Refinished Sa 9/17/16
This is one of my books that I originally finished Sa 1/20/07 and I bought it at the West Branch for a dollar. My comment on the book was 'Claptrap'. However, I liked it much more the second time through.
Jim Kraus is an author from Illinois and he writes Christian books.
Reverend Jerry Moses
The Temple of God's Calling
Stonefort, Il is where the novel is set
Although I liked it better this time, the writing is still only to the level of Young Adult.
Interesting Idea-
Christians in the time of an unprecedented international turmoil and must grapple with the concept of 'end of times'. Probably it was really a very large solar flare that coincided with bad earthquakes all over the globe, but not The Second Coming.
Tom- screenwriter from Malibu, CA
Megan- stock broker from NYC. The breakdown prevented her from being busted for illegal trading.
Peter- small farmer from southern Illinois, a few miles from Stonefort. A true Christian.
Peter and Linda Wilson- daughter, Becca. Linda sings for the temple and 'kidnapped' by Rev Moses. Her voice on the radio is responsible for the hordes that are attracted to The Garden.
William- Catholic priest; brings Megan from NYC
Elijah- Old 'holy man' brings Tom from California
Ernie and Mike- vigilantees from Arizona who follow Tom to Stonefort to rob him of the gold.
Revelations- Tom's dog; originally belonged to Calvin. This was a Christian friend of Tom's before the breakdown. He wants Tom to take his well equipped Hummer to Las Vegas to give a large quantity of gold to his ex wife. He left her badly at the start of his career; he want forgiveness for his act and thinks that the gold will give her a new start. She had become a junkie and a prostitute.
