This is my first book by Cliff Ball, but his end times series has intrigued me since I first heard of it. "Timothy Phillips" was an easy, enjoyable read I would recommend to anyone interested in keeping up the Christian lifestyle in the midst of temptation. I imagine it probably would appeal particularly to teens and young adults, as the main character is a young man who wins a music competition that propels him into fame and stardom.I expected the book to deal more with end-times issues. Besides a few things going on in the background and at the very end, the story could just as easily have taken place in today's era. I also sometimes got frustrated with the main character, who in the beginning came across as a little judgmental of the people around him.Even though it is set in the end times, the story of Timothy Phillips has a lot of truth and encouragement for Christians today. Nice job, Mr. Ball.
