Customer Reviews

An Incredible Read

My first experience with this author was with the Book of Hours. After thoroughly enjoying that book, I perused the church library for another one of Mr. Bunn's offerings.The Warning, was possibly one of the best books I have read in quite a while. An average Joe, named Buddy Korda, is chosen by God to spread the word about the eminent collapse of the financial markets. Who will listen to this assistant bank branch manager? At first, very few. But as the story progresses, we see that the Spirit of GOD gets the message out to His flock. While those that are from the Wall Street elite try to set him up, harm him, and make continued threats.This book is an awesome story of how God chooses people of humble standing so that the message is the focus and not the messenger. Also, no one can stand against the ultimate will of our Creator.Mr. Bunn's expertise in international banking is evident throughout the book.

Spell Binding

This book was riveting with suspense and intrigue. I especially enjoyed the author's knowledge of the financial arena and the spiritual insight into the Bible and how God has worked in the past. I immediately read the follow up book, "The Ultimatum"

relevant

This book is a must read for Christians at this turn of the century. The inspiration to follow God's leading in all that he has for us to do and trust Him to provide the strength is the main theme. The exortation to live within our means and be satisfied with what the Lord has blessed us with is the underlying theme. The writing, as always with Bunn, is gripping, hard to put down. I am ignorant of financial jargon, but Bunn even made this part of the book relatively easy to understand. I am a big fan of T. Davis Bunn and this book was up to his usual high standards.

A Great Story of God's Provision

"The Warning" is a fictitious account of a looming economic disaster. God instructs banker Buddy Korda to warn his people of the coming crisis through a series of dreams. Buddy knows that the economy is strong, and the stock market has never seen such high daily closings (sounds very familiar). Will Buddy overcome his doubts and fears to warn God's people? Read "The Warning" to find out!

Extermely encouraging

Buddy Korda, an introverted man, is called by God to prophesyto the world about an impending financial collapse in the magnitude ofthe Great Depression. The market is in the best shape that it has ever been, but his visions of the impending disasters are nightmares. "Why would God coose me?", he wonders. (That sounds familiar). He very reluctantly heeds the call and the journey begins. It is a journey that is very compelling from a fictional story standpoint, but even greater is the journey of intense spiritual growth that both he and his wife experience as a result. The book illustrates well the combination of the inner peace that comes through obedience and the exhausting responsibilities that come with this great step of faith. The book is very encouraging by showing how God never abandons His kingdom and how He richly blesses them when they are faithful. It made me examine my own relationship with Christ, which, in my opinion, is what Christian fiction ought to do. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The financial jargon went over my head at times, but otherwise it's a great read.
