The Seraph Seal (fiction)

As more and more devastation erupts throughout the world there is more interest in the End Times.  Tornado's, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, war, and political agendas have caused people to think about and study what the Bible has to say about the end of the world.  This has also caused an explosion in the genre.
The example that I read was fictional book The Seraph Seal written by Leonard Sweet and Lori Wagner.  Leonard is a preacher, scholar and Clergyman of the United Methodist Church and Lori is a teacher, and Christian leader who established Affirming Faith.  Because of this background the story is steeped in authenticity.  By using the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to symbolize the four Gospels, four transcendentals, and four forces of the universe (air, water, earth, and fire).  Using this, the author’s share a tale of good verse evil, and exhibit a concept of what the end times may be like.
While I appreciate and respect the background of both authors I found this book tiresome and boring.  I had a hard time understanding the story through sound Biblical doctrine.  There are many times in the book where the authors took a concept and spun it in a way that I find hard to see in the Bible.  I would not recommend this book as anything more then something to pass the time.  Much like The Shack and The Da Vinci Code this book offers little to the Christian who is based in Biblical truth.
I received this book as part of the Booksneeze program with Thomas Nelson publishing. I was not required to write a positive review.
