From the very first chapter, I was completely drawn into It’s Time Prophecy. The idea of an ordinary man—a part-time Uber driver from Mobile, Alabama—suddenly finding himself chosen as a modern-day Savior is both unexpected and deeply moving. J.C. Stanton is one of those characters who lingers in your mind long after you’ve finished reading. His struggle to reconcile his human fears with his divine mission feels authentic, raw, and profoundly spiritual.
What I loved most about this novel is how it weaves together faith, fantasy, and realism without ever losing its emotional core. Amid the chaos of Hurricane Faith, the story unfolds with an intensity that mirrors the storm inside J.C. himself. The scenes set in the Mobile Civic Center are cinematic and full of tension, yet Mary Palmer always brings the focus back to the human heart—our capacity for doubt, courage, and redemption.
The eight people J.C. must save each represent something powerful about humanity, and through their stories, I found myself reflecting on my own sense of purpose and destiny. The writing is vivid and thought-provoking, filled with moments that make you pause and think about the world we live in today.
By the time I turned the last page, I felt both humbled and uplifted. It’s Time Prophecy isn’t just a work of fantasy—it’s a spiritual journey that challenges the reader to look inward. It’s the kind of book that makes you believe again in the possibility of grace in ordinary lives.
