by Jeff Fulmer
Jeff Fulmer opens this book with a quote from 1 Corinthians 13:2 ~ “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.”
This is Fulmer’s second book in a series about an unlikely prophet, Peter Quell. Peter is a single young man, unemployed, struggling to find his way in a career and in relationships. He doesn’t even seem to have it all together in regards to faith. He questions things and is a sporadic church attender. And yet, God chooses him as a special messenger.
Peter begins to have vivid dreams of events that he feels compelled to share. As he does, the dreams all start coming true in a very timely manner. As his dreams are validated, he becomes bolder in acting upon these dreams. He has no other explanation than that the dreams must be from God and God must be giving them to him for a reason. So, he begins to speak out. He shares his dreams with friends, churches, and the media in order to publicize the warnings. And he shares the prophecies not just to warn others of the upcoming events, but to teach others that the most important thing may not be what the American church is focusing on, but may be about kindness and love. Peter also puts his message into action as he visits the sites of the events and does what he can to bring help, healing, and hope to those affected by the tragedies.
The events in this book follow many of the current happenings in America during the past decade. The author is clearly encouraging the American church to stop being part of the spreading of lies and the divisiveness that is occurring not just within our culture but also within the American church specifically. And through Peter Quell, the author promotes working for the common good, spreading goodwill, improving the environment, enacting gun safety laws, fostering inclusion and equality, and welcoming immigrants. It’s a message I believe the church in America needs.
If you add this book to your reading list, be sure to read the prequel first, Hometown Prophet. They are both easy reads, and though they don’t do a deep dive into current issues, they begin the conversation about what God would be saying to Christians in the United States today.
