Review: American Omens: The Coming Fight for Faith by Travis Thrasher


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Blurb: 

In this taut thriller that depicts a future where belief is dangerous, faith is deemed hatred, and a group of powerful elite keeps watch, the Reckoner has come to wake up America.
The year is 2038 and Cheyenne Burne is a brilliant young programmer working for Acatour, the world's top technology firm. Her father converts to Christianity, and he suddenly disappears without a trace. When a stranger hands Cheyenne a coded message that sends her on a collision course with a clandestine group of believers, she must put her life in the hands of those following a man known only as the Reckoner. He claims he wants to bring back true faith in Christ to America and also reveal the forces behind the disappearances of the many renowned people who publicly declared their Christian faith.

Operating in the shadows and living off the grid, this mysterious prophet assembles a ragtag team--including a former bookseller whose store was shut down for selling prohibited books--to help him take the battle for transparency to the top. With a ruthless FBI agent closing in, can Cheyenne and the others expose the truth and lead a return to God in America before it's too late?




My Review: 

American Omens: The Coming Fight for Faith is a fabulous book. This fictional story is what I fear will become reality in the years to come. That is the reason why I think why this book could be one of the scariest thrillers I have read in a long time. 

American Omens: The Coming Fight for Faith is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. 

I highly recommend this book for all readers. 

I received this book from the publisher, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Indivisible by Travis Thrasher


About the Book



Book: Indivisible  
Author: Travis Thrasher  
Genre: General fiction, drama  
Release Date: October 23, 2018  

A novelization of the film Indivisible, this is a story of love and marriage and finding each other all over again. When Darren deploys to Iraq during the surge of 2007, he leaves behind his loving and supportive wife, Heather, and their three small children. Their marriage is the envy of the base, both believing strongly in the calling to serve in the military. Darren knows he’s there to support the troops in their darkest moments as their chaplain, but what he doesn’t realize is that he will face his own dark moments, which will have lasting effects on his marriage. Meanwhile, Heather is creating a community among the other wives and families left behind. She rallies support back home, realizing the dangers the men and women serving overseas are facing, but she also begins to notice a change in Darren during their brief conversations. When he returns, he is no longer the man who left-the man Heather married. His greatest fear is letting her down, but instead of opening up to her, he shuts her out. Their marriage was so strong before. But how can they get back to where they were . . . or find a new way forward? Indivisible is a story of sacrifice, marriage, and faith that will leave audiences full of hope even amid their most challenging times.

More about Indivisible

This book is based on a true story, so we’d love for readers and moviegoers to meet the real Darren and Heather Turner: Darren and Heather Turner both grew up in Georgia, and met in 1999 when Darren was working in campus ministry at the University of Georgia. (Darren is still a Bulldog at heart.) Heather was working as a recruiter for an organization that sends English teachers overseas, and Darren had just returned from a year teaching English in Mongolia when they met. Married that same year, they served another six years together in campus ministry and added three children to their family. Through the husband of a friend of Heather’s, Darren learned that opportunities existed for service as a military chaplain. In 2006, Darren completed seminary, was commissioned in the Army, and deployed almost immediately. Their family’s experiences from this timeframe are the basis of the new movie INDIVISIBLE. Darren, who is on active duty, and Heather are passionate about serving military families, marriage counseling, and leading marriage retreats. The Turners currently live in North Carolina with their children Elie, Samuel, and Meribeth. Learn more about the Turners! [Embed video from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfRiNtTXknY]

My Review

I loved Indivisible. It is based on a true story involving Army Chaplain, Darren Turner, and his wife, Heather. The Turners have a beautiful family and has an inspiring faith in God. However, their world is turned upside down when he is deployed to Iraq. Heather tries to keep it together without Darren and tries to help other spouses to cope. While Darren, experiences horrors and tragedies that no one should have to. Both go through changes that they had not expected. What happens when they are finally reunited. 

Indivisible is one book that I believe everyone should read. Especially, military spouses. They would find this story relatable and, also, find comfort. It covers variety of issues, including, post traumatic stress disorder, how to ask for help, and always keep faith in God - He always lead you to where you belong. 

I would give Indivisible one hundred if I could. I highly highly recommend it.
