4.0 out of 5 stars The Scents of Prayer and Persecution September 25, 2012

By Mary C. Findley

Format:Paperback

Review of Pharmacia: Those Magic Arts: Revelation Special Ops, book 2 (Volume 2)
I read the first book in this series and have been looking forward to the second. Yates has some wonderful characters. This story changes points of view several times since the Special Ops team is scattered around -- Babylon, Jerusalem, and locations in Russia. Matt's experiences should drive readers to prayer because his ordeal is not so different from what persecuted believers are undergoing right now. Hadassah's friendship with a Russian "princess" is beyond bittersweet.
Once again, the team's efforts are bathed in prayer. A discussion about the way God sometimes handles our prayer requests for healing and miracles makes the book worth the read all by itself. But you will also get to breathe scented gold, clean up after fighting dinosaurs, and see firsthand what a mother will do when her child is in danger, when that mother used to be Mossad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting "end times" interpretations April 2, 2013

I loved the way she incorporated end times themes into this book. Even if you do not agree with the interpretation, the book showed how the end times can creep up on the world without anyone 'noticing.'

More About the Author

Precarious Yates lives in Texas with husband, daughter, dogs, chickens, rabbit, lizard and by the time you read this some other exotic creature her husband or daughter has brought home. She had studied the plight of and worked toward the abolition of modern slavery for over a decade before sitting down to write Revelation Special Ops. She was further inspired by the work of her sister-in-law, who helped to found Love146, an organization that works to raise awareness about human trafficking and builds safe homes in vulnerable regions. Yates spent several years overseas as a missionary in Ireland, and also did missions work in India and the Philippines. Her passion for literature has become her means of further educating young adults of the realities of modern slavery, while producing hope through the power of Christ Jesus in us.
