AMERICAN OMENS by TRAVIS THRASHER is a book in which the author deals with corruption in high places, and we see an escalation of wickedness in a country (America in 2038) where godlessness is rife and technology has been pushed to frightening extremes. There is neither peace not privacy as wicked men use technology to not only infiltrate people's lives but also to control everything about them.The story starts in Chicago, a city which is compared to Sodom and Gomorrah. It is in this city that a man who goes by the name Reckoner, a modern day prophet, and a group of Christians, use this technology to get God's message across to the people. This takes faith and courage as Christianity and Christian morality have been banned as "hate speech" and judgmentalism, and the men and women who stand for the truth of God's word are in very real danger of being murdered. Will this message be enough to turn the population back to God before it is too late?
I like the characters - both the good and bad are well portrayed. The book is an excellent study of human nature.
The author shows the dangers of complacency and spreading a merely social gospel. There are many quotes from Scripture, especially from the book of Zephaniah, which are very apt for the situation in the world today.
This book is a wake up call for believers and I feel it is a "must read" for anyone who is serious in his or her commitment to the Lord. Obedience to the call of the Holy Spirit is the key.
