Product Description
There grew an element in the valley that did not want to be ruled by the Light of the Word. Over time, they convinced the people to reject it. As they started to reject this Light, the valley grew dim and the fog rolled in. The people craved the darkness rather than the Light because they were evil. They did not want to embrace the Light because it exposed their wickedness. They rejected the Light of the Word and ruled themselves. Those few who had embraced the Light and hated the darkness were killed. Since that time anyone who embraced the Light of the Word, pursued or talked about it were arrested. Those arrested were sentenced to death by stoning. The last prophet gave a prophecy before he was martyred. "The whisperer will come and empower three witnesses that will make manifest the works of darkness and destroy it, and deliver my people from the grip of darkness to the freedom found in the light."
All the Children of the Light were killed off or went into hiding living among the Children of Darkness in secret, not mentioning the Light for fear of death. Generations grew up being ignorant of the Light of the Word and never knowing the difference. No one ever mentioned the Light or dared to even talk about the Light.
One thousand years later, Ezra was awakened from sleep and commanded by the Whisperer, "You must find the Book of Prophesies that will show you the Light of the Word." Thus begins his quest to find out the truth against those that oppose and want to bury it. With the help of his best friends, Jared and a girl named Dara they discover the prophecy. Things get heated and dangerous when they find out they are the three witnesses.

By Stacy
I loved this book! I was immediately drawn in by the imagery and characters. The plot holds your attention well. You won't want to stop reading, even if it's 2 AM. 
It's definitely worth the read and perfect for teens and adults.
(5.0 out of 5 stars) By Bill Alphenaar (Grand Rapids, MI United States)
Ezra, Dara, and Jared are known as the "three witnesses". Empowered by the Whisperer, they have been chosen to deliver the people in the valley from darkness.
This book is a fast read that is difficult to put down. Themes of loyalty, courage, and duty will leave the reader cheering for the three witnesses to successfully accomplish their difficult mission. Teachers, this powerful story is an excellent read aloud that will engage your students and have them begging you to read more!
(5.0 out of 5 stars) A Good Story, July 8, 2014 By Shawn Gormley
This is a story that will appeal to a wide variety of different ages. It's a story between good and evil, but like life, it's so much more complex than that. I was captivated from the first few pages of the book and didn’t want to put it down until the end. Even after that, I didn't want to put it down as I wanted more. I look forward to more writings from Kevin Hoyer and hopefully a sequel for this book, too.

My 10 yr. old daughter was captivated from the moment she started reading. She only wishes there were lots more to read like her favorite Left Behind Kids Series of 40 books. Hope the author writes an entire series to follow up and keep a great story line going. Thanks!

(5.0 out of 5 stars) A must read for this Summer or anytime!, May 22, 2014 By Cheryl Klepper
This capturing, thought provoking, and very relevant story and message is a perfect Summer and anytime read. Mr. Hoyer sees deeply & accurately into what our children/young adults face today, and this should certainly resonate with them! Additionally this book is timely and our young people face many challenges today. This book will keep them interested in, not only, reading to the end, but challenge them positively as well.

I read this book aloud to my 9 year old son. Both he and I found ourselves wanting to read "just one more chapter" again and again. We both loved the action and mystery...and we grew to love the characters. Hoping for a sequel!
