Vanished
The Vanished Series #1
By Dr. David Jeremiah with Sam O'Neal
Vanished opens with the world in turmoil: pandemics, war, famine, and natural disasters have raveged it. Covid-19 was only the beginning, each successive world sweeping illness has become harder to tackle, and the newest is seemigly unstoppable. John (Haggs) Haggery has been tasked with the special military unit to contain it. Haggs see it as a challenge that he must defeat. But when the newest deadly strain is found elsewhere Haggs and his team are sent in to contain it. Yeah doesn't go to plan. Nope natural disaster strikes and those rumors of war? They are no longer rumors.
Add to the professional stress, is Haggs's guilty. Guilt over a death he could have prevented, over his fsiled marriage, and his non-exisitent relationship with his now grown daughter. Haggs wants to change but he's not entirely sure where to begin. His family and best friend know that what he needs is to establish a relationship with God, but that means surrendering the control he holds to. But then it happens and control means nothing in the suddenly changed world Haggs finds himeself living in.
This book uses current world events to predict a not so distant possible future where everything is more challenging in the ability to survive from day-to-day. Think Left Behind (Jerry Jenkins) meets The Shepherds (Andrews and Wilson) and get an idea of what this book is about. There is an unending intensity that drives the book, and Haggs, to its conclusion. The cover for this book is perfect for what happens - a world in turmoil. This is a page-turner as disaster follows disaster. Almost makes one not want to get out of bed after seeing the news!
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah's theological insights are already valued by millions of readers. Now he brings that same depth to novels that explore the end of the world...
As leader of a special military unit charged with stopping potential pandemics before they spread, John "Haggs" Haggerty has a front-row seat to the sharp increase in natural disasters that precede the Rapture--including plagues, earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war. And each crisis is becoming more intense.
Meanwhile, his own world feels like it's falling apart. He's still caught in the grief of messing up his relationship with his ex-wife, and he's trying to keep it together so that he can show up for his adult daughter before she wants him out of her life entirely. As both personal and professional situations push him to the brink, Haggs finds himself stretched further than ever in his desire to be the kind of good person he knows he should be.
Just when it seems as if things might turn around, Haggs is forced to decide between his need to find solutions and his need for personal redemption.
Vanished is Left Behind for a new generation--apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with Dr. Jeremiah's perspective and compassion.
