If one wants to read about the political issues during the Donald Trump presidency, this is your book. The main character is a prophet whom God speaks to through dreams. He can tell the difference between a God-initiated dream and a regular dream. It may be the surreal nature of dreams that sets these "visions" aside.
Perhaps it's my living in another country that shelters me from the news about the US, but I don't recall hearing any politician talk about the core issues during the presidency of Donald Trump and his responsibility of how he handled those issues. Upon reading this book, the reader will pick up on a progressive Christian perspective. The real names of those involved in leading the country have been changed but the reader will quickly recognize who they are.
The reader is to be warned. There are references to drinking alcohol, and the prophet does commit the sin of a one-night stand. There is occasional profanity, too. Being the tea-totaling Nazarene that I am, I think this book could maintain its message without these things, so take it as you will.
If these things don't bother you, it will be an easy read that puts historical events like the killing of an African American by a police officer, riots, hurricanes and Covid-19 into perspective.
More to the point is that it leaves the reader with a question to wrestle with, what to do when one knows trouble is coming and how to save lives in the immediate.
