Indirect miss
This is a pretty good story. It's also eerily relevant in today's world. Could it happen? Would it happen? Will it happen? And, if so, will anyone have the courage to try stopping it?
The story was good. The book, at least the version on my Kindle, was not great. There were many times where there should have been chapter breaks or, at least, page breaks. In those instances, the perspective would shift from one character to another. Without s break, it was very annoying to keep up with who we were seeing through. There were other editing issues that added to the shift from good story to mediocre book. That's unfortunate, too, because the story could be powerful.

Amazing journey
As Jennifer fights Nick about his Christian beliefs, Nick disappears. Jennifer is devastated. Finally, with help from Anne, she reveals truth in order to defeat evil. I definitely recommend this book!

I thought this was a pretty good book especially that it parallels current events and where we may be headed. I can see this happening very easily.
I don't think the author is outstanding but her story is engaging enough that it kept me reading until the end.

The Most Right Wing Reactionary Book I've Read
Yet I read it from beginning to end. I wanted to be fair to the author, so I read it all. I confess the characters were interesting and the basic plot interesting, but why the need to inject homophobic scenes into the book, or posit that a Christian Underground is necessary to shelter and protect poor unprotected Christians from a society which believes that government is taxing churches and churchgoing good people out of existence in order to support leeches like the elderly and single moms? Please believe me when I say that plenty of Christians,includin
