These books were purchased for a women's book club at our church. They are stories about an average man who is given prophesies from God about specific future events, how these events come to pass, and how other story characters try to thwart the spreading of these warnings to all. The characters surrounding and supporting this average man are sympathetic and likeable. The "bad" guys are not presented as complex as they could be. But all-in-all I enjoyed both books and found them both to be a "fast read" and entertaining. The story lines are believable.
