Many know the name Debi Pearl because of her work co-authoring child training books like To Train Up a Child. More recently she wrote the smash hit book, Created to Be His Helpmeet, an ‘in your face’ attack on feminism’s anti-biblical philosophy of marriage and the home. It is, instead, a successful attempt to present the role of married women from a purely Biblical perspective. Predictably, the book stirred up much praise and much criticism.

Now Debi has taken up her pen (or computer) once again in writing the first of a series of well-researched fiction stories. The author acknowledges the story takes place in rural Tennessee where they live and centers on printing and distribution of her husband’s fabulously successful book Good and Evil. This book is like a Bible story book, largely pictures, but with a clear Gospel message. Their goal is to print and distribute it in 100 languages and 25 are already nearly finished.

The Vision may well stir as much controversy as her marriage book. In the story, a plot by Muslim extremists to stop the Arabic translation of the storybook is learned. The man involved in this work was killed and his mentor, Asher, is determined to carry on the work. He moves to the area of eastern Tennessee where the book is printed.

The book is based on well-researched facts, including the use of herbal remedies. The plot thickens as a secret herbal brew, the means of raising money for the book printing and distribution, is the target of a White Supremacist group who covet the monetary value of the brew for their own purposes.

A hint of future intrigue comes as Asher learns about a major fault line that runs through Yellowstone National Park. This threatens to virtually destroy the country with lava and ash if it gives way.

Another woman, Magdalene, who has ruined her life with sin, finds refuge at the printing center, and experiences the love of Christ through the women who surround her. The three groups each move in on their goal, including the Last Publishers who are printing the Arabic book targeting Muslims.

The author’s summary of the book concludes, “But at the most unexpected moment it seems that the terrorists win. Is it over? Is God in control?” Some conflicts are resolved but others are not, leaving you hungry for the next book in the series.

This book, The Vision by Debi Pearl, is bound to provide inspiration, information, excitement, and challenge. It is, perhaps, frightening prophetic.
