Summary: Compelling Fiction
Review: This is a more than acceptable follow up to the Left Behind series, taking the reader in a different and fascinating direction. In this compelling story, Jenkins answers the question, "What if all religion was outlawed completely? Would the world be better off for it?" The answer is, of course, a resounding "no." Protagonist Paul Stepola's life mirrors that of Paul the Apostle ("Stepola" is a scrambling of the word apostle) in a series of compelling circumstances that includes the literal stoning of a man named Stephen and a bout of temporary blindness. The book is a thrill ride from beginning to end, with the reader always wondering when the other shoe will drop and Paul's double agent status will be discovered. The only criticism I had was that Stepola's conversion experience seemed a little flat when compared to the Biblical Paul's, though it could be argued that it's more typical of what happens to most people who come to Christ. All in all, a worthwhile, interesting read.

Summary: Jerry Jenkins at his best
Review: What a great book! It started off with action, BOOM right out the cage. I think the main character is so well described, very human, and proves that you can be both human and superhuman as he(with the grace of God) pulls off some really incredible feats. Also I like the way the United States was split, his reasoning was great!I can't wait for Silenced, already pre-ordered it!

Summary: Persecution
Review: Xtians have always fallen over themselves to tell you how very oppressed they are. The truth of the matter is the last truly persecuted xtian lived in early Rome and got thrown to the lions. Otherwise, you guys have pretty much been in charge of western civilization for the last 1500 years. So what are you complaining about? I think you've got some kind of pathological victim syndrome.
