About the Book
Book Title: Chaos: In the Blink of an Eye
Author: Patrick Higgins
Genre: Christian Mystery/Suspense
Release date: September, 2015
It was the weekend before Thanksgiving. More than 100,000 fans were jammed inside Michigan Stadium, on their feet, to witness a heated football rivalry that had spanned more than 100 years. As the football was kicked into the snow-filled sky, they were about to get the shock of their lives, as long-foretold Bible prophecy came to pass before their very eyes, causing many to vanish into thin air without a trace. But what they soon realized was that it reached far beyond Michigan Stadium. Chaos of unimaginable proportions ensued worldwide. Shock, fear and panic filled each heart and mind. It was just the beginning of things to come, as life as humanity had known it was forever changed in the blink of an eye…

My Review:
"Chaos: In the Blink of an Eye" by Patrick Higgins is the prequel to the rest of the series, and after reading it I want to read the rest of the series. I think there are supposed to be ten books in this series. I have read The "Left Behind " series and I think these are going to be better, because they are shorter reads and I feel like the characters were more "true to life" then the charters in the above series. Of, course I have only read the prequel to this series, but I already have the next book download on my iPad.
Brian and the rest of the characters in this book are looking forward to a weekend that will never be forgotten and what they get is one that changes the whole world.
I was drawn into this story from the first word because it is written so well and the scenes and the details are very well described. It really felt like I was watching them happening as well as reading about them.
I like the fact that the sporting event chosen for this story was a real event. It is the famed Michigan-Ohio State college football rivalry.
I cannot wait to start reading the rest of the books, the sixth one is to be released soon.
I think every reader should read " For your consideration" at the beginning of the book, I think it makes the anticipation of getting into the story more enchanted.
All I can really say about this series is it is about the end times and is Bible prophecy.
I am going to include two quotes from the " For your consideration" section and that will help explain why I say read it first, "I repeat NO ONE , knows exactly when God's final prothetic clock will start ticking. Not even Jesus knew when He walked among us. Anyone foolishly setting such dates must think they are more privileged than Jesus was, and should be avoided at all costs." The second quote is " Regardless of how you may interpret the end-times, as long as you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of many and has the power to take away your sins, if you place your complete trust in Him for your eternal salvation, you will be saved."
In conclusion, I say if you read "Chaos: In the Blink of an Eye" by Patrick Higgins you too will be swept up into a series that you will want to read until the conclusion and look at the end times a little more closely and want to be prepared to meet Our Saviour at the end of the world.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
About the Author
Patrick Higgins is the author of The Pelican Trees, Coffee In Manila, the award-winning The Unannounced Christmas Visitor, and the award-winning prophetic end-times series, Chaos In The Blink Of An Eye. While the stories he writes all have different themes and take place in different settings, the one thread that links them all together is his heart for Jesus and his yearning for the lost. With that in mind, it is his wish that the message his stories convey will greatly impact each reader, by challenging you not only to contemplate life on this side of the grave, but on the other side as well. After all, each of us will spend eternity at one of two places, based solely upon a single decision which must be made this side of the grave. That decision will be made crystal clear to each reader of his books. Higgins is currently writing many other books, both fiction and non-fiction, including a sequel to Coffee In Manila, which will shine a bright, sobering light on the diabolical human trafficking industry.
This slow but gradual shrinking away started soon after the Lord impressed upon my heart that the fastest growing religion in America, and the world for that matter, wasn’t Christianity or Islam, but “sports”. Every day of the week—including Sundays—millions of fans fill stadiums and arenas (or shall I say cathedrals?) worldwide to worship their heroes.
Whatever the sport, fans show up in droves to cheer on mere mortals as if they were gods. When their teams win life is good. When they lose life is miserable.
As a once-guilty participant for many years, I should know. The passion most fans have for their favorite players and sports teams is the same passion they should have in pursuing the One who saw their unformed bodies from the foundations of the world, the very One who knit them together inside their mothers’ wombs.
Tragically, this is not the case. Hence, the reason for the CHAOS series. The sporting event chosen for this story was the famed Michigan-Ohio State college football rivalry.
Prior to writing the prequel, I traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan to attend the game. I admit I was just as caught up in the mass hysteria as everyone else. It was impossible not to be swept up into the vortex that had completely engulfed the vibrant college town.
The energy was quite palpable. So much so that I had to remind myself more than once that I was there to research and observe everything connected to the game, then put it all into words for my readers. The sporting event itself was secondary.
Though the prequel initially centers on the football game, in no way is this a sports series. This will become quite clear to you when Bible prophecy comes to pass inside Michigan Stadium, and many vanish into thin air, leaving everyone still inside the stadium utterly panic-stricken.
It was just the beginning of things to come, as life as humanity had known it was forever changed in the blink of an eye…

Guest Post from Patrick Higgins
What started the Chaos in the Blink of an Eye series for me stems from my deep love of sports, which, I admit has diminished considerably over the years. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy watching and attending sporting events whenever I have the time. But these days I view them from an entirely different perspective than when I wore a younger man’s face and displayed a weaker man’s faith in God.This slow but gradual shrinking away started soon after the Lord impressed upon my heart that the fastest growing religion in America, and the world for that matter, wasn’t Christianity or Islam, but “sports”. Every day of the week—including Sundays—millions of fans fill stadiums and arenas (or shall I say cathedrals?) worldwide to worship their heroes.
