The Guardian by Robbie Cheuvront and Erik Reed

The Guardian

The authors of this book are Pastors at The Journey Church in Lebanon, Tennessee. Here is a link to their website: click here 

The book is based on scripture from Revelations chapter 10 - the book takes the idea of the scroll that was given to John and then comes up with a fictional story. In Revelations an angel gives John a little scroll and he is to eat it. In the book, since the scroll is sour to his stomach, he then throws it up. The 'guardian' is someone that is a descendent of John that has been charged with protection of the scroll. Others think the scroll has power and seek to obtain it to have that power. The guardian is to prevent the scroll from falling into the wrong or evil hands. 

This was a very good book and while it has many basis in scripture it is clearly fictional. The authors come up with an end times scenario and clearly no one but God really knows when the end times are and what that will truly look like. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very well written. I think many times we don't think about or realize how Satan is truly at work in this world and that some people have intentionally or many rather unintentionally have given themselves over to his control. 

They have a second book out and I can't wait to read it.

This sounds like a book my husband would enjoy. He read the Left Behind Series years ago and really like those. I might have to pick up a copy for him. Thanks for the review and recommendation! :)
