Review – Brink of Chaos

Tim LaHaye & Craig Parshall in their new book, “Brink of Chaos” Book Three in The End series published by Zondervan brings us back into the life of Joshua Jordan.

From the back cover:  In the third book of The End series, Joshua Jordan remains in Israel during his self-imposed ‘exile’ out of the reach of U.S. authorities who have trumped-up false criminal treason charges against him. His wife, Abigail, continues to lead the Roundtable to prove the innocence of her husband. Following the nuclear attack by Russia, Israel is cleaning up the bodies of dead enemy soldiers for 7 months and setting out on its 7 year plan—both per the prophecies in Ezekiel. As corruption in high government offices threaten to block the election of a worthy presidential candidate by all means necessary—including the unthinkable—Israel’s leadership is tempted to sign a ‘peace’ proposal initiated by the UN under the authority of Coliquin. After he discusses this plan with Pastor Peter Campbell, Joshua is convinced Coliquin may well be the prophesied Anti-Christ and that his peace plan is a trap to destroy Israel. Are the recurring dreams Joshua has had about the coming rapture from God. And is the end sooner than anyone expects?

Political upheaval, biological weapons and a global threat are just some of the ingredients that are the recipe for “Brink of Chaos”.  You know what that means, right?  Yes, Joshua Jordan is back in “Brink of Chaos” and this book is even more of a thriller than the first two books combined.  Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall have given us a roller coaster ride of suspense, danger, adventure and politics that will keep you flipping pages as fast as you can read them.  Unlike a previous series by Dr. LaHaye this series is set not to far from where we are today.  Dr. LaHaye is using Bible prophecy to show how close we are to what the Bible tells us will happen.

Craig Parshall, known for his legal fiction, has written a page turning, heart-thumping thriller with careful attention to the state of the world right now and how the Bible says we will turn out.  Many of the “things” that are mentioned in the book are in place right now and in use, even though most of us are not aware of them.  Dr. LaHaye and Craig Parshall have one agenda in mind and that is the salvation of many through this work of fiction.  Their zeal is that many will have their eyes open to the state of our world and see that much of where we are currently and where we are poised to go the Bible has already warned us of and that we would understand our need for a savior.  They do a truly remarkable job in this book while exciting us with this story that everyone will enjoy.
