Plot Synopsis
The message was
unexpected but instantly recognizable.
A
voice resonated from a distance and somehow from within. Against all
earthly logic, it carried a divine command. And five very different
people knew they were summoned to obey.
Their
actions were demanding, but not particularly grand. Only later would they
see a pattern emerge - one that links their tasks together and comes to
challenge the cultural direction of the nation. They realize that one
small personal response unveiled a new realm of moral responsibility. And
this affirmation of everyday hope captures the attention of millions.
But
power and money are at stake. Malicious elements soon align themselves to
counter the trend. To succeed they must also undermine its source.
Can we really believe that God speaks to people today? Surely this
must be dismissed as superstition or delusion. These well-intentioned but
misguided individuals should not be allowed to cast our society back into the
Dark Ages.
The
public debate and media frenzy place an unprecedented spotlight on knowing and
doing God's will. The five encounter threats, but try to remain steadfast
in their faith. Had God indeed imparted wisdom on selected
individuals? Is this sweep of events part of his divine purpose?
The movement may herald a profound renewal - one
that some are calling The Turning...

My
Review
I have a
full time job, run an active global ministry and am a lead intercessor at our
church. Few things pull me away from the 3 God has given me responsibility over
except in the few minutes before sleep when I allow myself the luxury of a good
novel. Until this moment. Until this book. Not only did it demand my full attention, it
commanded my response.
My life took a turning of its own while reading this
incredible new book by Davis Bunn. I have read almost every book he has written
and what happened to me while reading this now-relevant novel has only occurred
while reading 2 of (his) other books.
I heard God Speak. I felt the Holy Spirit take me to the
Throne of God and introduce me to a new season of Kingdom Life.
Is there intrigue? Yes.
Is there a dynamic plot intertwined with a love story? Yes. Does it
speak to where our society is headed & how God’s love can turn that around
for those of us who Believe? Again, Yes. But it will also call out to you and
ask you to reply. From the depths of
your heart.
I encourage everyone to take a few hours (with a good cup of
coffee) and settle in to one of the best books I’ve read in a long time… The
Turning. It will turn your life around.
I received a complimentary copy of The Turning from River North Fiction in exchange for my honest
review.
