety-inducing topic.

Great series
I’m really enjoyed the three books in this series. I can hardly wait for the sequel or the rest of the saga. I like the fact that it made me look up scripture and that it touched my heart and made me thankful because although it may be Christian fiction, it could be real any day.

I think the author did a good job of writing a faith based novel, but if you’re looking for a bible based end time themed novel I don’t think this is it. This is more of a survival novel with end time themes, but not as clear cut as other “revelations themed” books of this genre.

Great Story
Book 3 of Band of Believers was good but I'm disappointed of shocking events in the book but I appreciate how Willow and the group always prayed before making decisions.

full of excitement
This book kept my interest from beginning to the end. Great ending to a wonderful book. Learned some stuff I thought might be useful in the last days, like dandelions are eatable!

Wow wow and wow
I sang with them. I prayed right along with them. I cried with them and I celebrated with them.
This book was no let down that's for sure. Each one continues to keep me on the edge of my seat.

the series is still going strong
Fun read and the scriptures are well placed with the rest of the story. The other characters are fairly well developed in a series about good vs evil.

A beautiful continuation of a Christian story.

Couldn't put it down
Easy to follow storyline. Realistic, no science fiction here. Learned a few new strategies in worse case scenarios. Didn't want stop reading.

Continuing to be excellent read
The story is good. Parts of this book did lag a bit. Dragging out the drama loner than necessary. But still a very exciting read
