WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

“Kristen Wisen has vividly revealed the condition of the church and the world just prior to Christ's Return. An entertaining and biblical crash course that will prepare you for the not so distance future when Christians will be hunted for profit."
 
Marquis Laughlin, Founder & President - Acts of The Word Ministries

“A compelling novel that challenges us to explore what lies beneath the surface of rapidly changing national and world events and, more importantly, our commitment to our faith in the face of growing anti-Christian sentiment.
Through its well-crafted story, Overcomer presents us with tough questions: Are we preparing to face persecution as our religious liberties crumble? And are we students of Scripture, watching and waiting, readying ourselves for Christ’s return?
A gripping book that explores the “What ifs” that are casting shadows over today’s news.”

Shelly Beach, 2008 Christy Award Winner

“In the vein of the bestselling Left Behind series, Kristen Wisen brings a fresh, new voice to the world of Christian fiction. In her second book, Overcomer, she skillfully blends a compelling storyline with characters so real they could live next door and she draws us into a world that might be ours tomorrow. Chilling, gripping, and utterly honest, this book is a must-read for every Christian in today’s uncertain world.”

Diane Noble – Bestselling Author

“Two novels, two home runs; in her current book appropriately called Overcomer Ms. Wisen once again demonstrates her wonderful writing skills and braod knowledge of the last days which lead to the second coming of Christ.
What will it be like during the reign of the Antichrist? And how will he entice or force men and women to take his mark? Some may question a few of her views, but none should question her passionate and powerful challe3nge to be an overcomer.”

Marv Rosenthal, Founder and President of Zion’s Hope

Endorsements for The Appearing:

“Kristen Wisen has followed in the steps of her late father, Robert Van Kampen, who penned two classic books, The Sign and The Fourth Reich. With a firm grasp of what the Bible teaches concerning Christ’s coming and the end of the age, and with a rich, ‘sanctified imagination,’ she answers frequently asked questions like:

• How do we prepare for the Great Tribulation?
• What happens when a person takes the mark of the Antichrist?
• Can believers remain faithful until their King returns in power and great glory?
The greatest storm clouds the world will ever experience are gathering. Here is a book
that will prime the pump of early preparation which can lead to faithfulness and survival.”

“In The Appearing, Kristen Wisen portrays biblical prophecy through a compelling story filled with characters I cheered for, cried for, and grieved for. Her honest portrayal gives us a chilling look at what may happen sooner than we can imagine. I was spellbound as I read—you will be too. Prepare to burn the midnight oil!”

Diane Noble
Bestselling Author

“An intriguing exploration of end times that exposes the inoculating nature of culture and our deadened awareness of spiritual battlefronts. Kristen Wisen paints a vivid picture of the conflicting motives of the heart in a compelling story that asks the questions of faith and commitment we all must ultimately face.”

Reader Submitted Reviews

"My name is Patricia, I am one of the students in Layman’s school of the Bible. First I want to thank you for blessing the school with copies of your book THE APPEARING. I believe it could be used as a witnessing tool; it would open the door so we could share the truth about End Times. It was easy to read and very exciting and some of my favorite parts were about the angels…it really helped put things in perspective for the End Times…I love movies, and this book of yours would be great as a movie!"

"The book was insightful, encouraging, biblically accurate and intriguing. I am pleased to see there are Christian writers that do not find it necessary to present their material I a rough and coarse manner…I hope this is her first of many."

"I am confident that the “Appearing” will effect immediate, positive, spiritual change in any individual who reads it…while I read this book, I found myself consumed within its pages. It was very difficult to put it down…the scriptures became alive to me as if I were watching a great movie. You captured the true nature of man. God’s definition of asleep or dead, really came alive in this book. I love the way each one of your characters had a unique, strategic strategy, planned out, (spiritual vs. worldly). Certainly this book will leave an individual examining oneself, regarding their current relationship (or lack of) with Jesus Christ…all that are in Christ are commissioned to teach others the truth regarding God’s Word and His second coming. In closing, I want you to know that I feel you wrote this awesome book with a style I’d like to call ultimately truthful, spiritually minded, uniquely creative."

"My name is Mora and I am a 74 year old who never liked to read. I just want to say thank you for the wonderful book. I could hardly put it down."

"I really did enjoy reading the novel about “The Appearing.” It was very interesting and also inspiring. It seemed as if I was near some of the characters and could even communicate and worship with them! I marvel at the faith they had even when they were going through so much opposition…the salvation for Nate Reed leaped from the pages of the book into my heart! Your writings let me know that the return of the Lord should be a matter of constant expectancy. It seems the believer’s task is not to try to determine the time of the Second Coming, but we should share the gospel or the good news until He returns."

"I finished your novel as I filled in this week at the front desk. It was terrific! At this point in my life, I am experiencing great personal family grief. Your book focused me on God's bigger picture for our lives as Christians. And yet it portrayed so gently how faithfully God loves each of us and how we are never out of His care. Our God IS an Awesome God! Glory to Him for your faithfulness to obey Him in details of writing and your everyday life."

"I have just finished reading The Appearing. It is absolutely spellbinding…I could not put it down. You are definitely a gifted writer. As time progresses, it will be very interesting to see what parts of your novel become reality! You might be far more prophetic than you know."
