Customer Reviews

An excellent reading experience

In this book Mike Farris tells a legally accurate and gripping story about the potential harm the U.N. can do if it improperly performs its role in the world. This book is a masterpiece of storytelling that holds your interest throughout the plot and contains refreshing views on society and the state of our world.

An Excellent and Absorbing Book

An intriguing story with a powerful message. What could have been a very complex and dreary subject--legal proceedings over the U.N. attempting to enforce a treaty regarding children supreceding the laws of the United States--is made alive and interesting. The author captures the real feel and attitudes of the kinds of people who are committed spiritually to Christian values while showing that the threat goes far beyond such people. The subplots are engaging and essential to humanize the characters. The role of the internet and chat rooms is both amusing and enlightening. The ultimate message of the book comes through vividly: there is a genuine and serious threat to American sovereignty by ratifying treaties that invade the personal lives of Americans.
