The Seraph Seal. a book review 
"An epic narrative of sound and evil based on the four horsemen of the Apocalypse found in Revelation.
I am a fan of enigma and Christian fiction, so this book seemed to pass right into my lap. The introduction / preface was too long as it was stressful to excuse the character of book. This just set me up for yet more confusion.
The simple premise of the word is a fictitious story of the end times as writtenbyJohn in the word of Revelation.The year 2048 isTHE end times;the sun is moving nearer to the world and the North and South Poles are relocating. Both of these occurrences, along with political agitation in all countries, spurs the end of earth.
Reverse in sentence to 21 Dec 2012.Nine people are born on this engagement at just 9:00 PM worldwide. Four will show in the new heaven and the new earth, while the former four will take it to complete and complete destruction. The fifth person, Paul Binder, brings the four "good" together. Can they win over evil?
I enjoyed the book, but ever felt as though I had to reread sections to make certain of the characters, setting, etc. The authors introduce many characters and settings throughout the book, and alter settings / characters numerous times within the same chapter. Perhaps Sweet and Wagner felt that jumping from different sets of characters and settings so quickly helped spur the book to the last scene. Also, if this is a story of respectable and evil based on the Holy Bible book of Revelation, why are other supposedly spiritual books referenced and referred to - like the Kabbalah and others? Furthermore, I was expecting morescripture interspersed to help explain / discuss what was happening in the storyline.
The authors included notes and current information at the end of the book. Since I was reading a digital edition, I didn't get them until the end of the book. Many of the notes seemed to speak in riddles or circles.
This e-book was provided to me free through Thomas Nelson Publishers (Booksneeze.com)with the reason that I have an honest review.
Book Description from the publisher -
Using the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to represent the four Gospels, four transcendentals, and four forces of the universe (air, water, earth, and fire), Sweet and Wagner weave a fast-paced, end-times story of good vs. evil and the call of a new dawn for humanity.
Set in 2048, when planet Earth is wretched from the negative effects of days of abuse and abuse, cultural history professor Paul Binder receives a secret letter that leads him to examine a lost 2nd-century Diatessaron manuscript. Ancient prophecies, cryptic letters, and unusual events set him on a line to reveal the missing clues that could lead mankind into a new age. Layered with forgotten symbolism from the ancient, Jewish, and Christian traditions, the new is a case of engaged fiction in which the primary character's lost journal serves as a guide to the reviewer in interpreting clues and reason the novel's conclusion."
