Refuge In Emptiness: A Review by Shannon Evans
By Shannon EvansRefuge In Emptiness presents a modern apocolytic look at Christianity as it exists side by side with the more material, secular world. Chastain does a remarkable job of weaving her story so that even the most skeptical believer will hang on reading to the finish.
The basic premise of he book is that those who are baptized believers have been taken up to heaven in the rapture. Those left behind are the non-believers who are now under the rule of the World Security Force (WSF). The WSF is a militaristic hierachy that is organized along the same structure as that of the Roman occupiers of Judea in the early years of the Christian Church. The conversational stlye of the work is easy to follow and helps develope the characters, intrigues, and poignantly presents the sense of helplessness felt by those left behind. The strength of the realistic dialogue and the rich physical character description give them real "flesh and bones" and makes them come alive on the page. Never preachy, the author's strong Christian faith is evident throughout the work. The questions that have never been satisfactorily answered by Christian theologians the world over are posed in ways that are not only thought provoking but also leave the reader questioning their own preparedness. In a world of social decay, moral depravity, and often misguided global leadership, the words of Revelation are becoming a source of much current discussion. Refuge In Emptiness is a theologiclly sound contemporary presentation of the "end times." Clearly presented and a compelling read, Chastain has created a thoroughly believable work of fiction that sucks the reader in from the "end" to the culminating new beginning.
