Publisher's Summary

The line between their world and ours is thinner than we think....

The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has become a gateway for the supernatural - from sightings of angels and a weeping crucifix to a self-proclaimed prophet with an astounding message.

The national media and the curious all flock to the little town - a great boon for local business but not for Travis Jordan. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that has eternal consequences.

Very good

Overall it was a good book with a good story line. It was a bit strange because it was written in first person, but once you go used to that it was ok. It lagged at times, but overall I enjoyed it.

This review is for non-christians

I got this book because it was on sale and it looked supernatural. Did not expect 50 billion mentions of Jesus. Good lord. If you can supplement bad writing, and bad fiction with mentions of Jesus, God, and the church to get published, then I would advise all young writers to do so.
I hope audible adds a Christian tag to this, just so people like me can avoid these types of books because this was an annoying listen. I never speed up the read speed. But I did for this one 2x.
The antagonist's sudden change to a bad guy was badly done, even divine intervention could not make that transition good.
And let us talk about the protagonist. Are there really people who do what the protagonist did in his early years? Are people that stupid?

So to end this. If you are Christian, this review is not for you, and you will probably love this book.

If you aren't this is one of the most badly written messes I've ever read, and I would suggest you stay away from this like it has the plague. Basic, Bad, and too preachy when it comes to any mention of religion. I would use pedantic to describe it as well, useless meandering into any mention of religion.
