Summary

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: These are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:8

When Agent Joshua Stone is called to a high-level meeting at the Department of Homeland Security, he learns about a new global order which will be transitioning into power. Stone is read in on the plan for a single planetary government and a world-wide cashless-currency, which will step in to fill the void left by the failing monetary system. To win wide acceptance by the nations of the world, the old system must first be allowed to fail, bringing about a state of global chaos never before seen by mankind. Once desperation has taken the place of pride and hubris, humanity will beg for the proposed one-world empire led by the charismatic tech guru Lucius Alexander.

The United States will fall without a single shot being fired.

While still considered a sovereign nation under the new global charter, America is required to make some major adjustments in order to fit in. One of the mandatory changes comes in the form of oppressive firearms restrictions. Agent Stone is tasked with infiltrating a group of anti-government nationalists to monitor their activities in the wake of the new gun ban. But what he learns from the group while working undercover causes him to question if he is on the right side of the fight.

The final world empire will demand absolute loyalty.

Stone will have to make an impossible choice. If he chooses to ignore the information gleaned during his time undercover, he will violate his deepest personal convictions. However, if he turns his back on the Global Union, he’ll put not only his own life on the line, but also those of his wife and son.

Don’t miss this chilling depiction of what America will look like in the last days. Listen to The Beginning of Sorrows, a heart-stopping tale of the end times, today!

As with all works by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

Woke Crowd hates this!!!

I can just tell most of the bad reviews for these books comes from the woke crowd. I found the story itself very compelling as far as the performance goes... It's Kevin Pierce, the voice of the apocalypse, and he lives up to his reputation.

Started out being a good series....BUT.....

I understand about revelations and end of days stuff but the paranoia slowly rose and it became full blown in this book..Only they are right about the bible and if you don't agree with them, then you are completely wrong. Then the paranoid wacko theories started coming out of nowhere and about nearly every religious entity on earth. How the Templars in the 15th century were in with the devil and then of course they are aligned historically with the Masons, so of course they are devil worshipers too. Guess what...I am a Mason and this book just promotes the same crap that the pope and the French king came up with to defame the Templars because the king owed millions to the Templars. I do not recommend this religious hog wash. I DO REALLY LIKE KEVIN Pierce. HE IS THE BEST READER IN THE BUSINESS. OK----- to be fair, I tried reading this book again 8/12/23 and guess where I started to choke on the crap? It was the same place that stopped me last time. I am a Christian, but the paranoid crap that started oozing forth from Chapter 33 was real hard to swallow. It is full of the worst kind of paranoid theories and is a disservice to Christianity. I am kind of surprised the Kevin could mouth this stuff. I have a great deal of respect for him as one of the best narrators in the business. Could not finish the book. it just kept getting worse and more paranoid as the chapter went on.........

Very scary as this could easily happen.

I would ignore the bad reviews. These books are good. Some bible stuff. Not really an issue. But the story and what is happening and can happen is very scary and not far off. WEF. And no. I am very well educated and hardworking. But I can read and think.

Judgement

As usual this is an eye opening story of the relationship of man and the Bible as well as the rapture. I really enjoyed the story. Looking forward to another book.

13 books down, several to go

I'm a huge fan of everything post apocalyptic, and have been in the preparedness mindset for decades. I've always felt that our world is on the precipice of collapse and wish that I got into prepping and had a good christian mentor earlier in life. Mark Goodwin captures the potential reality of what is to come in the not so distant future and shares a wealth of subtle information on how to get prepared on many levels. He has great attention to detail and keeps filth out of his novels. I have enjoyed several boxsets and continued the journeys of some after. I've been listening to Goodwin for several months and look forward to the hours of binging what I have left. I hope those who listen to these novels start to prepare, plan, and train.

Highly recommend

Great book! Biblically based and without needless violence injected to increase the reader’s excitement. I’ve read most of this author’s works and look forward the next.

Not Good

I should have read the synopsis - maybe then I wouldn’t have wasted so much time.

Conservative? Understatement of the year.........

I enjoy this genre, but this book is way over the top on biblical connections and the end of the world, all the worst conspiracy theories interwoven with the bible. Just a bit way to much for me, just not the kind of book that i can listen to and enjoy as an escape.

political BS using fiction to push your POV

All I can say is I have read many books of this genre but nothing so pointed as this piece of work. I wish I hadn't of spent my credit on it. I think of myself as pretty tolerant guy middle of the road type, but this is so far right it goes in circles.
