Tim LaHaye & Craig Parshall in their new book, "Brink of Chaos" Book Three in The End series published by Zondervan brings us back into the life of Joshua Jordan.From the back cover: In the third book of The End series, Joshua Jordan remains in Israel during his self-imposed `exile' out of the reach of U.S. authorities who have trumped-up false criminal treason charges against him. His wife, Abigail, continues to lead the Roundtable to prove the innocence of her husband. Following the nuclear attack by Russia, Israel is cleaning up the bodies of dead enemy soldiers for 7 months and setting out on its 7 year plan--both per the prophecies in Ezekiel. As corruption in high government offices threaten to block the election of a worthy presidential candidate by all means necessary--including the unthinkable--Israel's leadership is tempted to sign a `peace' proposal initiated by the UN under the authority of Coliquin. After he discusses this plan with Pastor Peter Campbell, Joshua is convinced Coliquin may well be the prophesied Anti-Christ and that his peace plan is a trap to destroy Israel. Are the recurring dreams Joshua has had about the coming rapture from God. And is the end sooner than anyone expects?Political upheaval, biological weapons and a global threat are just some of the ingredients that are the recipe for "Brink of Chaos". You know what that means, right? Yes, Joshua Jordan is back in "Brink of Chaos" and this book is even more of a thriller than the first two books combined. Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall have given us a roller coaster ride of suspense, danger, adventure and politics that will keep you flipping pages as fast as you can read them. Unlike a previous series by Dr. LaHaye this series is set not to far from where we are today. Dr.
Brink of Chaos is a well-written novel filled with action as well as suspense. There are characters who are protagonists, but not all are believers in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Antagonists are present as well, but are not necessarily opposed to the Messiah coming again. In the story, as in real life, some of the characters represent seekers, others represent doubters, and some want proof before they believe. It was somewhat eerie reading this as a novel because the political, economic, and spiritual climate portrayed is somewhat a mirror of how life is today. This is the third and most likely the last installment in this series entitled "The End". There are previous installments that a reader might want to read before reading Brink of Chaos. The theme of Christ's second return is most prominent as the different plots are all aligning to converge on that occurrence. Author Tim LaHaye places weight upon another theme running through the story, which is the event known as the rapture. I personally don't hold to this belief of the believers escaping the Tribulation, but the novels are enjoyable nonetheless. The Jordan family is prominent in this book as they are in the first two novels. Joshua is a former Air Force pilot who happens to also have exceptional engineering knowledge which he uses to protect America from her enemies. The group which Joshua and his wife Abigail have started is called the Roundtable and is instrumental in a host of ways in the fight against evil. Abigail was a lawyer who had spent more time until recently working with the Roundtable, but now finds herself thrust center stage in the fight. What areas does she fight in? Be careful not to assume before reading the book!
