Times of Turmoil! I thought was a great inspirational about what we as Christians may be facing yet and much harder times ...

I fave this book five stars for such an interesting and intriguing story! It sure keeps ken wanting to come back again and again ,wondering what This Michael is going to be doing nest to mess up our USA, Christians, Jews, farmers and oil drillers,etc. I I liked it for what I have already stated in the above sentences. I didn't really see anything in his book that I didn't like except maybe what this wicked grandpa and his grandson is wanting to do to our country and God's own people here in the USA and Isarel where God's own precious people are about to be killed too in the long run according to what the author has been saying in his book which seems to me has already begun. I recommend this book for those who like to read about the end times and as a thriller,too! There is NO bad language in this book whatsoever so anyone can read it and enjoy it,ok? I received this book free in exchange for reviews! Great work Cliff!

I had a hard time getting into this. It seems a lot like reading a history book to me and I loathed history. My husband were he still alive would likely have loved this book and wanted to read all books by this author, Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Kat

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. The characters are like paper dolls, there's no depth to them at all. They say things at times that no one would ever say. Scenes change abruptly, leaving you cold. Both positive Christian scenes are handled dryly, as are negative cold blooded murders. News reports have more emotion in them. It's full of conspiracy theory stuff, so maybe someone who's into that might like it. I was honestly glad it was over as I didn't enjoy reading it at all. I won't be reading anything else by this author.

This was a very good story filled with historical events that were manipulated by one man. It was so believable that it made me wonder if it could really have happened that way. Is it truth or fiction? How could anyone be that cold hearted? At first it was like reading a history book but it kept drawing me in and wondering what was going to happen next. It kept getting better and better. I couldn't stop reading it. This was a really great read and I hated to see it end.

Evans vs. Atwoods

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013

Times of Turmoil: A Christian Thriller by Cliff Ball

This story begins during World War II. It's a story about two families, the Evans family and the Atwood family. The Evans family is evil while the Atwood family is Christian, so therefore good. While the Evans are intent on world domination, the Atwoods are intent on promoting Christ.

As the story progresses, the Evans become more and more powerful, killing anyone who gets in their way, while the Atwoods are peace-loving and just trying to live their lives.

But early on in the story one of the Evans falls in love with one of the Atwoods and becomes a Christian. From that point on, the Evans head decides he will find a way to corrupt one of the Atwoods.

The Evans world domination scheme goes as planned. It follows what we are currently seeing in world events, but glosses over the current battle over our Bill of Rights, and simply pushes gun control through as if they could. Because of the Bill of Rights, the fight for the destruction of the freedoms the United States enjoys is still going on, while in the book, it's all settled and done.

This is a very Christian book. All of the Christian men act the same. They say practically the same things and they have no struggles with their faith. All of the women shed tears at appropriate moments while the men remain stoic. They are cookie-cutter Christians. They all spout the Roman road at appropriate times, and they all believe in the rapture.

By the same token, the evil Evans family men are all emotionless people who want to "corrupt." No one is a "good Nazi," meaning, not one of them acts like what they are doing is moral and just. They are all cookie-cutter evil people.

As a Christian, as a person who has led people to the Lord, who has been married nearly fifty years and has had no affairs, who can preach a salvation message, who holds the Word of God dear to her heart, I am offended by this book. It was not a thriller. It was too predictable all the way through. And it tells nothing about the struggle we all face with the evil around us.

As a Christian, I still struggle daily in my walk with the Lord. None of the Atwoods do. I'm as unpredictable as a summer storm. But you can record what one of them says, and play it back for the rest. The same with the Evans.

I would not recommend this book for any non-Christian for fear they would think that's what all of us are like. The salvation message and the marriage ceremonies are real. They're the only things in this book that are.

As a result, I can only give this book two stars, two because the author knows how to use the English language very well. But I also give him only two because he knows too little about crafting a story.

This book was kind of like reading the daily newspaper, and it sure gives you a lot to think about concerning daily events and the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I would recommend this book to all Christians; plus, I believe it would be beneficial for everyone to read.

Tangled web....

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

The history of the downfall of the USA is summarized in the first 2/3 of the book, with the last third becoming more fictional. The evil Gregory Evans plots from an early age to control the world, and I could not help but see the face of one George Soros as I read since the time line paralleled his life to a certain degree. All very plausible and believable even though the writing was somewhat simplistic. However, it was easy to follow and was a "fast read". Quite a few editing errors marred the continuity somewhat. I will read another in this, The End Times Saga.

The older I get the less time I have for all the meandering around you sometimes get in novels. Get to the point & tell me what's happening - this story rocks along and given the state of the world today, it's not so far fetched, either. It's not an expensive book (and boy have I been done by some really expensive books I've bought over the years.) Well worth a couple of pounds for a quick read.

Absolutely awful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've not given a bad review before, but this is worth it. As a quick reader I persevered in the hope it would get better. As I'm a Christian and I enjoy End of Time books I thought this would be enjoyable, but I was wrong. I honestly cannot tell if this was propaganda from an extreme right -wing American Christian, or it's written propaganda from an Atheist in order to make Christians look stupid. Either way, avoid. It incorporates recent history, but does so skewed and biased, and doesn't understand science. And calling the NHS in England awful and hated is so very very wrong (yes, I'm British too and there ate currently protests to SAVE the NHS because we do not want an American style system).
So even if it's offered for free, don't bother. I'm for one not going to waste my time on the rest of the series.

I hate writing bad reviews and I apologise to the author, realising how much work, blood and sweat goes into putting together a novel. This book is just not for me, I'm afraid. I found it moved too quickly, listing historical facts more than an actual storyline.
