Shocked with the sanctioned corruption

Revisado: 10-24-23

It was interesting at first, then it became all about preppers and their justification for buying automatic weapons etc. But I lost complete respect for the writer's supposed Christianity when the main character bribes a store clerk and a store manager to get him goods out of the back. This book will be loved by folks who hate the government and are all about prepping for doomsday etc, but this is not a Christian book. It uses Christianity and the Book of Revelations as a pretence for this book, but this story will not teach you to love God or love your neighbour more. Quite the contrary. It teaches readers to not rely on God, to distrust all people except your little prepper clique, don't care for the poor or the needy, bribe people to benefit just yourself, have enough guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition to kill desperate people. This is what Jesus would want us to do? This book even claims that the middle class characters are the poor because the government is so rich and powerful, so in comparison they are poor. I have not listened to such a corruption of true Christianity in a long time in a book claiming to be Christian. It's a prepper book for sure, but that's where it ends. The main characters are further away from anything resembling Jesus than in an average secular book. The performance was good.

Highly recommended listening

Revisado: 09-13-22

Probably one of my top 10 books of all time. So many deep insights into myself, my family and others around me.

Very thoughtful, balanced and well-researched writing, making everything clear and concise. Narration is excellent and personal too, though I found it necessary to speed it up to 1.35x to a comfortable listening speed for me.

Negatives included the bell for reflection times, which was way too loud and jarring and I came to dread it and it distracted from being able to reflect. Also, the section on spiritually for was unhelpful for me. The positives vastly outweighed the negatives, however.

Wish I could encourage all my friends and family to read it!
