—Yo Leo Ficción Cristiana
Since the rapture Judd, Vicki, and Lionel have all received Christ. The only one who has not received Christ is Ryan. When Lionel discovers that his Uncle Andre is not dead like he is supposed to be, he is only in hiding he spreads the word until the man Andre owes money to discovers he is alive everything goes wrong. Will Ryan ever receive Christ? Will they be able to find Uncle Andre Before the killer finds him? I thought this book was really good because it was full of mystery and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The way how Lionel finds out his uncle is alive is great but kind of brutal at the same time. And the way Uncle Andre dies is really brutal. If you are the type of person who likes reading realistic fiction, religious books then I recommend you read this book.
