Review – Godless

From the back cover:   The nightmares have returned.

Something, or someone, wants to drag Julia Davidson back into a dreadful conflict she assumed was a distant memory. Was this, like before, the echo of another person’s dream? Is she responsible to rescue faces she doesn’t recognize but can’t forget? Do the murky images suggest she has a part to play in whatever ominous events lie ahead?

Things are finally looking up for Matthew Adams. As the top earner at MedCom Associates he has started to crawl out of the financial hole created during his “dark days.” And now, out of the blue, a mysterious woman invites him to join a confidential research initiative. She says it will ease the mounting economic crisis. But at what cost to Matthew’s fragile sanity, and his tortured soul?

Pastor Alex Ware faces a serious problem. The honeymoon period at Christ Community Church has ended. The finance committee says they can’t afford another year of dwindling income and dismal growth. The board wants action, now! Aging parishioners would gladly allocate a portion of their estate to help. But only if Alex stops condemning the transition industry and starts affirming what the Youth Initiative calls “our heroic volunteers.”

In Fatherless and Childless, Dr. James Dobson and Kurt Bruner depicted a time in which present-day trends come to sinister fruition. This eagerly awaited conclusion vividly imagines what happens when God’s image on earth is exchanged for the horrors of a GODLESS world.

Compromise! It is a dirty word. It means someone watered down their principles, kept some of them and accepted some of what he was opposed. The world has changed. It has become a dark, frightening, twisted society where human life is treated casually and euthanasia is embraced for the “old” and “disabled”. The time has come to either speak out against it or accept it. Many of the characters battle with compromise but finally draw their courage from God and rise up to take a stand against what society has become. By accepting this challenge they offer society hope and a bright future. They are fighting against overwhelming odds but they fight on anyway.  I enjoy that this is social commentary all wrapped up in a fiction thriller.  Make no doubt about this the lives of practically everyone are in very great danger and it gets progressively worse as the story unfolds.  Danger, action and adventure are all rolled up in a very exciting read.  These are wonderful characters that live and breathe on the pages and you care deeply for them.  This book does not disappoint at all.
