American Omens: The Coming Fight for Faith by Travis Thrasher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

American Omens by Travis Thrasher seems to give a glimpse of what our future might look like! It’s a bit terrifying to think that might be true. In our lives we have always enjoyed freedom, freedom to speak and freedom to believe what we know to be true. What if the world is turned upside down, what are old truths have suddenly become against the law. What if your faith is suddenly against the law. It doesn’t seem as far fetched now as it might have a couple decades ago.
.
In this world we meet three main characters. First is Cheyenne, she is an algorithm creator. We are in the future where everyone has an internal technology, this is frightening in itself, she works for the top technology firm and is unaware of what her programs are actually doing.
On her way to work one day she is handed a note from her father, missing for some time since he converted to Christianity. Now she doesn’t know what to do and what is really going on in the world, but she is suddenly thrust into the world of the Reckoner, she is about to find out what is really happening.
.
Next we meet Will, he is closing his business, a bookstore. A Christian, he has been hassled and is now out of business for selling prohibited books. His family is in debt, his bookstore is closing, his marriage is frazzled. What does the stranger he meets when closing up shop for good want? He is about to be thrust into the world of the Reckoner too.
.
We meet Agent Dowland, an FBI Agent bent on destroying the Reckoner.

The Reckoner is trying to wake up the world so they see what is going on with the internal technology, being told what they like, what they want, and get them to turn back to God.
.
This book is full of suspense, danger, and a lot of fear for the future. With the course we are on right now it doesn’t seem as impossible as one would hope. What we can do is pray. Pray that our freedom to worship the One True God is never challenged, never outlawed. The way the technology companies are going, it seems they have already judged Christians, and this is very scary.
.
I would recommend this book for every Christian to read. It may seem far-fetched, sci-fi even but is holds some truth, we need to hold on to our right to religious freedom at any cost.

I received an uncorrected proof copy from the publisher but was under no obligation to write a review.
