The Visitation

Summary:  The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has become a gateway for the supernatural—from sightings of angels and a weeping crucifix to a self-proclaimed prophet with an astounding message.
The national media and the curious all flock to the little town—a great boom for local business but not for Travis Jordan. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that has eternal consequences.

Cons:  The only thing I didn't like about this book was that I didn't agree with all the religous views held by the main character in the book.  That annoyed me to a certain degree.

Pros:  I really enjoyed this book.  It was a page turner and even managed to creep me out just a bit (and, in my opinion, that is a hard thing to do when it comes to books).  I liked how the main character was not a perfect person but was struggling like everyone else.  However, he was a character that I easily came to like.

Overall, I would give this book five stars.

Recommended for ages 17 and up.
