The Day the End Began

Days of the Apocalypse, Book 1

De: Mark E. Fisher

Narrado por: Kaeomakana Tiwanak

Margot’s paintings are stunning, terrifying, and prophetic. Within months, the world will end—but few believe her....

The end times predicted in the book of Revelation are about to crash down upon the world. The forces of evil are marshaling under the guise of a man of peace. One woman, gifted with divine prophecy, foretells a time of terrible trial and divine judgment.

Are her visions a gift from God, warning that the coming Tribulation can be avoided? Or are they a trick from the Great Deceiver?

When Dylan discovers her prophecies, his life changes forever, and he joins her. Then people begin vanishing. The world descends into chaos, anarchy, and lawlessness. And her paintings send Margot and Dylan on a dangerous mission. But rushing to stop them—the Antichrist and his legions of evil.

Will they prevail against the dark forces sent to destroy them? Will the world abandon its cynicism and see the hand of God before it’s too late?

Time is running out...for everyone....

The biblical signs are being fulfilled daily. Authoritarian governments everywhere are cowing their citizens. Lawlessness and disorder are tearing society apart. The world turns not to God but to immorality. Churches everywhere abandon the Bible and preach apostasy.

It’s all preparing the world for the coming of the Antichrist and the seven years of Tribulation.

Heeding the signs of the times, Mark E. Fisher presents his eighth novel, The Day the End Began. It's the first in Days of the Apocalypse, his new Christian end-times series, venturing into Christian apocalyptic, dystopian fiction.

Adhering to a Christian worldview, The Day the End Began closely follows the biblical end-times prophecies revealed by God in the books of Revelation, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others.

Biblical background

I liked the story line. It was thrilling and easy to get to know the characters.

The voice of the narrator

I just could not finish the book. The story line is great. But the voice of the narrator hits me like nails on a chalkboard. Just could not listen anymore.

please use a new narrator next time

I liked the story and thought it was fairly well written. There were some things when it comes to operational security that I thought were lacking such as security with the phones and how sloppy they were in that regard. Also if Sergey was such a spy master, he did some very sloppy things like showing up at the apartment that he knows is being watched. In the future when you are talking about reloading a gun that uses magazines please don't call them clips. They are magazines. My big gripe though was the narrator. I couldn't get over the fact that he sounded like a child and didn't really give much vocal personality to any of the characters.

sorry was fair, but got better

the reader was not to my liking for such a story as this blah blah blah

Good story, needs a new narrator

I'd love to hear the next book, but please get a new narrator for the future. It was pretty hard to get going because the narrator sounded like a kid trying to read a serious book... this series deserves someone who can bring the listener into the gravity of the situation, and the characters to life.

Narrator not for us

Story premise is great but narrator wasn't for us. not much else to say

Tom Stone

Hearing the narrator's high voice made me question the book. But, it turned out to be the perfect voice for the young adult characters, especially with his great range.
The plot was fun and very creative and has convinced me to look at "The Day" with wide open eyes.

Great story, but narration not great.

Story is awesome! The person narrating was not good with different voicings for the different characters. His voice was too high and didn’t have a deep enough timbre to really deliver the different character voices. Probably why they switched starting on book 2 to a different and much better narrator. Much better on books #2-5.

Great Book!!

I listen to most Christian fiction titles I can find and I have been an audible member for close to Ten years and have amassed about a thousand audible titles. With that said; I have to say I really, really, liked this book. It’s great when an author stays with in Biblical bounds. I cannot wait for the second book. Yes, I am A fan of the left behind series for the record. Mr. Fisher please keep writing you have fans waiting! But boy if you stay so close to God's word expect in this backwards world to be attacked.

It’s hard to find the right narrator

It’s not that the narrator was bad, but this particular story demands not just male and female voices and accents, but a good demon voice and appropriate voices from God’s throne room!! A tall order. The narrator has a young person’s voice which was not effective for an arch angel or for the anti-christ. The characters lacked depth and just weren’t believable. I like the premise and good Christian fiction is hard to come by. I did want to see where the author was going with this. I wanted to finish it but I do think the characters deserve better voices. It was hard to get past that. Unfortunately this genre (sadly) is less likely to get the readership to command top talent. The part where the author started and finished sounded way too low budget, it was a recording that sounded like he used the mic installed on his computer. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The fate of some left in limbo.
