The Great Gathering

The Great Gathering by Chad Daybell was an interesting book that will make you think. It is a fictional look at the future gathering of the church in the last days. It made me think would I be one of the faithful who goes to the gathering with out question or will I scoff and think that people are over reacting. It was very interesting and the first in a series, the rest have not come out yet.

I liked the book because it made me think at take a look at myself. And you know what if the Prophet said to gather I would, no matter what.

As described at Deseret Book:

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.
