Walkabout: The Story of a Brief Century [Kindle Edition]

Gregory Greene (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Walkabout is a novel set in a near future. It explores a world where leaders have been allowed to create a climate of fear such that no-one can be trusted and everybody has to be under surveillance. It exposes the workings of mind control in its political, commercial, and religious forms. The fast-paced action in Walkabout takes place in the disaster scenarios familiar from the Book of Revelation and follows the lives of its characters as they take back their freedom and triumph over the system and its persecutions.

Walkabout sets out to show that faith has survived the onslaught of religion, that hope remains in spite of the New World Order, and that love is still the greatest of them all.

3.0 out of 5 stars One man's thoughts about the end times, July 19, 2009

I met the author of "Walkabout" through the blogosphere. I found out that he had written a book based on bible prophecy, and that immediately got my attention since that is a major area of interest and study. I could also identify with his expressed motive, "...to popularize the Book of Revelation and explain the Christian faith as I see it to non-theologians...." The story follows one man's spiritual journey to faith during the end times and gives evidence of the author's broad knowledge base in science and technology. Along the way he falls in love, makes many new friends, and experiences God's love and supernatural provision and protection through the dangers he encounters in the frightening new world order. My only hesitation in recommending this book is through a concern I have regarding many of the author's conclusions concerning biblical truth with which I do not agree. It's those "non-theologians" or those who aren't familiar with scripture with whom I am concerned and would not want to be part of misleading according to the truth of scripture as I understand it. We agree, however, on the most important truth of salvation through faith in Jesus. With that caveat, I can say that the story is well written, creative, entertaining and thought-provoking.

Imagine every subject of concern contained within the spectrum of modern life experiences all wrapped up in one coherent story! That's exactly what Gregory Greene accomplishes in "Walkabout".

Worries over the Ecology, Economy, Political Systems, Religious Systems, Society, and yes, even Personal Relationships are all presented in a common sense, "non-preachy" narrative.

At the "end" you discover it's not about all these secular worries we have, but about FAITH!

... very enjoyable!
