Her life takes a dramatic turn on a night when a man sneaks into her room and reads a file on her Facebook about a dream she had about a baby that she knew was baby Jesus and she was an old lady and when the lady that was holding the baby saw her looking at the baby she brought him to her and let her hold him in her weak arms.
When she did she felt the love from him that was greater and stronger then anything any body has ever imagined in their wildest and craziest dreams ever created or thought up. When the mysterious man finished reading the story he turned to the girl and brought out a syringe to stab into her arm and it would release a poison that would be untraceable.
Once he he went to insert it an invisible force came out of nowhere and stopped him from inserting the liquid but the man aimed and shot some of the liquid onto her hand and it entered her body. When she went to the hospital people were sent to kill her and the last time a man was sent to act like a personal guard and we he helped her escape when a group of guys came to attach the hospital to get to her they left the country with no one knowing were except for her guard and her.
When they travel to Africa to find Abby's true calling from God. When they got there they met sister Okoye and traveled all through Africa together and when the time came for Dylan to kill Abby he couldn't he liked her personality thought she was beautiful and didn't understand why the elders his bosses said he had to kill her because she is a threat to the entire world.
So instead of killing her he helped them escape from the other bad people who are trying to kill Abby and they went into the jungle and they tried to figure out how to change Dylan into a christian. And when they did they killed one of the elders and the police handled the rest. Jul 29, Neil rated it it was amazing Shelves: I thoroughly enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! It was an amazing book. It moved at a good pace, and it held my interest throughout the entire book.
It was literally a page-turner for me as I enjoyed the story. I also liked the author's concept of 'spiritual lineage' in the book. We are so focused on our biological heritage, yet never think about our spiritual heritage. It has spiritual warfare, lives being saved, God moving in miraculous ways, women having incredible visions, assassi I thoroughly enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! It has spiritual warfare, lives being saved, God moving in miraculous ways, women having incredible visions, assassins, secret societies, and suspense most every step of the way as Abby attempts to solve the mystery of why she is suddenly seeing the spirit world.
I do not even know what to say about this book, except that it was a great read and blew my mind. It was a wonderful book to read. I think it gave some great insight into the spirit world and spiritual warfare. I liked the character development. I liked how the story moved, the way it flowed from region to region. I have read some stuff recently where the conversations felt faked or forced; the conversations in this book did not feel forced at all. I liked how the protagonists grew throughout the course of the story. I thought the author did an excellent job.
I know this is probably one of my shortest reviews, but I do not want to give too much away. This was a great book.
Aug 16, Adrienna rated it liked it Shelves: Although Abby's dream explained on her blog had lost me; others had sent inquiries to her blog that they are having similar dreams. She is a seer, some would say "sight" to see in the spiritual realm, and while on her deathbed her father reveals the mysterious death of her mother who also had the gift of sight. This is when the book started to catch my interest as well as the opening chapter of the assassin who didn't finish Abby off. I also read the author note to see that it will cover spirit Although Abby's dream explained on her blog had lost me; others had sent inquiries to her blog that they are having similar dreams.
I also read the author note to see that it will cover spiritual genealogy to edify scripture nomenclature which highly interests me since I mostly write nonfiction. And as a seer myself, I would like to see in a novel how this aspect is covered from a spiritual sense. The ending was great, especially explaining about "the Watchers" and how it transition to humankind to watch over mankind, and share the spiritual gifts of God with others of various nationalities coming from a spiritual generation back to Prophetess Anna who witnessed the Christ.
Oct 15, Gabrielle is currently reading it Shelves: Bizarre experience with this. I read as you can gather numerous books at one time. One of the ones I'm currently reading is "The Expected One". The similarities so far.. The story in both books starts with female protagonists who have visions of biblical Jerusalem; but not just a vision - it's like the Bizarre experience with this.
The story in both books starts with female protagonists who have visions of biblical Jerusalem; but not just a vision - it's like they're actually there - experiencing it. Since I'm only halfway through "The Expected One" and just started this one, I'll have to see how it turns out. What are the chances of something like this happening?
Jan 20, Sean Durity rated it liked it. This is like an amped up early Peretti novel about spiritual warfare.
The book starts with a gripping though uncomfortable scene, and the plot keeps moving throughout. Olsen does have a way with descriptions; some sentences are worth two or three reads to enjoy their images and even how they "sound. The potential romance with a seemingly older man didn't address the age gap and seemed less This is like an amped up early Peretti novel about spiritual warfare. The potential romance with a seemingly older man didn't address the age gap and seemed less credible. Finally, the spiritual warfare aspect is very similar to other works.
It doesn't really offer new insight or perspective. Enjoyable, but not a must-read. Feb 05, Lorrie rated it did not like it. I said I read this book, but that is not entirely true. I did not finish the book. At first, I thought it was intriguing. But after reading further, I found it to be bothersome.
This cultish group of so-called believers were banded together supernaturally through spiritual sightings and visions, which sounds plausible in premise. However, it it was just too weird and didn't make sense from a Godly perspective. This special group or race of people was given this gifting and were called, it seemed I said I read this book, but that is not entirely true. This special group or race of people was given this gifting and were called, it seemed, to fight a battle against the enemy who was intent on destroying this sect of people.
It was very bizarre. Abby Sherman has just discovered that she has this ability.
And when she describes her visions and dreams on her MyCorner blog, the response is beyond anything she ever anticipated This book, first in the series, vividly describes the ongoing but mostly u Throughout History, there have always been those who possessed the SIGHT: This book, first in the series, vividly describes the ongoing but mostly unseen battle between the forces of Good and Evil Jul 27, Amy rated it it was ok. Oct 07, J. Ewbank rated it really liked it Shelves: What a wild, visid,and stirring book Olsen has written. It is an exciting book which began slowly for me but gathered force and then kept me reading until the end.
The Watchers involves a group of women who are holy people and who have become separated but have their gifts handed down from one generation to another. No more to be said because it is a book you have to read to enjoy. Aug 08, Kathy rated it really liked it. I didn't want to put this one down. On my day off today, I just had to sit and finish it. It is not my usual type of book, as I don't really like to read books that are frightening or full of violence.
This is a suspense novel based upon the battle between good and evil, among humans as well as in the spiritual realm. It reminds me of a couple of Frank Peretti books that I read several years ago. Suspenseful, yet good to know throughout who is surely to be victorious! Jun 17, Wayne C Anderson rated it really liked it. This book is fiction but reveals some true "Seer" conflicts of the spirit realm.
I was greatly surprised when I read the first pages on a flight from Boise to Tampa. I got off the plane and called Pat Holloran and told him to read the book because it reveals battles likeness closer than anything I've ever read in print. Some important truths are hidden in fiction herein. Apr 21, Chris rated it it was ok.
This was a good book and had a very nice premise. It tended to get a little "preachy" at times and for those who are not ardently Christian may find this to be a big distraction. The book does have a good flow and did not get bogged down like some of his previous works. I may to pass on the rest of the series. Apr 11, Mark rated it liked it. Overall this book was a bit weird for my tastes and outside of the style book I typically read.
Almost a sci-fi style linked with christian fiction. I might try the next book "The Warrior", as the overall writing was decent. Mar 10, Rennie rated it it was ok Shelves: Great start but went on to a bit more of religious focus than I had expected. Sep 01, Judy Benvin rated it it was amazing.
Wish I could have given this book 10 stars! Excellent read from the first page. Excellent view of the battles between good and evil. I agree with the other reviewer - the book seemed to end a little quickly.
This is one book I look forward to re-reading. Nov 17, Tiffany rated it it was ok. This book was wonderful! It delves into the unseen world of spiritual warfare that goes on around us all the time. I am reading The Warriros now, the 2nd book in the series. I highly recommend these books! For two thousand years they've seen beyond the veil separating this world from the next, passing on their gift through a lineage mostly overlooked.
The Watchers Covert Missions Book 1. Just below the surface among the family of God lives another family tree--one traced in spirit, invisible and ageless, known as the Watchers. Throughout history they've scouted the borders of the supernatural frontier, but now their survival hangs by a thread. And their fate lies in the hands of a young woman, her would-be killer, and a mystery they must solve. You just reached my own little corner of cyberspace.
