The Breaking Dawn Paperback – January 1, 2016

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 105 ratings

The Breaking Dawn begins with an attack that crashes the investment markets, brings down economic systems and divides the world. One part is dominated by mass surveillance and massive data systems: clean cities and empty minds... where everything is assured and everything is ordered. The other part is abandoned, without services, with limited communications, and shoved fifty years behind the times... but where human minds are left to find their own bearings. And from there it goes to places you've never imagined. Like the author's groundbreaking A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, this is a transformative book - it is economics, technology, theology, philosophy, social activism and derring-do, cloaked in characters whose lives you will care about; whose heart-breaks and successes you'll feel with them. While ripping the mask off power structures that struggle to control our lives, Rosenberg never takes hope from us. As hard as the journey is into true freedom and liberty, he never takes our focus off The Breaking Dawn.

I just finished reading "The Breaking Dawn" and found it to be one of the most thought provoking amazing books I have ever read. Having been a part of the Patriot movement then the "sovereign" movement and now just trying to be the best husband and father I can. I think I know how to be free, it's just very difficult to break out of the matrix.

Your book was a refreshing look at the realities of life that we all know but no one talks openly about, the control through media, fear, intimidation, everything enforce at the point of a gun and the scarcity issue while we live in the most abundant and prosperous times ever in history. I never really went all the way with any of the stuff I learned at the many seminars I have been to but it was an education in life and I'm glad I did it. This book speaks to me on variations of my understanding of freedom, spirituality and the afterlife, some points not all.....I get why Paul may have intertwines creationist with evolutionist theories in his book but it made it a little unbelievable to add the evolutionist part into the story. whereas from a Christian perspective if it had been all from a creator aspect it would have been more real.

Having grown up in Chicago it had special meaning, I could picture myself walking through certain parts of the city he mentions and I'm going to check out that restaurant in Chicago where his main characters eat at after the "enlightenment". I looked it up its still there and been there for over 80 years.

I couldn't put the book down and will probably read it again. It will be hard to read another book now that I have.read this.book, not much out there could grab my attention as this did. I want everyone to read it.

I truly enjoy your weekend Freeman perspective also. It makes me look at life from a different perspective, one you don't get from any msm outlets.

Thank you,
Tom Q

I liked the awareness expanse of possibilities that this story introduces. It’s mind and soul bending. The joy that emanates from the idea of deliverance from suffering is ever expansive after the crisis change. Wouldn’t it be wonderful that this outcome could be true?1 We as vessels of God Source can make it possible and thus make it so.

To buy this book or not? That is the question. My vote, Yes!
My whole life I’ve been confused about things, economics, integrity, politics, war, ethics, public schools, religion, governments, taxes, etc.
Starting about five years ago I seriously got into researching these subjects and found Richard Maybury and his great books, Whatever Happened to Penny Candy, is one of them.
During my research on the internet I kept running into articles (Freeman’s Weekly, by Paul Rosenberg) that were fantastic. I decided to try Paul Rosenberg’s monthly letter, Free-mans Perspective. This is some of the best reading, most truthful nonviolent words of wisdom I have ever read, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC!
That’s how I found out about this book, The Breaking Dawn.
This is a great book, but so much more than a fictional story. You will need to have an open mind when you read it. I think Paul was in a bit of a hurry when he put this book out. Four stars instead of five.
If you are looking for some help in trying to figure out this crazy world, here is another great stepping stone. I really enjoyed this book.
Thank you Paul!

I am quite content in rating it as excellent. Author Rosenberg has created a future nation after multiple political/cultural collapses. What results is less than desireable, but the heroes of the story are as excellent at making lemonade as the villains are at upping the sourness of the lemons. Replete with fascinating philosophical twists and turns and life affirming multigenerational advocacy, "The Breaking Dawn" is extremely well done. Published on premium paper stock, it is a pleasure to read. The Breaking Dawn

I would put this book into the category of The Brave New World, George Orwell 1984, and similar. Very interesting reading yet scary. It is not outside of the realm of possibilities that such societies could become a reality. Worse has already existed in all of Eastern Europe, North Korea etc. If you think it just can not happen in the USA; that delusional head stuck in the sand thinking will practically assure, that it will happen, or something very similar type of autocratic system. This is a must read if you want to maintain your individual liberty.

The writing style is too straight forward. It lacks emotion in spite of the story being about running away from the old world order to find a new one. I am half way now in the plot and I don't care if I finish it or not.

This is an excellent book for our current times. It grabbed me and I just had to keep reading to the very end. I don't necessarily agree with all that is in the book but it makes a very interesting story and outline of what could occur. One measure for me is how much I think about a book after I have finished reading it. For me, this is a book I keep thinking about a lot. I may have to re-read it just because there are so many things I want to review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A journey from our now into its possible outcome
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2017
This book presents a thrilling possible outcome of our current world complete with characters and relationships that carry us along the path. Surprising and yet wholly possible. Much as life , as we know it, the book is disturbing, and yet hopeful as the books unfold. Those wondering how the world now might progress will find it compelling as it offers quotes that apply to their own lives. Well conceived, beautifully written, and rich with a possibility that could well materialize in part or in whole, it will not only entertain but also provide food for thought and reflective development. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big ideas followed by bigger ideas
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2016
A very interesting and thought provoking book. The ideas and concepts were introduced with great care and clarity. Some of the concepts were extremely large and I needed quite a few periods of quiet contemplation before continuing. A very positive picture of a potential future. A most agreeable future.
