Publisher's 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.

Fantastic! 

I sure do love me some post apocalyptic novels, what a refreshing Christian perspective take on post apocalyptic end times. Author is a great storyteller, and did not need to use foul language or inappropriate sexual innuendos in order to make a riveting story. Sure fell in love with characters I only regret is that it was only three books, lol. Thankful that there is another series/spinoff from this book, already purchased it, and excited to start listening!

His best book yet!

Mark has become my favorite author over the last year, and has outdone himself with each new title!

Great entertainment and no nonsense

I love a book that is entertaining and isn’t filled with unholy nonsense. No cussing, lustful storylines, or grotesque violence.

Keeps you interested

It’s fiction I know but there are a lot of non fictional statements from the Bible. This is a good book that doesn’t rely on profanity to get emotions across to the reader.

A decent series

Not my favorite series by Mark but still a worthwhile listen. Kevin Pierce is my favorite Narrator.

a learning experience

love this book WE ARE IN THE END OF TIMES helped me a lot many thanks to the author God bless you ....

Great book. Must read before the next series.

The books keeps you engaged and builds so well with each character. Finally a book that doesn’t have all of the filth in it like so many other novels.

Excellent narration to a fantastic book

Wow!!! This one has me digging out my Bible and looking for more ways to study Daniel and revelations. The big R…and the ending brings tears and hope Action through it to interest those who skip the important opening of each chapter.

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.

Kept my interest

Moved fast enough with good characters. I enjoyed the Biblical references. I am looking forward to listening to the next books in series.
