My Review:

Apocalyptic books can be hit or miss. It's not necessarily my favorite topic. However, this shorter book didn't hold back at all. In a not too unthinkable, yet terrifying, cashless society where the AI has taken over managing humanity, we meet Josh and come to care about the disaster he's been swept up into. You do have to go with the premise that the Rapture has occurred and these are the folks stuck on Earth after it happened. It's very well written and has lots of good vs evil and a look at what the anti-Christ could be like. In some ways I was glad it was a shorter read, because this happens to be a difficult  topic for me. I would recommend it for adults, and if it's read with an older teenager that an adult and Bible study is included because this is a heavy hitting book, but it has a clear layout of the Gospel in it.
