Here is the book summary:
In this taut thriller that depicts a future where belief is dangerous, faith is deemed hatred, and a group of powerful elite keeps watch, the Reckoner has come to wake up America.
The year is 2038 and Cheyenne Burne is a brilliant young programmer working for Acatour, the world's top technology firm. Her father converts to Christianity, and he suddenly disappears without a trace. When a stranger hands Cheyenne a coded message that sends her on a collision course with a clandestine group of believers, she must put her life in the hands of those following a man known only as the Reckoner. He claims he wants to bring back true faith in Christ to America and also reveal the forces behind the disappearances of the many renowned people who publicly declared their Christian faith.
Operating in the shadows and living off the grid, this mysterious prophet assembles a ragtag team--including a former bookseller whose store was shut down for selling prohibited books--to help him take the battle for transparency to the top. With a ruthless FBI agent closing in, can Cheyenne and the others expose the truth and lead a return to God in America before it's too late?

And now, my review:
This book was very interesting how it touched on some of the issues we are facing right now in this society. Issues of control and manipulation of those of the Christian faith. Labeling the Gospel as hateful and intolerant. If you as the reader of this review do not see that, then read this book. It shows how these issues if ignored, could escalate into something devastating. It is very challenging to be bolder in my faith and encouraging to others of like faith. The book itself was a bit difficult to get into at first. I enjoyed how things were brought around in the end, but there does seem to be an open-endedness for future books. I liked the future aspects of the book. The scenarios were believable and not fanciful. I would recommend this book to someone based on the challenges it poses.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
