A strange world greets Emma Dalton on her journey into the future. Chariots are racing through Salt Lake City's streets, Temple Square is surrounded by an electric fence, and earthquake-caused destruction is visible everywhere as Emma embarks on An Escape to Zion, the concluding volume of the Emma Trilogy by Chad G. Daybell.
Such surprises aren't what Emma expected on this day. She'd planned to welcome home her brother Doug after his LDS mission, but an auto accident changes everything. Instead, Emma finds herself several decades in the future -- within months of the Savior's Second Coming.
Emma's intriguing errand places her among some of the most wicked people on earth, which tests her faith to the limit. But after several amazing turns -- including befriending one of the Three Nephites -- she makes her way to New Jerusalem. Her stirring account of the glorious city includes a reunion with family members. After participating in the events at Adam-ondi-Ahman, she gets a glimpse into the Millennium and the First Resurrection.
Most importantly, Emma learns the future isn't necessarily set in stone. After reading An Escape to Zion, you'll be sure to ponder what the future holds for you!
Reviews-
I liked the prophecies and revelation given by Church leaders this book brought out. They concern some of the things that will take place between now and the Millenium and what awaits us beyond mortality.
When I pulled out the first book in the Emma trilogy I had a busy day ahead, but I was due for a short break, so I thought I'd just look at a few pages to see what they were like. Hours later I was still reading. Over the next several days, I burnt the bread, forgot to make dinner and generally neglected my family. I stopped reading only to fulfill the numerous church assignments I had that week. These were easily the three best books I have ever read!
Escape to Zion is a well written book, which shows how life might be before the second coming, and how the decisions we make affect our future and our eternal life. It is about Emma Dalton (the main character from An Errand for Emma)and the mission into the future that she must complete. Chad Daybell has woven prophecy about the last days into a fictional account in a very believable way. You feel like you are right there through all of Emma's trials, as she completes her mission. I feel that this is one of the better written, "Last Days" books to hit the market for awhile.
