Interesting take on the subject

I can't help but compare this book to the Left Behind series. This was obviously much shorter than the 13 books of that series, but I felt that was a positive for the author's take on the antichrist. This enemy character was very well done and Scripturally sound. I appreciated the author's inclusion of a chapter citing Bible verses for all of the attributes given to the antichrist and the choices made in the world in the story. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but what comes next is clearly found in Revelation and I think would be best suited to be captured with a sequel. Perhaps that's wishful thinking, but I would gladly read more fiction from Jeff Kinley. I'm also interested in reading his nonfiction and prophecy books now, as he clearly knows the Bible well.
