The Days of Elijah #3
Angel of the Abyss: A Post-Apocalyptic Novel of the Great Tribulation
Everett and Courtney Carroll have endured to the midpoint of the Great Tribulation. The previous Seal and Trumpet Judgments have left the planet in shambles. The western hemisphere is nearly uninhabitable. The prophet Elijah gives Everett a special mission, which will give him a unique role in fulfilling end-times prophecy, but he'll have to survive the coming cataclysms first. Angelo Luz breaks the treaty he made with the nations, declaring himself to be God. A plague of stinging locusts rises up from the smoke of the bottomless pit. And a 200-million-man army of radical jihadists wages a holy war against humanity itself! Everett and Courtney's trials and tribulations thus far have been a walk in the park compared to what's coming. Don't miss this edge-of-your-seat epic thrill ride that promises to make your heart race and your hair stand on end!

Series flow pretty well and we start to see more movement/travel in this one, from the cave near Woodstock, VA to Utah, then back to Woodstock briefly before heading overseas to the Middle East, as we enter the mid-point of the 7 year tribulation. Still the author interchanges meteor with comet, with asteroid in less than 2 paragraphs, which is my main pet peeve. Interesting to see how he explains the locusts that sting non-believers, as some potential science experimentation of mixing animal DNA with human DNA. Also, for the place where the Jews flee to safety is normally considered to be Petra in Jordan, but his interpretation is a place in the republic of Georgia.
Still, it is a genuinely thrilling, enjoyable end-times adventure!

The Book of Elijah continues...
Everett and crew emerge from their shelter in the cave after the fall of Wormwood and the arsenic dust contaminating the air and ground. I won't give it away, but crazy stuff happens and the group becomes smaller before they meet a new friend on the opposite side of the world. Their journey to get there is something new in the Goodwin books. As if basically hijacking a container ship to reach the Med wasn't enough, the comet Apollyon strikes a couple hundred miles ahead of them, making their voyage a tsunami wave riding roller coaster. Things only seem to further heat up after that as the remaining group make their way to Elijah and Noah in Jerusalem.
Goodwin throws in some very interesting knowledge for the reader, as he tends to do. With his style of fiction wrapped around fact, he breaks down the transhumanist ideology and the real-life goals of technocrats to create an omnipresent A.I. and merge consciousness with its system, forever becoming immortal. Only, in this case, it is the antichrist who merges his "mind" with the Dragon machine after merging the world's religions and supplanting himself as the true God.

A MUST read for everyone
I have devoured everyone of Mark Goodwin's books as soon as they are released. Not only are they immensely entertaining they also educate people on the Bible. No one knows when the will come but it does help to have some idea of what is in stors

This series is the best so far! I e read 3 of Mr Goodwin’s series and they are incredible. If his books don’t renew your faith and fan the flame of Jesus then you are doomed! His books are powerful, scary and uplifting. He has made me laugh and cry but he has also made my heart swell even more for my Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach! When you are feeling like GOD isn’t listening to you or you are just in a blah state of not feeling the closeness of our Lord, just read the Holy Word for awhile and then pick up one of Mr Goodwin’s book series and those goose bumps from when you were a new Christian on the mountain top come back and your soul is full of joy again like those days when you were first saved!
Thank you so much for your writings. I plan on reading every series you’ve written. May our El Shaddai continue to bless you. 🙏🏽✝️❤️
Also thank you for not disrespecting our GOD by calling him “daddy” as one Christian writer did in her book series.
I will not read her other books.
GOD is our creator, our Father, not our daddy!
ABBA is more intimate and means Father I will obey you, it doesn’t mean daddy or dad.

Book 3 of the Elijah series. This book is the continuing story of a now small cast of characters. If you read the first two books of this series, it's just more of the same. The author also makes a very bold prediction in which I will not divulge but he did put it in writing!
This work was very well edited, I did see one misspelled word though. The book is fiction based on parts of the Bible, and the cast of characters are placed in situations I have never thought about before. I don't know the thought process of the author so I can't say this was the work of genius or work from drug induced dreams, but parts of it are thought provocative.
I would tell everyone to read the first two books just so you can enjoy this book. To be fare, you should read the Days of Noah series first as this series builds off them.

Best book of this entire saga
Wow, this is definitely the most action-packed book in this entire epic saga, Days of Noah trilogy included.
I loved how Everet and co essentially hijacked a ship as their own, and the efficiency with which they carried it out was just brilliant. Everett also had the best lines during these scenes, enhanced by Kevin Pierces delivery (if you listen to the audio version).
Obviously pick this one up if you’ve enjoyed the saga so far, the plot and characters kind of demand it.

Hope and Thanksgiving and Praise!
The final book from The Days of Elijah was absolutely spellbinding. I kept finding my hands gripping my tablet and my thoughts pleading with the book’s characters to take action: RUN! Don’t go over THERE! ACCEPT Jesus, Dum-dum! and so forth. I enjoyed Mark Godwin’s descriptions of the Last Days and I felt hope, thanksgiving, and praise at the end of his story. I get really excited reading Mr. Godwin’s version of the possible little stories inside the Big Story of Earth’s final days.

Pray for the Mercy and Grace of The Lord!
I have been re-reading the Book of Revelation along with the series,
"The Days of Elijah". Mark Goodwin combines the truth of the Bible, especially the Book of Revelation, with a vivid "reality" that should encourage EVERY unbeliever to want to repent of their sins, ask Jesus' forgiveness, and invite Him into their heart to be their Lord and Savior! As a believer, this series has helped me to rejoice in my Salvation and give thanks to God for the amazing Grace and Mercy He has shown to me and all who come to Him. AMEN!

From America to Jerusulam
The second prophet arrives and our group make their way West to sabotage the global republic so that the prophets can fly out to Jerusalem. God isn't done with the cave dwellers and they have to make their way as well. The locusts afflict many, the anti-christ fulfills prophecy, the jews and muslims are getting saved and Our group continue fighting as they help lead many.

Days of Elijah
A very good read.......this series of books gives one a glimpse of horrors of being left here on earth after the rapture. I have read the Left Behind Series but this series has captured my interest more because I know the areas described; have visited in them. Highly recommend this author and this series.

As soon as I got the email I went to Amazon to get this great read. Almost read the whole book in one day, had to make myself put it down to go to sleep. So looking forward to the next installment.

Terrible Destruction
For anyone who does not believe that Jesus/Yeshua is Messiah, read the gospel of John. This fictional account of the great tribulation tells of what happens to those who refuse to accept the Messiah.

Reading book 3 brings clarity even unbelievers should understand.
How everything plays out and fits together should bring everyone to understand how the last days will be. Can't wait to read #4.

I really enjoyed the series till the end. This one just kind of became a lot of battle scenes which I thought were not very Christian. What's the point? There was a few good moments not enough to make me really enjoy the book.

Great. Tribulation book/study
This series is both frightening and Biblical, I cannot recommend this series enough.
Some might take it as pure fiction, which is thier right. I love the characters and the true timeline. I WILL BE READING MORE FROM THIS AUTHOR

Wonderful
The story continues, the balls are fierce, the plagues come and still there is unbelief. It's hard to see what's right in your face.
