Item Description...
What do you get when Islamic terrorists and White-Supremacists go up against a small group of Bible believers in the hills of East Tennessee?
Debi Pearl's newest book, The Vision, is a fast paced, emotionally charged love story between the industrious Asher and the beautiful Cheyenne, who, along with their friends, share a vision to reach the lost and dying world before fast approaching apocalyptic events make publishing the gospel impossible.
The Vision is a thriller with a suspenseful blend of fiction and nonfiction which incorporates actual historical records, current earth science, recent medical and herbal discoveries, today's international news, and crucial Biblical prophecy, and the author's imaginative and vivid storytelling takes you on a ride so real that you will find it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
You will be swallowed up in a world of natural herbal brews, looming threats of volcanic eruption, struggles to overcome terrorists, and consuming grief when tragedy strikes one of their most beloved. Through it all, you will come to share their eternal vision.
For the studious researcher, the information boxes at the bottom of the pages make this novel a launching pad into a wide range of knowledge.
It is the enchanting love story of Asher, a man driven with a vision, and the beautiful Cheyenne, an herbalist.
It is a fast-paced, carefully-woven tapestry of spiritual intrigue, human frailties, and God's divine intervention.
It is a shocking picture of what the extremist terrorist sects are now doing to spread their religion through force of violence.
It is a nerve-racking revelation of the most menacing volcano on planet earth Yellowstone.

This is a rather extreme book, and I expect that people will either love it or hate it. I don't know that I "hate" it but I was definitely disappointed by it. I have never written a book, so I acknowledge that I might not do any better if I ever tried. I am saying that to make the point that I am not intending to bash the author; rather, I am writing what I wish I had known about the book before buying it.
I purchased this book with the teens at our church in mind who love to read. I reject most of today's "romantic" fiction because I find it often rather carnal, even if it is considered "Christian", and I fear teen girls will get the wrong impression and see life through rose colored glasses. I had hoped that Mrs. Pearl would write a book that is more realistic, without the sensual romance, and spiritually uplifting to read. I did not get what I was looking for.
I am familiar with much of the Pearls material, "To Train Up A Child", "Created to be His Helpmeet", and I regularly read their newsletter. Many of the statements the Pearls have made in their previous publications show up in this book - unfortunately, mostly the extreme ones.
I have read their concept that children should be told the negative things about sin, in order to be frightened away from it. While I agree with that in principle, the book takes it pretty far. We read the thoughts of a stalker wanting to make a girl "scream" and about the specific brutality a man uses on a prostitute. If the book were turned into a movie it would be rated R for violence. You decide whether you want your teens, or yourself, to read things like that in a Christian fiction book.
Mrs. Pearl seems to be very strong on the influence of a wife in the family. Again, I principally agree, but Mrs. Pearl is strikingly unforgiving. A homeschooling family experiences trouble in their church - nothing new under the sun. The wife is described as griping too much about it at home. Certainly not a good quality, true. The consequences are smashing: her husband quits church all together and joins a White Supremacist group. The wife then tries to talk him out of it, but suddenly her oh-so-powerful influence is all gone. Apparently, she can influence him only to the worse, not to the better. What about the husband: did he not have a reason of his own to attend church? Did he not want to obey God because he was a Christian? Did he only go because his wife liked the church? Did he not have enough spirituality or backbone to say to his wife, "I disagree with you in this point; you're wrong for talking like that?" No telling. Apparently his spiritual life hinged entirely on his wife; when she failed to do right he collapsed.
The book has a rather bleak setting: Muslims have taken over America; American cities have taken on Sharia law; the police is permeated with White Supremacists; going to the local police for justice is useless [the Feds apparently can help in selected cases]; protection is possible only by moving into a warehouse surrounded by a fence and surveillance cameras. Store-bought yoghurt should rather be called "death-by-40 disease" and apparently the theology of salvation is so difficult that even a girl who has been working at a Christian place for years is still confused about it.
But then, to be honest, this bleak setting isn't the only thing in the book. Of course, God is at work, too, right? There are positive points, right? Well, yes, but unfortunately, I have some problems with those as well.
When the stalker kills a dog by kicking him with his boots [ - imagine for a moment the bloody picture such a dog would present], the mother pulls out an herbal potion and makes the dog come back to life [!]. Did the herbs cure the crushed skull too? I suppose so. The mother is awakened at night only to hear the audible voice of God tell her step-by-step what to do; elderly people see angels to comfort them; and there is a revival with Muslim girls singing a Christian song [one that they have never heard before!!] on a public square in Iran.
Unfortunately, the working of God is described as so unrealistic in this book that I wouldn't want to give it to my teenagers for that reason either because I don't want them to be discouraged for not experiencing this glorious (and rather exaggerated) work of God in their own lives.
If you are prepared to leave reality and realism and don't mind quite a fantastic story, this book might be a blessing to you. If you want to support the Pearls' ministry, make a donation - skip the book.

Exciting and suspenseful, a must read for those that know the end times are near. I read it in 3-4 days. WOW I'm ready for the second book to this series. I hope it comes out soon.

| This was a super book... my favorite part about the book was the way it incorporated scripture into the book with excellent explanations! This book was very hard to put down! I can't wait for the next book in this series. | | | | Great book! Oct 20, 2009 |
| This is a very interesting and informative novel. I finished it feeling like it was time well spent. It gives insight into some of the Muslim practice, and is scary thinking that this type of thing could actually happen in our country. I'm looking forward to the next book! | | | | excellent book Oct 18, 2009 |
| Inspiring book and with many useful information on both the herb remedies and Biblical interpretation on many difficult topics. It really makes one think! | | | Write your own review about Vision
