Product Description:
EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT SUSPENSE...AND SOMETHING MORE...!
A father trapped in a terrible underwater accident. A son desperate to do something--anything--to save him. A digital read-out ticking down toward certain death--and a fate more horrible still...
For Alan Rockaway, his teenaged son Jeff, and Alan's new bride, Jenny, it's been little more than a fascinating tourist submarine excursion, a leisurely end to a weeklong church-couples' cruise. Then the horrifying crash and the plunge toward the unknown....
Everything Alan has assumed about himself, about what awaits him in the future, is flipped upside down.
In the ultimate rescue operation, life or death is just the beginning!

This is a great book. It really makes you think about your relationship with Jesus. It makes you examine your heart and find out what motivates what you do for the Lord. Thank you!
I have already passed this one on to my friends.

Rescued is, in short, the most surprising book I've read this year. I am still astounded at what co-authors Bevere and Olsen have accomplished with this novel. I was so entirely taken in by their strong point-of-view writing that I felt they'd jumped up behind me and smacked a chair over my head. I was taken in completely unawares by their plan, to the extent that I would almost call them deceptive or sneaky, luring readers in before springing their trap. However, this is a trap you'll want to be caught up in; a trap that will lead you to your knees in repentance before a holy God.
I found Rescued an extremely difficult book to read, and it certainly wasn't due to the easy reading prose. If I hadn't been obligated to review it I would have thrown it across the room in disgust and left it lying on the floor. I couldn't believe that a respected Christian publishing house had allowed this title to be published under their imprint. How far had Christian fiction fallen? My stomach literally churned and I became queasy as I came to know Alan Rockaway. Alan is not a likeable character for a Christian who takes the Bible literally.
Watching him twist the word of God to justify his sins, watching his church support him in those sins, watching him revel in them, declaring these sins as God's will for his life - it was just too much for me. I could barely handle the flashbacks as he reflected upon his decisions, justifying them once again in the face of possible death. I kept going, only because I had to, and if you find yourself reading Rescued, I recommend that you do the same. Persevere and you will receive a rich reward; read the story until it's end - after all, it's only 288 pages long.
I cannot think of one person who would not benefit from reading this title; God has, and will continue to use this work for His glory and purposes. Are you ready to be challenged and driven to self-examination? Are you ready to become humbled, contrite and driven into the arms of the Father? John Bevere and Mark Andrew Olsen spent hundreds of hours in prayer and study of the scriptures in order to write this novel. In retrospect it's apparent that they must have. Only under the Lord's guidance and inspiration could they have pulled this one off. If you're able to withstand an emotional roller coaster ride through the extremes of emotion, I highly recommend you pick up Rescued, then share it with your friends, your relatives and others within your church. Are you ready to experience the ultimate rescue mission?

This is not the type of book I normally read, but my mom loaned it to me and it sat on my nightstand for months before I cracked it open. Once I started reading it, I spent every free minute I had with this book until I finished. I won't spoil the plot for you, but suffice it to say that this was an eye-opening, at times gut-wrenching book that has had a lasting effect on my life. When you finish it, you will know exactly what I mean, and I don't think anyone who has read this book will look at life quite the same way again. Enjoy!

I have all of John Bevere's books and they have transformed my way of thinking and my life paradigms have radically shifted. I recommend this audio book as it really hit home and caused me to think about eternity and how I live my life here; and what it could be like to stand before God at the white throne of judgment. To listen to a "fictional" dialogue between those who profess his name and still live their life here anyway they want without considering the potential consequences to those choices, really impacted me and the way I have been living my life. I highly recommend this audio book and also the Affabel audio book that is written like a parable. The impact is tremendous.
Note: Christmas 2008 - have purchased this Audio Book for each of my children for them to listen to. I hope it will be a great awakening to them. My prayer is that it will wake them up to return to walking with their God.

I am already a huge fan of John Bevere, but he truly out did himself this time. He always publishes something that impacts my life in a positive way, but this book not only excited me about being a Christian, it reminded me of why I choose to be a Child of God and a member of a Great Body of Believers.
I'm not really familiar with Mark Andrew Olsen, but I believe he will soon be high on my list of Christian Authors.
This story brought me to new heights of excitement as well as dispere for the unbeliever. I found myself so engaged, it took me hours to come down. God's anointing is surely on these two author's lives.
