Never quite sure what I was reading: a political thriller or an apocalyptic novel with bad dispensational theology.

This isn't my typical genre. I knew going into the story that it would have many references to prayer and Scripture, so that wasn't a turn-off as it might be for some wishing for a political thriller without a religious message. I found it intriguing, and it definitely has me motivated to study the prophetic passages relating to the End Times. A page-turner!

Jon and Erin are at the Kremlin when a coup takes place. Both are captured. Jon is sent home, but Erin is kept and tortured. Meanwhile, signs are showing that the prophecy in Ezekiel 36-38 is about to unfold. Jon heads back to Moscow to try and find Erin.

So far, it is good, but there is a lot of God and the rapture talk...

I did not expect this series to veer off in the direction it did - one minute I was reading a Tom Clancy-esque political thriller, and then I gradually found myself lost in Tim LeHaye's "Left Behind"-land. I am a Christian, and I do believe in biblical prophecies of the last days, but I had a hard time taking "The Ezekiel Option" seriously. I applaud Rosenberg for attempting to write a mainstream novel that incorporated Christian end-of-the-world ideas. My problem with the series was that it started off so normally, and then suddenly took on a new identity. I know Rosenberg wrote a fourth volume, but I doubt I'll read it.

Strong characters. Interesting plot. Too much prophesy and long speeches. Conclusion comes too quickly, but leaves you curious what will come next for John and Erin.

I read this book when I went to D.C. on a school trip, and suddenly everything came alive even more so as I read it. I have shared the prophecy about the end times with my mother and she loved it. Who could ever stop reading? The rest of the books in the series are just as amazing!

Wow, how fitting with our current political conflict with Russia. Seriously scary but I guess the truth is at times. Must read series!
