I
am so glad that I did not let my initial reaction to this story keep
me from reading on. I went from thinking it was a far-fetched
futuristic tale to believing that this, or something like it, could
truly be in our country's future, if not in our lifetime, then our
children's.
Thrasher
has created a future United States in which hate speech laws have
been used to silence Christians, and social media has been eliminated
after becoming a tool for spreading hate. Instead we see a society
largely void of God and made up of people with implanted chips in
their brains rather than smart phones in their hands, a society
manipulated by technology and those behind it. Within this society is
a group of people led by someone who goes by the name of Reckoner
among other code names. Few have seen Reckoner, and many have not met
one another, but they are working toward a common goal: to awaken
Americans to the ways in which they are being manipulated and to the
coming wrath of God as well as the reality of His grace to those who
truly believe in Jesus Christ.
Thrasher
is a very talented writer, one with a deep and worthwhile message.
Prepare to have your world rocked! I am grateful to have received a
copy of American Omens
from Multnomah via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was
under no obligation to write a positive review and received no
monetary compensation.
