Story4.5 out of 5 stars 780
Birmingham, Alabama, has lost all power. Its streets are jammed with cars that won’t start, and its airport is engulfed in flames from burning planes. All communications—cell phones, computers, even radios—are silent. Every home and business is dark. Is it a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or something far worse?

Rare to find good Christian -sci fi!

Books like that make me feel good about being an actual Christian!
It's not so simple for most of us to be Christians especially in hard times. the characters reflect what happens when the Bible has to be applied in real life situations especially when your own survival is at stake.
Christians also experience shame, pride, and fear. We're trying to live our lives as Christ would. The Branning family in this book struggled with this and it made me glad to know I'm not alone.
The author is a true novelist and makes the book humorous, amorous and a blessing to those who read it.
I love the series!

I hate history, and i hate long books. This book is long and is about historic events, but it's SO good! it intertwines these families and their love lives and romance, and attitudes, that only Ken Follet could write! he makes me want to go back to the 1940s even just for a moment!
John lee's Narration was superb, the voices, the accents, the attitude! i love this book~!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9,552
It is The Campus. Secretly created under the administration of President Jack Ryan, its sole purpose is to eliminate terrorists and those who protect them. Officially, it has no connection to the American government - a necessity in a time when those in power consider themselves above such arcane ideals as loyalty, justice, and right or wrong.

I chose this book because i fell in love with the characters from "tryin to sleep in the bed you made" and the narrator.
this narration was awful all the characters sounded the same. high pitched distinctions for the kid characters in the book seemed a bit forced.
I really just wanted to find out what happened to Gayle and Pat, but couldn't even get through it :( sorry ladies.

The beloved #1 Essence best-selling authors of Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made now deliver a novel in which you'll meet their most unforgettable characters yet. Carmen, Jewel, and Regina could not be more different. When they meet as freshmen at Columbia University, they're pretty confident that a friendship among them isn't in the cards.

Jenny Blake has a theory about life: big decisions often don't amount to much, but little decisions sometimes transform everything. Her theory proves true the summer she's 14, when she makes the decision to pick up a penny embedded in asphalt and consequently ends up stopping a robbery, getting a job, and meeting someone who changes her life forever: Miss Shaw.

Ths Book spoke to my inner child and made me love God again. Knowing that someone else could've have survived that life and move forward made me hopeful. Jesus must love me. This book reminded me of that.
