In the near future, Tad and Emma North and their children live in a United States that is growing increasingly wicked. The Norths and their extended family notice that many Latter-day Saints are being deceived by alluring temptations, and they wonder how much longer the Lord will allow American society to continue its downward spiral.
Then comes an invitation from Church leaders for the Saints to gather together. This invitation isn’t well-accepted—and even openly mocked—but those faithful Church members who trust in the Lord soon find themselves accomplishing monumental tasks. Join these humble yet heroic Saints as they embark on an unprecedented journey to build New Jerusalem.
The Great Gathering, the first novel in the Standing in Holy Places series, paints a vivid picture of exciting prophesied events that still must occur before the Second Coming. If you have an interest in what awaits the members of the LDS Church, this series should definitely be on your reading list!
I absolutely loved this book. I stayed up way to late last night to finish it. It's a fictional story about 3 families who are living through the "last days" before the second coming. It kept my attention the entire book and of course I sit and ponder being asked to do many of the things they were asked to do in the book. "Would I listen?" I like to think that I would. "Are we prepared?" We are not prepared!
The The Celestial City is the second book in this series and it comes out Monday so I am hoping to read it.
