Are you a fan of the Left Behind Series? Are you a fan of Frank Peretti's novels? Wouldn't it be great it they were combined to make something truly unforgettable and life changing? Well MaryLu Tyndall has done just that in her latest novel When Angels Cry. It takes the spiritual warfare aspects of the unseen world we live in but most of us have no idea is happening all around us, and blends it in a futuristic End Times setting for her characters. Each chapter of the novel opens in a great Biblical scripture that highlights where these events spoken about in this novel can be found and even had myself opening up my own Bible to highlight these scripture references.
Angelica Smoke has the unique ability to be able to see into the Spiritual realm and can see exactly what is going on in the world around her that others don't. Working at the Mermaid Den as a cocktail waitress in a seedy bar where demons surround the customers she waits on, God reveals things to her as she spreads the gospel message and prays for those she serves. Often times, this results in salvation for that individual but in most cases she is simply planting seeds in their hearts. As a single mom, she has to do all she can to help raise her son Isaac, alongside her roommate Leigh and her son Joel. While Leigh still doesn't believe in God, Angelica keeps trying to convince her that what is happening in the world around them is all predicted by the Bible.
Daniel Cain is pastor of the Mega Church, Fort Lauderdale Church of Grace, and has worked his entire life to build up his flock, alongside his best friend Thomas. He believes in an inclusive church over the exclusive churches that have now been outlawed. Using the reformed Bible, the NWLV, New World Love Version, he believes his goals is to fill the seats, while giving them the message of God's love and grace over repenting over sin, and being saved. Despite the violate world around him, he is pushing for a position in Washington, perhaps even being a part of the New World Order heading up combining all into a single religion. He just doesn't expect his perfect world to come crashing down when Angelica comes back into his life. It's been 12 years since they were an item but both of them have changed and those old feelings will have to be pushed back despite the prophetic message that she brings to him, that he is not ready. Just what is that supposed to mean?
I received When Angels Cry by MaryLu Tyndall compliments of Random Press and the author. In accordance with the new FTC Guidelines for blogging and endorsements, you should assume that every book reviewed here at Reviews From The Heart was provided to the reviewer by the publisher, media group or the author for free and were received, unless specified otherwise. In a world where homeschooling is outlawed, home churches meet in secret, possession of an original Bible is cause for arrest, the times are getting shorter as the Bible has predicted. As angels sit back and watch the proceedings, they can only get involved if God allows it. So very few people are even aware how close they were to the end of days. A typical Saturday night at the Mermaid Den. Men and women numbing their pain and their consciences with alcohol until they gave way into every wicked impulse, opening the door to a multitude of demonic hosts lurking in the shadows. I love the way MaryLu uses events happening in our world today to highlight where we might be in biblical history pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ and the rapture prior to the Tribulation. This is such a wonderful MUST read book for anyone who is looking for a great novel that combines End Time Biblical Events and Spiritual Warfare all in one. For me, this one is a 5 out of 5 stars! I hope there is a second one coming soon!
