Danny and Alisa's lives are turned upside down when Danny begins having prophetic dreams about the judgment coming upon America. Through one of Danny’s dreams, they learn about the imminent threat of an EMP attack which will wipe out America’s electric grid, sending the country into a technological dark age.

Living in a nation where life-sustaining systems of support are completely dependent on electricity and computers, the odds for survival are dismal. Municipal water services, retail food distribution, police, fire, EMS and emergency services will come to a screeching halt.

If they want to live through the most catastrophic period in American history, Danny and Alisa will have to race against time to get prepared, before the lights go out.

Buy your copy of Behold Darkness and Sorrow and jump into this post-apocalyptic, survival-fiction thriller, today!

As with all books by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and biblical references, this book might not be for you.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark Goodwin is an avid student of the Holy Bible and spends several hours each week devoted to the study of Scripture and the prophecies contained therein. The troubling trends in the moral, social, political, and financial landscapes have prompted Mark to conduct extensive research within the arena of preparedness. He weaves his knowledge of prophecy, economics, politics, and survival into an action-packed tapestry of post-apocalyptic fiction. Having been a sinner saved by grace himself, the story of redemption is a prominent theme in all of Mark’s writings.

“He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” Psalm 40:2

Love the Lord and love the authors fiction writing. No garbage filth in the books and that is a blessing. Highly recommend all his books...can hardly put them down once the character line information is established. Remember, if you have issues with the story line, just read the Word and know that he is writing a story. If you want the exact biblical information... read the BIBLE--God's word.

Grabs you right away and keeps you guessing what will happen next clear to the last page.
I am very disappointed about the '67 Camaro though. I totally expected someone to come along and fix it until it clicked then I new it spun a bearing around the crank.
Good adventures the rest of the way to Nana's.

This Author is my absolute favorite! This story will draw you in at the very beginning and keep your attention until the very end, where you find yourself
Someone disappointed that it’s over!
Fear not, there will be more characters, more stories, more GOD, leading you through the next story. For while the stories are fictional, GODs WORD is Eternally true…The BLOOD OF JESUS still washes clean. I love that there is truth in every story!

Thank you, Mark, for your books. I have read The Days of Noah, The Days of Elijah, SevenCows,Ugly and I finished The Seven Cows, Ugly and Gaunt series last night, and I'm ordering the American Wasteland series tonight. Can't wait until they get here! I'm a 76 year old grandmother and I really appreciate that Mark is a Christian, and you can't miss that in his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Christian Survival Story

Disclaimer: Pagan Reviewer

Behold, Darkness and Sorrow is exceptional. The evolving storyline was able to showcase believable and managable steps for different levels of emergency. The characters were well written. The two different family dynamics were an excellent juxtaposition to each other.

This is a Christian survival story. For those wondering, yes, there are Bible verses threaded throughout. It straddles the line between Apocalyptic fiction and Bible study primer. I think Behold handled this fantastically well. Yes, it is honest to goodness Christianity, what do you expect? I find myself baffled by some of the other reviewers. It is what it says on the tin.

If you are not a Christian and are game to read something from a different viewpoint, this is a good one to chose! If you don't wish to read Christian fiction, pass this one by.

All in all 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid dystopian
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Overlall I enjoyed this EMP collapse tale. I enjoyed it b/c it was character driven and entertaining without too much violence, no sex, no rapes, no swearing etc. Although I do read dark fiction, its nice to take a break from that and read something that is not just some insane violence, cannibal-fest. Most of the negative reviews seem to be people that just can't stand reading a book with characters trying to follow the traditional bible path. I find this pathetic as a fiction reader, I read lots of books that have protagonists that commit massive amounts of violence. Most people that read any dystopian fiction have read a ton of horrific stuff. But people want to complain about this book b/c it's too preachy for them? I just suspsended my disbelief and became interested in the characters and their religious journey. I've read thousands of books with characters from many religions and hundreds of made up religions--this doesn't make me dislike a book. So I think most people can't put their politics aside, and just can't stand characters that express faith in God in no uncertain terms. I think its ridiculous to get irritated about characters faith, this is fiction! If you can't handle reading about traditional Christians and can only handle reading about characters that are cool with abortion, or anti-gun etc, I think you have some serious issues. Fiction books tell stories, I don't get ticked off when I read Tolkien b/c they use magic, or kill people with swords, or the hobbits smoke...just crazytown. So for those that can enjoy fiction and don't take characters driven by the bible as a personal insult, you likely will enjoy this one. If not, there are plenty of cannibal biker gang rapist dystopian books out there--if for some reason books filled with that stuff is somehow much more palatable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Mark Goodwin

Another great book by Mark Goodwin. I have read every other series he has put out up to this, so obviously I appreciate his work as a whole, but I really feel like he is getting better and better with each book and series. This is creative and interesting, the dream sequences are extremely well done, the characters are engaging and he does a good job making you care about them, and the story is exciting. I also appreciate that the author is good at incorporating the Bible and Christianity in such a way that is unashamed, but natural. I hope more people interested in the "post-apocalyptic" and "prepper" genre pick up this series and give the content the same consideration spiritually as they do practically. Being prepared for what may come physically is good, but being prepared for what will come physically is even more important.
