Rapture with a capital C
Relatively lavish faith-based disaster movie which has somehow managed to land the services of a few people you may actually have heard of. Panic and chaos ensue when millions of people vanish in the blink of an eye; Nicolas Cage is stuck flying a plane looking for a place to land, on the ground his daughter runs around trying to work out what's happening. The final revelation (sorry) is telegraphed very early on by endless discussions of sin and religion.

Like most faith-based movies this is crippled by its own earnestness and didacticism; some ultra-low-budget action does not help much, and is strikingly poorly directed given Vic Armstrong is (in his own words) 'the world's greatest stuntman'. Unlikely to convince the undecided of either the essential truth of Christianity or the long-term prospects of Nicolas Cage's acting career.

I really have enjoyed both books by [James Wesley Rawles] that I have read. [Survivors] describes people trying to survive and take care of those they care about after an economic collapse. Sadly this is a very conceivable idea. All the main characters were of strong faith and that was in important part of the story but not all were Christian which was a breath of fresh air.

Incredible plot (3 more)
Beautiful writing
Nuanced philosophical dilemma
Dynamic characters
Science meets Religion and has a two way conversation
Truly an incredible book, it is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something new. The reconciliation of religion and science has never been so beautifully scifi.

As someone raised without religion, this was still an incredible read, and truly made me see the beauty in both hard science and faith.

When I read the description I was heartbroken. The love story between Chandler and Faith was perfect! But, I know life changes and so do we, so I wanted to see what happened. Mitchell again does a flawless job with well developed characters and creating emotions that, as a reader, I could feel. It is easy to get immersed in these books. Also, good to remember that everything changes.

Inspiring. Very uplifting. I feel like buying a couple of people in my life this book. I feel a little better about life and faith in general just from reading this book. I don't typically read religious books or things of that nature because I know very little about the topics contained therein. However, I am super glad I read this. I would recommend it to every person I know.
