Hometown Prophet: A Review

My latest Speakeasy title was Hometown Prophet by Jeff Fulmer.  It is a novel set in Tennessee about a man who begins to have dreams about upcoming events.  Upon announcing his second dream in church and it subsequently coming true, the lead character finds himself neck deep in chaos from the local media and former friends wanting a piece of the new prophet.  I did find it interesting that Fulmer made the lead character out to be a normal guy.  He is not religious by many standards and would be the last person that most would consider to be the voice of God, but I guess that's the point.  It seems that Fulmer is really out to force the reader to reconsider whom God might use and how.  The story is good and kept my attention, but I think that was mostly due to knowing the geography and some of the news headlines from the past few years.  All in all it is a good read and I would recommend it.
