    <body><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the ending, but I am not sure the ends justified the means. It took too long for the author to get to the point of where the story was headed, even though you knew where it was going to take you. This story is most likely very typical of someone raised ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68336787">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderful book!  I haven't read anything by Jenkins except the Left Behind series which I wasn't extremely impressed with.  This one is also a little sensational.  But it is a very interesting story that draws you in from the beginning and is a beautiful picture of how God works- in the lives of bel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66598612">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A book that kept me turning the pages! Jenkins does a great job of building the tension and suspense as his main characters head toward each other on an inevitable collision course. An ending that was somewhat predictable in some respects and very unusual in others. I liked the book.]]></body>
