Mr. Goodwin, will you be releasing audiobook collections of any of your series, other than Seven Cows and Days of Noah? Here’s hoping! Cheers!
Josh
Josh,
Yes, other series will eventually be coming out as audio box sets. I’ll make sure you get an email notification when they come out. Thanks for your interest!
Mark,
First, I want to say that you’ve become my favorite author in regards to this genre, no one’s better.
Second, I’ve read them all and can’t wait to read Cyber Armageddon but I like to read them one after the other vs every view months. Do you know many books will be in this series?
Brian, thanks so much. I totally understand. It will be a 3 book series with the final installment available in late May 2019.
Mr. Goodwin, approximately 1.5 years ago, I stumbled on your series, ‘Seven Cows, Ugly and Gaunt” and within a few days had ravenously consumed every page. Very rarely do I come across an author that consumes my thoughts, and this series did in a very profound way.
I would very much like to thank you for your works. Your words and very common sense view of the Bible and faith was instrumental for me to ask forgiveness from God, accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and to let Him drive.I am still broken, I still struggle, and as someone that never had a background in religion, I have so much to lean. Your books were His tool to lead me home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your gift.
I look forward to your next books. Please change nothing. It is so refreshing to have fiction that is without sex and also is very thought provoking.
Bless you, sir.
John,
I’m so humbled that God would use my books to draw you closer to himself. Thank you for sharing that.
Having a real difficult time finding paperback box sets of your books
Sorry Phillip, paperback box sets are too expensive to print.
I am working on a bible study. I would like to use your photo on the Ark on the Covenant that is on the Ezekiel 9:3-7 page. I am hoping to make this study into a booklet; that is why I am asking.
Thomas, I don’t own the rights to that. Sorry.
Any update regarding the audio release of Book 4 of the Ava’s Crucible series?
Doug,
Ava’s Crucible is only a 3-book series. However, book 1 of my next series, Cyber Armageddon should be out in audio format in mid-January.
Mark! Just want to say brother that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your books. Right now I am on book three of the economic collapse chronicles and man…another great story. I enjoy reading your works because in addition to awesome entertainment, I find myself learning from the books and finding new things to add to my preps. I also appreciate the scripture at the beginning of the chapters, clever way to foreshadow whats to come. Thanks for hiding those gems in the pages man! I do have a question, do you have any plans to write another follow up series? I thought the Days of Noah/Days of Elijah series was AWESOME! Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks! No plans for any follow-up series, but Cyber Armageddon should be out early in 2019!
Hey Mark…interested in the IFAKs mentioned in your .pdf…are those still available?
Tim,
Not right now. We’re a long way from the post office so logistics is an issue. Thanks for your interest!
I just finished all 3 Ava’s Crucible books , I had a hard time putting them down! Great writing! Thanks
Thanks for reading!
We now have every single book you have written…are there more coming?
Thanks for your support! Cyber Armageddon should be out early next year!
Looking forward to reading it! I am new to your books and have been enjoying them a lot but they also bring to bear the true situation we are in and scare the crap outta me. Thank you so much for your perspective! I live in East Tennessee and we are hoping to be more vigilant in our preparation for any global or continental event 🙁 LOVE your books!!
Thanks!
Hi Mark,
I am just curious. Will you still continue to write novels? I’ve read all of your series and they’re great. I enjoy the information and the fact that you write with a Biblical perspective. I hope that you continue. God Bless!
Richard, Yes. Cyber Armageddon should be out early next year! Thanks for your encouragement.
Just wanted to say thanks. Thank you for writing good books, that are enlightening, educational and entertaining – while spreading the Word !
Wish I’d found them earlier, but so grateful for them.
I know you’re taking a break, but if you want to bring in a little extra income I suggest you sell The Great Tribulation, The Days of Elijah and Ava’s Crucible on Kindle in a box set.
I already own the Days of Noah, The Economic Collapse Chronicles and EMP Survival Box Set.
It’s REALLY nice to have them all in one file so you can read them in a row and not worry about reading them out of order. I’m sure it’s a lot easier to format them in one book rather than write a new series and it provides great value. (In my opinion) Keep up the great work.
PS: while re-checking my post I realized the the great tribulation and the days of Elijah are the same series. it just further makes my point. Some books start with the days of Elijah, some start with the name of the book, some have the book number. It’s a whole lot easier if they are in one file.
Thanks for the tip!
I agree. I just started reading the EMP survival series and I too like having them in a box Kindle set.
Get Mark,
I am new to your books and I love them. Been going through The Days of Elijah series. What was your first novel and how did you get started at writing them? God bless.
I’ve read Ava’s Crucible book 1 & 2, when United we stand (book 3) be out?
Thanks for reading. It should be out in August.
I listened to Ava’s Crucible, Seven Cows Ugly and Gaunt series, and the Days of Noah series. Thank you for choosing Kevin Pierce and Stacey Glemboski as narrators.
I wanted to share a little of my life the past several years up to this point. I will try to keep it short and not give too many personal details in a public forum.
I have had dreams and visions for the past 9 years and have been told that I will not see what is about to happen until it has already happened. And from my house catching fire to an unfortunate turn in my life the word and examples God has made of my life situations his word to me has held true.
But your books bring something to mind that has been near and dear to my heart these past several years. Watching believer turn on believer and also those proclaiming and professing faith to be turning from the leading of the Holy Spirit–one thing remains clear in my mind.
Compassion and hope for the hearts of those believers to turn back to Christ, wither in this life or on that last great day–with tears for those I know are Christs’ to turn their hearts back to him.
Thank you for letting Christ worth through you to his glory and praise, for the hope of his return and our great salvation at his coming. Hoping none are lost along the way.
Thank you to you, your family, and your team that helps your books become available to those of belief. They are a great encouragement.
Thanks for reading!
I have been looking for the suggested reading order of your books. I thought I had seen it somewhere but can no longer find it.
Thanks Mark!!
Days of Noah comes before Days of Elijah, otherwise it doesn’t matter. Thanks for your interest.
May this email find you and yours well! As a Christian woman , prepper initiate thanks to God for putting your work in my path, and a Patriot, I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to read and listen to your work openly. I have read/listened to all your books and was wondering if you could suggest any other similar books by other authors? I send my prayers that you and your family continue to prosper spiritually and my thanks for helping my own spiritual growth!
Check out James Wesley Rawles. Thanks for reading!
Hi Mark,
Is Felix from Puerto Rico, I am a big fan of your books. I just finished the Book Four and really I am hook with the theme.
I only want to call your attention to one small detail. I recognize your particular cosmovisión of history and religion. I, in many aspecto have the same views, moral and religious values, and above all we have the faith in one almighty God.
The point is, there is more that Europe and the US. Remember south america, Australia and, for an example the Caribbean also exist. Please, mention our part of the world in you next novel.
Today I have ordered the Ava book from Amazon. Please keep writing and educating me about prepping and religion.
Thanks for reading!
Mark, your a great writer. I’ve read the Days of Noah series, The days of Elijah series and have started American exit strategy. I have also purchased the rest of this series as well as Seven cows, ugly and gaunt. In the Days of Elijah series, you brought the book of Revelation to life! It was an awesome read. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks for reading!
Just read the days of Noah and it’s sequel. It was really good, I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to more books of this kind!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I read all your books on kindle. Got my wife to try them also. Keep it up. Not a lot of books that are a quality clean read. Looking foreward to the next.
Thanks for reading!
Hello Mark,
Love your books.
It will be great if you could make movies.
I would buy it all.
Thanks so much for reading!
Hey Mark, Are you going to sell Wormwood in MP3 format like you did Apocalypse?
Kevin,
No. Direct sales were super low. I’ll be sticking with Audible for now. Thanks for your interest.
Hi Mark,
This is Felix from Puerto Rico.. I just finished the new book Wormwood. Just for the record, OUTSTANDING AS ALWAYS.
On my heels waiting for the third one.
God Bless you and your family.
Thanks so much for reading!
I enjoyed it also, Will there be a third book to this series? I hope so!
Thanks
John
And a fourth! I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for reading.
I really like your podcasts though I do have to say the two americas part II felt more like a sermon than a prepper podcast. I get religion and all of that though I am not religious (at all) but I could not listen to the whole thing. at any rate keep up the good work!!!!
Any word on when A Haunt for Jackals will be available in audio book format?f
Doug, It has been submitted to Audible for their very long approval process. It should be out before Christmas. Thanks for your interest!
I had no idea theirs was a long process. Oh well… what you write is worth the wait. Keep up the good work.
So , in the past week or 2 Google must have delisted you on Google Home. I could play your podcast when I first got it on cyber Monday . Ok, Google . Play pepper recon podcast. And it would play . …now I tried today and it says , I’m sorry I can’t play it yet. ….. ugh
I may be considered “Fake News” It’s always best to navigate to Prepper Recon directly. Thanks for listening and thanks for the heads up.
I’m trying to find a contact for the product so i can tell Google I will return it if they don’t Un blacklist prepper recon. I can’t believe they take off my favorite Christian prepper show.
Could you make a tune in.com channel. Google can’t delist that , I don’t think. Tune in will work with Google home and amazon alexa. …I actually think they didn’t remove you from Google play music / podcast as much as I think they somehow really blocked you from being played on the device from any source. Kinda why I would love it if you link to tunein. Also there is a Google play link just for podcast , it’s new , you have to be the podcast owner to submit. Try doing Google that way.
Jd, Thanks for the tip. I’m not a fan of devices that can listen in on your conversations. Despite their conveniences, they acclimate us to a higher level of surveillance. I’d prefer that folks direct navigate to PrepperRecon.com. The only way that can be blocked is by direct government intervention, which will probably come, sooner or later.
Yeah I’m not a fan of always on listening. You can mute these , but I wouldn’t be surprised if it still records. I have come to accept the fact that privacy is dead. Im the person that wouldnt ever give out my ss# to blockbuster, utility co., no one. But then 2 years ago i finally got a smart phone and they can listen on those mics , plus google chrome can turn your mic on any device you have chrome on. And more and more devices are listening, and monitoring. So yeah i reluctantly got one. Anyway keep up the great work. I saw you on hagman. I heard you bring up the Google blocking you fiasco, that was awesome. Well yeah you should put your ip. Address on the site home page , maybe small under the prepper recon banner. That way if they block your DNS or take them down people can type that address in their browser (example; http://203.000.00.0) and still get here.
Update. … so I’m not sure if they had complaints (I did call Google home support) or if it was something else. But as of now the prepper recon podcast is back . I still surf the website for all your great info and articles and would love to see your ip address so I can save it just in case for some reason dns name servers go offline, I can still access your page.
Awesome! Thanks for the update.
I noticed you haven’t had JWR on lately. Has anyone heard when the next “Land of Promise” book will be out?
Also, Lightning Fall, by Bill Quick was also to have a book two. Anyone heard anything about that? Thanks!
SGC, We’ll try to get JWR back on early next year. I’ll ask him about Land of Promise 2 when we speak. Thanks for listening!
I just notice you are releasing a new book. I’m so glad. I just got a second vehicle (a pickup truck) and I need to win another Individual First Aid Kit to keep under the seat! 🙂
Awesome! You’ll definitely get another chance to win!
So when will you put together “The Days of Elijah” box set for kindle? I need to enter a new drawing. 🙂
Soon, but the Ava’s Crucible Giveaway is just around the corner!
I love the new Ava books and wanted to know when the next on will come out. Also I wanted to re-post my original post. Thanks
“I noticed you haven’t had JWR on lately. Has anyone heard when the next “Land of Promise” book will be out?
Also, Lightning Fall, by Bill Quick was also to have a book two. Anyone heard anything about that? Thanks!”
Steve,
Thanks for reading. Book 3 will be out in a couple weeks, Lord willing.
i just found out about your site …..
wow-oh-wow …. incredible ….. mucho to digest = terrific
thanks so much for what you are doing – an enlightenment and challenge
Thanks for checking us out!
Just now listening to your interview of John Theo pt2 and your comment on donating to the NRA. The GOA (Gun Owners of America) is far more in support of the second amendment having nothing to do with hunting. If you do your research the NRA has been involved in drafting every “gun control” bill since the 1920’s, including all that came after the Connecticut school shooting many of which were defeated. Do everyone a favor, if you believe the second amendment is about preventing tyranny both foreign and domestic, drop out of the NRA and join the GOA. Many of the legislators rated A+ by the NRA are D rated by GOA. Thanks again for your site and the Bible based books you right and promote.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into that.
after listening to your podcast wanted more information on the academy. I can’t find it on the site. Can you post a link so I can get some information.
Ray,
Sorry, you’ll have to refresh my memory. I’ve had a lot of different projects going on lately. Which podcast were you referring to, and which academy?
Read all of your books can’t wait for more! Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us. Don’t want to rush but hurry with the rest.
I’m writing as fast as I can. 😉 Thanks for reading.
I noticed Ichabod or Book Two of the Seven Cows, Ugly and Gaunt series is now available in paperback or Kindle on Amazon.
Do you have any word on when the audio version will be released?
Doug,
It has been submitted and approved by Audible, so I’m hoping this week. I’ll send you an email when its available.
Mr. Goodwin my name is Zach and I just finished The days of Noah all three books and I will be honest when I started them I was extremely skeptical , of religion that is , I am an avid prepper and a patriot so I was enjoying the books on that basis … i had lost my faith in God years ago while serving in operation Iraqi freedom and watching my friends and my brother dropping like flies . The way I explained it to everyone is that I still believed in God it’s just that we were not on speaking terms… But somewhere along the way I found myself reaching out … I found my faith in God again and I guess I want to say thank you for that… I am so so looking forward to Days of Elijah again thank you
Zach, thank you for your service and thank you for sharing that with me.
God bless,
Mark
It was my honor to serve our nation. Out of curiosity when is the Elijah series expected for release I am very excited to read them!!
It should be out this fall. Ichabod, Book Two of Seven Cows, Ugly and Gaunt will be out in mid July. Thanks so much for reading!
Will the audible version of ichabod be released the same day as the book?
No, it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks longer for audible to approve the audio book. Thanks for your interest!
Hi from Florida! I enjoy the podcast! Will a super EMP disable a solar generator? Thanks!
Brian, Thanks for listening. A super EMP is pretty tough to beat, but there are some things you can do to harden the individual components. Go back and listen to the interview with Dr Peter Pry and John Jacob. Here are the links. https://prepperrecon.com/comms-emp/ https://prepperrecon.com/practicing-your-plan/https://prepperrecon.com/emp-threat/ https://prepperrecon.com/dr-pry-emp-threat-pt-2/
Hello. My name is Rick. I recently heard your podcast wherein you commented on your distaste for on-line articles that include foul language. I wanted to commend you for this position: I don’t see how any Americans can hope to set their country aright without realizing that clean-living before our God is what earns us the “smiles of Heaven” as Mr. Washington puts it.
Many are seeking a more proper relationship with government, and one could say this is both a private and public matter. I was noticing that Alabama is considering dropping the requirement for marriage licenses, which is not true in almost every other State:
http://sgtreport.com/2016/04/alabama-restores-family/
Karl Denninger points out is his remarks about the move by Alabama that it not only relieves public servants of conscience from granting inappropriate licenses, but negates the claim that States make on the marriage and offspring by getting the State out of the marriage definition and permitting business.
I have a friend that has written an entire book on this subject, from a Christian perspective. His name is Joshua Paul and ere is his website:
http://thebiblicalmarriage.com/
I think this is an important foundational message about how to extricate oneself, one’s God-given mate and family, from the legal entanglements that the marriage license represents.
Alabama proposes to replace the license with a voluntary registry. Vows are to be private matters between individuals, and of course in the case of Christians, God. This is the way it used to be. This is the way it should be. We should need no one’s permission to wed and honor God.
In any event, if this topic is of interest, as it seems to me to be a sort of ultimate personal prepping… and perhaps very useful information for the style of government that may be ahead in the future of America, please feel to contact Joshua directly at joshua.paul@thebiblicalmarriage.com. if you so desire.
Rick, I agree 100%. The church should have never let the state get involved with marriage. . . or welfare . . . or education.
Mark, love your books, podcasts and products, (trauma kit, etc.) I hear you talking about the solar oven a lot. One of your often mentioned reasons for getting one is the smoke from fire attracting people. I think it is important to make a distinction between geographical location, whether in the Southern or Northern climates regarding use/days and effectiveness of the solar oven. I am in a very rural area in Montana and everyone would be heating with wood out of necessity. For me, just having a full 500 gallon propane tank would allow cooking for a long time. I don’t plan to bug out and if I did I’m not sure the solar oven would go with me. I can also use propane to operate my propane refrigerator. Not being unrealistic, but practical, doing the math it would last longer than 18 months. If the apocalypse lasted longer than that I’d be making contingency plans.
Excellent point, Bob. There aren’t many one-size-fits-all solutions to prepping. Everyone has to take into account there particular needs and environment.
Mark, I came across your work pretty recently, have read and/or listened to (Audible) The Economic Collapse Chronicles and Days of Noah since then, every one of your books has been valuable and impactful. I so appreciate your work.
I admit, I’m late waking up to reality, I have been complacent, but have started taking action to be prepared.
Looking for resources, blog postings, information for folks who live in the city, getting started, and $ are tight. Makes sense to prepare for emergency survival + as much more as I can do, and work to relocate (which will be longer term), but… I could use some pointers.
Thanks for your great work!
Thanks for reading. I just emailed you a copy of my Seven Step Survival Plan which will help you get started on not much money.
God bless,
Mark
Dear Mark,
I wanted to pass along an event that happened to me a few years ago while at a farmer’s market regarding an everyday carry bag.
I was out with my sons (who have severe allergies and need medical supplies carried with them all of the time). My sons were
young so I brought along my coyote tan Maxpedition bag, inside were their meds, a few odds and ends as well as some Everyday Carry
items for myself (pistol, flashlight, spare batteries, spare mag and fire making supplies.) The Maxpedition patch that is located
in the center of a velcro strip was covered by a ham radio logo patch so it could not be seen. While at the market I found myself
in a confrontation with 3 individuals who, were clearly looking for trouble. Generally I believe in a simple rule, “Don’t do stupid
things in stupid places with stupid people”. Simple yes and in this instance none applied until I ran into these three. Within
seconds they identified my bag and seemed to know the possiblies within it. I could tell that they too had “items” with them although
theirs were concealed under clothing. I quickly removed myself from the situation and escorted my sons away from the men and the
market for that day. I have since returned but never saw the 3 men again. However, my Maxpedition bag hasn’t seen the light of day
since. This lone event has drastically changed my views of Everyday Carry, as well as a bug-out bag. I strongly don’t believe in
using a bag for your bug-out bag that has the following areas of noticability; 1. Camo of any kind. In my area any camo says I’m
a hunter, outdoorsman, like guns and so forth. Go with simple plain and basic colors that won’t stand out. My official bug-out bag
is black. 2. Branding. Companies spend a lot of money on branding and therefore in our world of over-marketing, mass exposure and
advertising a bag that SHOUTS Molle-Compatable or Militant is NOT the bag to blend in or to be the “gray man” while attempting to
get home safely. A bag and brand that the masses would buy for school (high school or college), day hikes or as an overnight bag
are a safer and frankly more camoflaged way to go. My choice has been a black North Face Recon backpack. These bags are all over
campus’ and are a dime a dozen being sold at every sporting goods store, mall and outlet around the country. 3. Clothing, be sure
not wear something that say (if only by style) “Shoot me first! I might have gun.” This means no surplus camo, no 5.11 cargo pants,
no jackets with velcro on the arms and chest for patches. And no “Don’t Tread on Me” logos, patches, shirts and bumper stickers.
4. This brings me to vehicles. Putting stickers all over your vehicle that advertise what brand of fire arm you like, shoot and carry
is not a good idea in my humble opinion. It does however do just that, advertise you like guns. A LOT. So no S&W, H&K, and NRA stickers
if you want your vehicle to be a “gray car” just like being the “gray man” walking home. In conclusion, I may keep my firearm in my
bag, but it has holster I can quickly put on my person and conceal. My back pack says “dime a dozen” and I most certainly won’t
have a long arm bag strapped to it to “hide” a larger firearm as I’m walking home. No that won’t stand out. Movement is life, and
staying away from large groups would be key. Keeping to the outskirts would help to prevent confrontations should you need to hike
it home. I feel that there are far too many preppers and everyday carry folks who will stand-out more than blend in simply because
they have a coyote tan, molle compatable pack. If there is a roit, police know what molle is. Why stand out? Either for those who
would do you harm or those who don’t know if you are a viable threat and part of the problem/riot? Keep it gray, blend in and take
note as to what items, packs and clothing is common for your region. I use to travel extensively for work and quickly realized that
every 5th person in an airport seemed to be wearing a black North Face Denali fleece jacket. So I got one too. True Camo. Thank you
for your time and energy you put in your podcasts.
Sincerly,
Shawn
Shawn, great advice on blending in. Thanks for taking time to share your experience.
REad the whole Days of Noah series a few months ago and just finished the Economic Collapse series this week. Amazing stuff. Love the podcasts to. Thanks for spreading the truth!
Thanks for reading and listening!
I have listened to all of your audio books more than a few times. The best in my opinion is Days of Noah.
I used to live in the region in and around Winchester VA and still do live close to the region. With the detail you use about the Winchester area I have to believe you have spent some time there? Every time I visit Gander Mountain I am reminded of the references in your book.
I sincerely hope you retain Kevin Pierce as your audio book narrator. It would surely spoil your future audio books if a change is made.
God bless,
Doug
Kevin makes the books come alive. We’re a team as long as its up to me. Thanks for listening!
I finished the Book of Noah trilogy and am hoping for more. Are you working on the Days of Elijah?
Janet,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the books. All glory to God. Seven Cows, Ugly and Gaunt should be out this Spring. I’m shooting to have Elijah out in early 2017.
Thanks for reading and thanks so much for your feedback.
Thank you! I’ve been anxiously awaiting word on the Elijah series. It’ll be hard to wait a whole year, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
Thanks so much for your interest and thanks for stopping by PrepperRecon.com!
I’m looking for a reliable solar solution for a barn but I don’t know where to start. Will only have minimal power requirements.
Try contacting Jim at SolarGoKit.com. He sells lots of components for small systems and, as a former NASA engineer, can talk you through putting it together.
Thank you
Just finished ” The Days of Noah: Book 3″. WOW! What I loved about the series is that it is very much a possible future reality. I read quite a bit but what I really appreciate and respect is that you bring Christ into all your books. Thank you for what you do, and may God continue to bless you and your family. Oh, and for the record I would love to read a follow up series on Elijah!
Thanks for reading!
I am interested in your books and I would like to know do you believe in a pre trib rapture? Please answer.
I’m pan-trib, which means I believe it will all pan out when Jesus returns. I’m well acquainted with the arguments for both pre and mid-trib viewpoints and find compelling reasoning in both. In short, I’m praying for pre-trib rapture and prepping for a mid-trib rapture. 😉
How’s the situation in the Orlando and surrounding areas? I may be getting a job there so I’m looking for any info of the area I can get. Thank you.
Mr Goodwin-
Quick question on food storage and Mylar bags/oxygen absorbers:
Do you use them or do you just throw items directly into the bucket and seal the lid.
Thanks!
-Jamee
Depends on what you’re storing. For beans, rice, salt, sugar, that sort of thing, I just put it in the bucket with a gamma seal lid. If I were concerned with maintaining freshness, lets say, flour, coffee or things like that, I used to use mylar and oxygen absorbers. I’ve been using food saver bags for those types of items, but hear the seal eventually breaks down. If I see that happening, I’ll go back to mylar.
Thanks!
You did a podcast on us with a story (https://prepperrecon.com/prepper-dog/) in 2013. We have changed our website address and was wondering if you would be so kind as to change the link on the page to http://www.patriotdog.com/personal-protection-dogs.html
Thanks in advance
Steve Gorman
Done.
Just finished the American Exit Strategy. I wish it was fiction, continue your good work…
Thanks for reading. I’m glad you liked it!
Dear Mark,
I know this is a trivial question but, I wanted to know where you got the intro. The lady leading with Obama to bring food and gasoline. I would love to see the context of it. Thank you, and love what you do.
YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCAkh5QbYWI It’s in NY right after Hurricane Sandy. Thanks for listening!
As a street preacher, I really loved Pastor Keith on your show. If you ever want to interview someone who takes the Great Commission to the streets in our fallen country, feel free to call me. 720-289-3918 – Steve Bauer.
Loved all 6 of your books BTW. Got my whole family reading them!
Thanks for listening and reading. I’ll keep your number handy!
OUTSTANDING!! I enjoyed The Days of Noah Book Three even more then One and Two. PLEASE do continue with The Days of Elijah. That would be wonderful to read about the Messenger of GOD and those he leads to the Lord.
I also want to thank you for having Kevin Pierce read your books. His reading brings to life the characters and feelings of the books. Great choice!
The Lord bless thee and keep thee
The Lord make His Face to shine upon thee; and be gracious unto thee
The Lord lift up His countenance thee, and give thee peace.
Bless you,
Beti
Thanks for reading and thanks for your feedback! God bless!
I want to second everything Beti said.
I am a fan of books such as these but none of them have impacted me greater than your books. I was happily astonished by the ending of Book Three.
Please continue with The Days of Elijah and the exceptional narration of Kevin Pierce.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your feedback! God bless!
Dear Mark, I just listened to the interview with Pastor Kieth Iton, it was so great. I listen to all your podcasts and they are all very edifying but this one was especially good. I agree with both of you 100%. I am a pretrib rapturist but I’m a prepper. I believe that we will see tribulation and more persecution as Christians. American Christians live in a materialistic fog. We have so much abundance that we don’t know what real suffering is, even our “poor.” I am pretrib because of my study with Zola Levitt. He explains why the rapture will be before the Great Tribulation, I encourage you to give it a listen. I don’t believe that I’m going to be rescued from what is to come as far as living under less than “normal” conditions. I pray for mercy so we have time to “get out of town” and set up a retreat for those that would come. I have not had any visions or dreams, but when I hear the words from you watchers it rings true in my heart and mind. I’m finishing up your last book and I appreciate the lessons you have sprinkled in to the story. I wish there was a way to comment on the YouTube channel, seems easier. I have to tell you that you are my go to for prepping advice and information and I really appreciate all your efforts. I hope Pasotr Kieth comes back soon, I could’ve listened to him for hours!!! Thanks again and happy prepping! Bren
I’m so glad you enjoyed the show. Unfortunately, YouTube was becoming a sounding board for trolls and I was spending too much time sifting through fowl language and hateful rhetoric, so I had to disable comments there.
Mark, love your podcasts and books, man! They are absolutely fantastic resources. You had an interview with Farmer Steve a few weeks ago. He referenced going to your state college extension for detailed info on farming and such. Here’s the link to the UGA extension, for those who live in Georgia. http://extension.uga.edu/publications/index.cfm. A ton, TON of info on here for free. Who knew? Well not me until I listened to your blog. Great work sir!
Awesome! Thanks for listening and thanks for sharing the link!
are there communities people can b a part of if couldn’t do prepping on their own? I live in Covington GA 30016
Thank you
Donna,
Check out meetup.com and look for groups in your area that are into prepping, survival or outdoor activities.
any idea when you will have Days of Noah book 3 on audible? My attention span is awful, but when I read with the audible at the same time it sticks better…
Michael, I am really hoping it will be out by 10/1, but it’s hard to be sure with Audible. Their approval time can take several weeks.
what’s the song and band that begins the podcast? It sounds familiar as all can be but I can’t place it to save my life.
Fugazi- Waiting Room- Thanks for listening!
THanks sir! I thought it was Verbal Assault. Never got into Fugazi much, however.
Listened to your podcast in 2013 with Full Spectrum Survival. I would like to buy their DVD they mentioned but they seem to have gone offline. Any idea where I can purchase one?
Sorry, I don’t have any information on them. Thanks for listening.
I have read your “Noah” series, and I think you should continue with the “Elijah” series. I have been a semi-prepper since the Y2K days. I am convinced we are in the last days, but as the Bible says, we know not the day. I have downloaded your Prep handbook and plan to make many preparations. We live on the outskirts of a medium large city, but have a place over a 100 miles away that we plan to go to.
Thanks for reading and thanks so much for your feedback.
I am looking for solutions for solar power for a 20X50 barn so I can have at least one building off grid.

Hi Mark! I’ve read all your books and listen to your podcast regularly. Great stuff! I have recently decided to start my own blog at http://www.SustainablePrepper.net and am hoping to gain your approval to mention some of your works in one of my posts. Thanks, and keep up the great work!!!
Absolutely! Congratulations on starting your blog. I pray God will bless it!
Hi Mark,
I have question about the manual well pump you mentioned in the show. I have a well that’s 75+ ft deep, inside a well house that’s about 4ft tall. It contains our pressure tank so there is not adequate room for a large pump. I’ve looked at Flojak but these are a lot more expensive than the setup you mentioned. What do you recommend- brands, type of pump, etc? Also are you pumping the water into a pressure tank?
Thanks! Love the show!
Karen,
Thanks for listening. I can’t remember the brand, but I ordered the pump from Home Depot online. Just type “hand pump” into the HomeDepot.com search box. Here is what it looks like. https://youtu.be/GIRAm5gaUhg
Just wondering,what’s your thoughts on Jonathan Cahn appearing on Benny Hinn,TBN,Jim Baker,The Blaze Network,etc,etc. i don’t mean to be a devil’s advocate,but my discernment(about certain aspects of his teachings)compels me to examine this much more. http://www.biblicalintegrity.org/2014/09/19/mystery-of-the-shemitah/
Johnathan is just pointing out the historical data of the cycle and the US’s continued path away from God’s Word. It’s a shame that charlatans and snake oil mongers like Hinn and Baker are the only ones who will give him a platform to get his message out.
Hello Mark,
Question about NBC. Besides face masks and filters, would heavy duty PVC type raincoats be effective barrier? Any other ideas how to use common off the shelf clothing for protection? Any links to those that offers those items?
Thanks,
Paul
Paul,
AllergyBeGone.com used to have great deals on masks. They still have NATO filters for $15, which is what I’d recommend. A heavy rain coat would help, but full body cover is better. Camping survival has masks, but they are around $250.
Started watching the newest Friday Night Movie you just posted…about the Shemitah…while i don’t discount it,i am having a problem with how it’s being promoted. The first 5 minutes+ felt like a infomercial..buy the book,dvd,etc,etc. I am newly converted back to God(Amen)..I am praying,yet getting prepared…call it covering ALL my bases. All I’m saying is,please keep an open eye/mind about how things are gonna play out…Keep up the good work. Thanks. g
Gene,
Thanks so much for watching. Keep in mind that Johnathan charges nothing for speaking, so he has to get the bills paid some how. It seems more biblical to me to offer a product of value rather than begging for handouts. Hope that helps. Keep praying and keep prepping! God bless,
Mark
yeah,i understand about paying the bills…don’t get me wrong…i ain’t trying to rock the boat. only problem i got with it is the whole Jim Baker slant. Just my 2 cents…nothing more,nothing less…you are an add value to the cause…thanks for the reply..stay safe. g
Ha ha, Jim Baker. Have you ever watched Jim Baker when he doesn’t have a guest? It’s a one hour infomercial for the same Augason farms long-term-storage food that you can buy on Walmart.com. Jim sells it for roughly 4x the Walmart price. And he’s selling condos again! Now he is a huckster.
FYI..Love the podcast..been on them for the past 2 days(playing catch up)…But,seriously?..The Kathy Albright show..i had to quit at the 11 min mark..she TALKED,and TALKED…did not glean any useful info….WOW.
Hi Mark, good stuff on your podcasts man keep bringing them. Have you moved out of Florida yet? Me and my family are at that pass in the road and I could always use some advice and guidance. If you can please shoot me an email I have lots of questions.
Cat
Cat,
We’re still in Florida, but we did relocate to a much more sustainable location. The best way to figure out what you should do about relocating is take a day to fast, pray and spend some time in the word.
God bless,
Mark
Is it possible to add an episode number to the front of the file name so that they automatically sort in the correct order. In Itunes it knows the date/time created but if I copy to my phone it does not and so goes alphabetically (I.e Podcast 111 Name of Podcast).
Tim, great suggestion. I’ll look into it. If we can do it with out creating a longer file name, I’ll do it. Thanks!
Just finished book three of the Economic Collapse Chronicles – GREAT READING also the Days of Noah. Your Christian Faith and the guidance offered by the scriptures you select is greatly appreciated. May God continue to bless you and the work you do!!
Thank you so much!
I have subscribed to your podcast and download directly to my Ipod. Problem is, only the 10 most recent podcasts are available. Are they being limited on your end or am I missing something on my end in the settings?? Have checked and double checked…can’t seem to figure it out.
Thanks
iTunes, Stitcher and other podcatchers do whatever they do, but you can always click the “podcast archives” tab at the top of the home page and download all of the shows from the past two years. Thanks for listening!
Mark
When is Days of Noah III going to be released. I have read all 5 of your books and loved them.
Thanks Kevin. It should be out in October, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.
Hi mark. I’m a big fan. I was wondering what your thoughts of north Florida for a safer relocation area in the case of collapse. I’m currently in winter springs ( by orlando) I’m thinking of making the panhandle my new location in the next few years. Thanks for all you’re doing
-Shaun
Conservative, self-sufficient population, lots of natural resources and low population density. You could do a lot worse than Northern Florida. Sounds like a move in the right direction.
Hey Shaun, I’m currently in Gainesville (not an area known for being a bastion of conservative values but I’m in a PhD program here) and always looking to network. Is there an appropriate way to share contact information here? I’m very new to this site but found it through the host/author’s books that read eerily like what I imagine my life could be like; currently in Florida with family in eastern Kentucky. Made for spooky reading with some of the locations!
I am not only a fan of your books, but your website and podcasts as well-you have a seemingly endless supply of great guests and topics. I recently came across an interesting newsletter by Chuck Coppes. In it he mentions a 20 year civil war against “We the People” by the DHS all in the name of (COG). Any chance you could snag him as a future guest of yours? Best Wishes.
Sounds like he’d be a great guest. I’ll try to get him on the show.
Mark, I’m a big fan who has appreciated both your first series and, now, the Noah chronicles – I can’t wait for book 3!
Your description of the relationship of our Constitution to the Bible contained in “American Meltdown” is beyond elegant. I have been tempted to transcribe it into essay form to distribute to friends but don’t want to plagiarize your good work. This information needs to be out there and, though your book is very worthwhile, many folks won’t read the entire text in order to glean the information. Have you put your “treatise” in essay form? If so, I’d gladly buy copies! What say ye?
I say write it and distribute as you feel led to. You have my blessing!
Hello, Can you do a POD Cast on 401Ks. People will loose to much of their long term investment by pulling it out. Lets use Fidelity, what are some good safe funds to move to before the Sept. collasp. How can we protect our money so we do not loose it as fast compaired to high risk funds?
Say Mark I saw a military grade, light weight and compact solar unit that would unroll, like a blanket and allow you to recharge a number of devices out in the field. I was wondering if I saw it on your website and if so would you point me in the direction of the company that manufactures it. BTW congrats on your recent book!
Thanks so much! SolarGoKit.com and Jim will be happy to build a kit specific to your needs. He’s a former Space Shuttle Engineer, so he knows what he’s doing.
Hello Mark,
You got talent… I’m fixated with bated breath, looking forward to The Days of Noah Book 3. You let me hanging. Have to know how the opp turns out. The night before the opp, you have one of the main characters trying to settle down by reading the Psalms. Oh so true. I turned to Ps 147 that night before bed and spoke it out load. Had no idea that I feel to sleep.
Hope there is a Books 4 also in the works… Too much to ask?
Best,
Paul
Paul, thanks so much for reading. I’ll have to see how three goes, there could be a four. 😉
Enjoy your books but like most books in the genre it’s always sad to see people struggling to recreate 1800s technology after a collapse. It never occurs to any prepper that such will be the case. Everyone focuses on immediate survival and never thinks of the long term. The information is free and available to anyone who cares to look. http://www.survivorlibrary.com. 7700 books and continuing to grow. All public domain and free of charge.
Thanks!
Hello Mark,
I recently listened to your discussion with Jim Thompson on addictions from 4/1/15. Great show.
I would like to share a resource with you and your audience. The web page(s) is http://www.puredesire.org/ or http://www.conquerseries.com/. Pure Desire Ministries is focused on setting free men and women from sexual addiction.
They have a DVD set that is called, The CONQUER SERIES. These DVD’s are packed full of info. They really dive into reason we have addictions, not just sexual. How GOD created our brains to work. And why it is so hard to break free from these bandages.
These DVD’s really help me with my self condemnation. Once I understood what was going on in my brain, I understood that my failures didn’t happen because I didn’t love GOD enough.
Dr. Ted Roberts, Tiana Wiles, and Jeremy Wiles( Son of Rick Wiles of Trunews) wrote, produced and directed this series. I would be happy to purchase a copy of this series for you and your ministry.
Thank you for all the information/ training that you provide. May Our FATHER, through Our King YESHUA(JESUS), richly Bless you.
Shawn, thanks so much for sharing those resources. I listen to Rick Wiles two or three times a week.
Forgot to ask! How far along-and when-is book 3 of the Noah series coming out?
It should be out this fall.
I’d like to preface my comments by saying I am always open to new ideas and will listen to all feedback presented in an open way. I just finished reading both Noah novels that you have thus far published, Mark. As a retired editor, I can say that while there are some grammatical and word choice errors (example: break when you meant brake, i.e. to stop) these books have good crisp dialog and structure. Many of the ideas that you expound on are intensely interesting.
Many years ago, I was associated with a born again Christian church (brother Bob Tilton’s Word of Faith church) and was badly burned by him and some of his ilk. Brother Bob was in it for the money and was a charletan. Enough said. Although I was saved, I’ve always had problems with taking the bible literally at face value. Why? Because the bible was written by humans and humans can and do get things wrong, they have ulterior motives, and are a host of other things as well. Further, if one goes all the way back to the story of Adam and Eve, that literally takes us back to the dawn of mankind, absolutely thousands of years before anyone ever invented even the most rudimentary form of writing/recording events, even in pictorial form. I can scarcely believe that word-of-mouth for untold generations kept this bit of history going. I am not an atheist. I believe in God. One just has to look around, or simply look at the sky on a cloudless night to know that a higher intelligence created the universe. But I do feel that religions, organized ones, are a human invention and that most wars ever fought were over “my religion is better than yours, and if you don’t believe like I do, I’m going to kill you.” I think that’s a really stupid way to look at things, but that’s what Islamic terrorists are doing right now.
On the other hand, the premise of your Noah books, a dystopian society, seems to be coming to pass and your ideas are well-taken. Prepping for the possibility of these events happening is a good idea. However, in your books, so far everyone seems to have electrcity except in New York. The dollar is worthless. Who is maintaining the grid, and how is anyone paying for the electricity? I’m shocked that the Internet is still up as well as the phone system(s). But I digress. I am not currently prepping. I am 65, in need of extensive medications including insulin, so I don’t see the point for me. But for younger, healthy Americans, I’m all for it. I just have philosophical differences re: religion in general. I hope you don’t take my comments in the wrong way. You’ve written some good books with a LOT of food for thought in them.
Sincerely,
Elbridge Price
Elbridge,
I’m glad your enjoying the books. As for the Bible maintaining its integrity through time, if God can create the vast universe, as you’ve just admitted, influencing a handful of writers seems a pretty small task for such a God, wouldn’t you agree? 😉
I’m sorry you had a bad experience with someone calling themselves a Christian. If you’d gotten a hold of one of the first copies of my first book, you’d see that I ran into some folks calling themselves professional editors also. Thankfully, I’ve found some people who live up to the title much more these days. But in the end, we know them both, (editors and Christians)by their fruit.
I just finished reading American Exit Strategy and for the most part, LOVED IT! There was so much information that although seemed a bit much at time, made so much sense as you read further! I will say this, you can tell you haven’t been around inner-city people much lol. I did slightly take offense to the repetitive negative rhetoric that were thrown at people on government assistance. I myself was on assistance at one point, WHILE WORKING FULL-TIME, as well as every other person I knew around me, yet still qualified for assistance. Most people just want jobs that make enough enough money to be done with it, as most people I know who do receive it HATE IT. No I don’t argue with you that their are quite a few people who are lazy and feel as though they should be taken care of, and they need to be the ones kicked off the system. However, I do understand that the system itself is bankrupting our country, and a time for different avenues have approached us. As a current resident of Detroit, as mentioned in the book, I fully see the scenario you played out in the book as a possibility in the future when the collapse is upon us.
Additionally, I did not like the fact that religion was so thrown into the Libertarian ideology in itself. It’s almost as if it was being implied that you cannot TRULY be advocating for Liberty unless you are a Christian, and will not be welcomed into communities unless you are from a religious background. I find it highly alarming that one would be rejected due to their disbelief in the institution of religion itself, when we as Libertarians are the ones who are fighting for the constitutional rights of the American people. Just because you were not raised in a church filled home does not mean you lack a moral compass. I was raised in a spiritual home, completely absent from the institutionalized area of the church, yet still taught to love, respect, and honor my fellow human beings. I volunteer 3-5 times a week, and couldn’t even see it in my spirit to harm someone else unless my life or my family’s life depended on it. I hope that in the years to come we can all learn to unify despite our differences because when things REALLY hits the fan, we need all the Patriots of this country together as possible to win this war. Blessings to you and can’t wait to read the other books!
Thanks so much for reading. I’m glad you liked it. . . for the most part. 😉 My criticism of government assistance is primarily towards the government rather than those who have to have it. Welfare used to come from the church and was focused on getting people out of poverty rather than trapping them in it. The only reason you had to have help when working full time is because the Fed has devalued the currency you’re paid in to the extent that it’s nearly worthless.
Just finished the second book of Noah. Its was a terrific second part
Already waiting for the next book and praying for the safety and luck of Noah and all the other Patriots
Thanks so much!
When is the second book in the Days of Noah book coming out? We read The Days of Noah first and liked it so much that we ordered all three of the American Exit Strategy books and read them all in a couple of days. Thank you for all the help in preparing for the future from a Christian perspective.
Greg,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the books. Book 2 should be out sometime in March.
Mark,
I love your audiobooks! I went through America Exit Strategy series twice and just finished Days of Noah. Could you provide an outline or list of reference sources for the various “conspiracy” elements mentioned in this book? I’ve heard of many of them through programs on Radio Liberty and others but some that were mentioned are new to me. I love learning about the possible Biblical context of these “theories”. I realize that I can learn about it all from books, YouTube, podcasts and internet research, but it would sure make it easier wading through the mountains of info.
Thank you.
Greg, Thanks for reading and I’m glad you enjoyed the books. I don’t have a list, but the Video’s mentioned in Noah are great sources for 9/11. Go back and look through all of the Friday Night at The Movies post on Prepper Recon also. Just put Movie in the search box. I’ve played some good ones over the past year or so and will be posting some really goods one on the Massons and Rosecrucians in the near future.
Mark, I’m reading “American Reset” again, and on page 9 you mentioned a phone springing a GPS satellite. Just thought I’d point out that GPS devices are receive only (for GPS service). I’m not arguing that the government can’t track a cell phone, just not off of the GPS.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for reading!
Dear Mark,
I have been a long time listener and always love you interviews and your perspectives on the economy. I have a question for you, I currently live in Hawaii but want to move to a state where my liberties are ot being encroached on. I remember hearing you say you live in Florida. Well, my family was thinking of moving there, if my memory serves me right, you said the readout? Where is that and would you say that Florida is a good place to raise a Christian family? Are the gun laws good and are there areas where I can buy property away from the daily grind? I thank you for any information you can provide.
Thank you,
Jason Schick
Jason,
Thanks for writing. Florida is a purple state because it’s split between the Dems on the east coast and Republicans on the west coast. Could be better, could be worse. Fl has no state income tax which is attractive. I usually say “FL redoubt” a bit tongue in cheek because, while some areas are better than others, most of it would not be survivable in a long term disaster. The American redoubt is the inland pacific north west, Idaho and Montana, but that’s going to be a big change in weather from Hawaii. If you can sell it to the rest of the family and have a good work-from-home business, I would definitely recommend that area. To learn more about the American Redoubt, listen to Radio Free Redoubt.
Hope that helps!
Mark,
I have to take issue with the information put forward on your podcast with Dana Morrison in regards to the use of TOR. Dude, TOR is not secure, nor is it anonymous. Steve Gibson from GRC just did a very in-depth show on this. He is a trusted security expert and has been around for several decades.
Link here: http://twit.tv/show/security-now/493
You can listen to the whole podcast if you want the technical details, but the crux of the matter is that it is not possible for an unsophisticated user to do anything anonymously online. Your guest Dana Morrison is giving your listeners a false sense of security by suggesting they use TOR to anonymize their online activities. I’m not saying he did this deliberately, but in the best case scenario he is poorly informed on the subject, and I would take his advice with… a lot of salt.
The short of the matter is this: by using traffic analysis, an entity with the resources of a nation state can EASILY de-anonymize any TOR traffic. Furthermore, this makes the use of the TailsOS as recommended by Mr. Morrison a moot point – because the MAC address of your network card remains the same with or without the use of TailsOS. The MAC address is a unique identifier that every network device has, and even though you are running a different operating system, you are still connected via the same network card to the internet, with the same MAC address. It would be trivial for any computer savvy person to connect the activities to the same computer. It is possible to spoof your MAC address, but it is not something a layman can do easily.
I think you have a duty to inform your listeners that the use of TOR and TailsOS for that matter does a whole bunch of nothing for their security and their anonymity.
Regards,
Grey Mann
PS
I Enjoy both your books and your podcast. Good work.
Mark
I have read all of your books and have enjoyed them very much.When is book 2 of the Noah series being released?
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Book two should be out in March.
Just finished the Noah/Conspiracy book and just waiting for the next part. Good job.
Sent for the Noah book today. I read the first chapter in Kindle and it was excellent.
I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well.
I need to stop buying your books. It is seriously hindering my productivity. You have truly gone from good to what I believe to be, a great writer. Thank you for the insight and entertainment. Keep up the good work.
May the Lord continue to bless us all.
Jack
Thanks Jack!
I have to agree Jack…Lol. Mark, your books are spot on. Just finished Noah book one and ordered book two. I have been reading a lot of doomsday scenarios lately but I love the way you incorporate biblical prophecies and references into the story. I told my husband just last week that I have had this “nesting” feeling lately, much like the nesting women go through while pregnant. But instead of cleaning like a madlady, I have felt the urgent need to stockpile food and other supplies. My next project is establishing a healthy chicken flock by September. Thankfully my husband is on board with my “craziness”. Thanks so much for your great books. God has truly blessed you with a gift.
Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for reading!
Mark,
I read your first 3 books with great interest but this last book was the best. I highlighted several parts and started doing research into some of the information listed in the book. You helped me to understand the spiritual motivation of the Luciferian groups like the illuminati, the masons, and new world order. I have never understood their view of the fall of Adam as the accent of man instead of fall. It’s like they are trying to rebuild the Tower of Babel, see the UN parliament building in France. The new world order that nimrod tried and failed, they will fail again. Anyway I can’t till the next book comes out.
On one of your post said that you were welcoming ideas and comments about your books. One thing you may want to address is relationships between Preppers and friends and family who refuse to pull their head out of the sand and think we are conspiracy nuts. What happens when things collapse and family members like siblings and fathers who have ridiculed us as paranoid conspiracy theory nuts, now come asking for us to bail them out. It’s going to get complicated.
Great feed back. Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the series. I like the analogy of the UN building and the tower of Babel.
Where are you getting your info on 33rd degree Masons?
I am a 3rd degree master Mason and the different degrees spread horizontally not vertically. So because you might say your a higher degree it doesn’t mean you are more aware of worldly things. However each degree has different rituals and I don’t want to offend Jesus. So I want to know more about this . Great books that you write though
Dennis, I’m glad you’re enjoying the books. InfoWars and Mark Dice cover information regarding Masons. For the books, I have to use some level of speculation, because of the limited information available due to the secret nature of Free Masonry. While some of the specifics in the books are fictional, the overall truth of John 3:20 is clear. “Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”
Also, “occult”, is derived from the latin “ocultare” hidden or secret and very much describes the function of all secret societies. Hope that helps. God bless.
Mark, just listened to your recent episode and you mentioned the pre-trib rapture. Brother I USE to be a staunch believer in pre-trib but when I did some in depth study and read and prayed God opened my eyes to the fact that it will be a post-trib, pre-wrath rapture (which some refer to as a mid-trib but it’s not mid). I highly recommend you watch “After the Tribulation” on youtube. It’s about an hour and a half long but it’s awful hard to refute. Believe me, I tried. I’ve been saved for a long time, have memorized a lot of my KJV bible, have preached, been a deacon, etc… Mr Anderson, though he has his issues opened my eyes to see what the Bible plainly says about the rapture. I hope and pray you’ll investigate this further.
Chris – The Trailer Park Prepper.
Thanks Chris, I’ll definitely check out the YouTube video. I’ve found several verses that seem to support what is commonly called mid-trib as well as pre-trib. I cover all those verses in The Days of Noah, Book One: Conspiracy. God bless!
Regardless of the pre/mid/post debate, Steven L. Anderson is a kook and I’d take anything he says with not just a grain of salt, but a 50 lb. bag. His actions and reputation do more to harm the fundamental Christian cause than any outsider could do.
Does anyone know if a .308 rifle would be good for any long range recon and shooting?
.308 is a great long range round.
Just watched United Statesmof Secrets.
I believe the whole documentary is used to blind I’d from the real truth.
I will go even further by stating that Edward Snowden, is a part of this mirage, to get Citizens on a rabbit trail to eat a few tidbits, when the. Real truth is hidden. I believe 9/11 was an Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld plan and this talk of terrorist is nonsense. If we were so upset with terrorist, why Iraq and why not Saudi Arabia? 9/11 was committed by our own government. Any plane parts at the pentagon? Any plane parts in Pa? And seats, engines, baggage, wings? In either place? Well? I won’t even discuss building implosion, verses building collapse. The documentary may contain sincere people who are deluded.
Good observations. Thanks Mitch.
Mr Mark. Finished Noah just now. Left you 5 stars for a 10 star book on Amazon. You must keep writing. I have read the reset series, just awesome, and Noah brought tears to my eyes more than once. Please continue it. I cannot wait. Now what do I read. Decisions… Ugh.. I am a combat Marine retired and by God’s Grace a born again Christian as is my family now. Verses are awesome and posted on my FB page. Also, read your excellent survival book co authored. Like reading a Marine Corps Manual. God Bless. Ps. Please enter me in Noah contest. Wish. I was young like you guys. I can guard the gate, and still hit the wings off of a fly. Can’t wait.
Thank you for your service and thanks so much for the encouraging words! I’m glad you enjoyed the book. God bless!
Hey Black. You are a loser with your head in the sand. And if you are not saved you are more lost than you can imagine.
😉
Hey Mark,
I just received my copy of American Rest the day before yesterday and I’m already on chapter 27. I couldn’t stand waiting to find out about Matt! LOL Great series brother. I’m glad you delved into more of the individual stories with this last one. All 3 have been very riveting. Thanks!
on your oct 21 and following podcast you have been running promos at the beginning and end of the shows, rationalizing terrorism on the homeland. that view is bull shit and you need to knock it off. we now see that jimmycarter,obozo and you rabid paulbots are the islamic radicals greatest ally. all of you consistently legitimize and now defend those tactics. i expected better of you.
Even though military spending to put our nose in other peoples business has done as much to bankrupt this country as welfare spending, I tend to be more tolerant of neo-cons that haven’t woken up yet than libtards. What I don’t tolerate is someone coming on MY site using profanity which is not welcome here and telling me how to run MY show. There are plenty of shows like The O’Riely Factor that cater to your ilk, blackdawg. The Prepper Recon Podcast is NOT one of them!
Hey Mark – I’m a former Army intelligence NCO, Patriot, and prepper. I’d like to talk to you about incorporating intelligence gathering into prepping. Please email me so we can discuss. – AOF, Sam
Hi. I realy like yer podcasts and have even learned some too.
But Im qurious. You cover religion heavy in yer shows. Do you think a person has to be religious (what ever typ) to be into or a good prepper. Would a non religious person or family would not be welcome.
Joe,
I believe in personal freedom and think God has given us all the free will to chose whether we want to believe in him or not. However, the Bible is very clear about what happens to a person after death based on what they decided to believe. I think a non-spiritual person can be a good prepper in most areas but I think spiritual preparedness is the most important aspect of preparedness. There is a good chance we could have a economic collapse, people regularly have to endure natural disasters, but death is something each and everyone of us will have to face at some point. I don’t think I would be doing my job if I didn’t encourage folks to get prepared for an event that is so certain. Do you?
Mark,
Can you explain in general terms how loss of reserve status for the US dollar results in a devaluation of the dollar?
Thank You
Russel,
Great question. I’ll try to go into more detail in an upcoming reader mail bag edition of the show, but the short answer is, once the dollar looses reserve status, demand for the dollar will drop. Once demand declines, there will be a lot more dollars chasing a lot less goods and services since those goods and services will be settling in other currencies. This will result in the dollar having less purchasing power or being devalued.
Yep, I follow that. I would like to discuss this more, but am not sure if this is the right forum.
I am a small town banker and a finance professional by education and experience, and at the risk of sounding ignorant, I don’t see the cause and effect link between the “reserve currency” angle and dollar devaluation. There are too many mechanisms to reduce the money supply if needed to account for the extra dollars in the system if other countries cease holding it as a reserve currency.
If you are too busy to address this on the blog, I hope you can address the subject at that level of detail on one of your podcasts.
Enjoy your podcasts and your perspective on our countries issues.
Thanks,
Russell
Russell,
Yes there are mechanisms like raising interest rates to reduce the money supply, but John Williams at Shadow state estimates that there are nearly $16 trillion in USD being held outside of the US. How high would you have to raise interest rates to suck up that much money? It would absolutely collapse the economy. What other tools do you know of that could be used to reduce the money supply? I’ll make sure I bring up the question next time I have a guest on that’s well versed in money supply.
Thanks for the great comments and questions.
Interest rates would be ineffective against that much coming back over a short period. So that opens the debate as to when and how the money comes back. And the FED is not in control of that.
To compound the issue, we also have to figure out how to extricate from QE. Those trillons are sitting on deposit at the FED and the FED has to figure out how to keep the banks from putting that money into circulation.
At best, in my opinion, this is all going to take many, many years to sort out. In the mean time it keeps the US, and the world on the edge of collapse and if anything at all goes wrong, we will get pushed over the edge.
So if one trusts our FED, working with every other FED in the world to execute an extremely complex monetary plan, that has never been tried before, over a period of time that could involve decades, then there is nothing to worry about. (-; !
Thanks for the work you and others are doing.

Great overview of the situation, Russel. Thanks for the informative comments.
I just ordered a Molly first aid kit. I did not see a comment section to write “secrets of the survivalist” to get an autographed book. I paid by CC.
Awesome. Your kit and book are in the mail. Thanks so much!
Been listening to your podcast for a few months now…are you taking new advertisers?
Han Solo’s blaster was an old Broomhandle Mauser (Winston Churchill’s favorite pistol) with an original 70’s era Aimpoint sight and a chrome plated M-1 Carbine flash hider.
Very cool! I’ll let Sticks know. Thanks for the tip.
Mr. Goodwin,
I really enjoyed reading your first book and just began the second book. There is a lot of good information that I am finding of great use and am writing down. My main question is the purchase of silver and gold coins. I know these are just novels, however, I’ve read much about the importance of actually purchasing the coins “now” before it’s to late. I have been researching silver coins in bags (pre-1965) and need your guidance. Is there really a need to buy these coins? Is our economy actually going to crash? I’ve talked to my financial advisor and he thinks I’m crazy to waste money on actual coins. He’s telling me to invest in precious medal stocks. No matter what he say’s I’m still considering buying silver coins; I just don’t know how much to purchase and where??? Hope you can help. Thank you!
I’m so glad you are enjoying the book series! *Disclaimer* I’m not a financial adviser, so I can only speak to what I feel is right for me. I’m not totally opposed to metals etfs as a speculative investment, however, for me, this would only be after I have my core position in physical metals. If the markets do completely meltdown like they do in the books, paper assets will be totally worthless. Yes, I think we are in for some very difficult times. That’s why I stock up on rice, beans, coffee and other staples. Silver and gold have always been money. I like a nice fifty/fifty split between the two and have 10% of my liquid assets as a target. I also prefer to keep the denominations small in case I need them for a barter situation. I’ve covered this extensively in the Prepper Recon Podcast. Check out the show archives, specifically my interviews with David Morgan, John Rubino, Kirk Elliot, Andy Hoffman, David Quintierri and Fabian Calvo.
Hey Mark,
I just wanted to say I am a huge fan of your books. I heard you on a recent episode of the Armed Squirrel Project and ended up being so interested in the books I listened to them both on tape before finishing that episode of the podcast. I recently got into prepping after a Natural Disaster hit here a year ago and I saw what my National Guard Unit was mobilized to help control. Seeing what I did then gave goosebumps to me at certain points in your books. They are extremely well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait for number three. My mind is still racing with ideas of what will happen next! I just started listening to your podcast and am definitely a new fan there as well. The only improvement I would like to see is your mic output bumped up a bit. Your voice does get a bit soft.
Thank you for such great content,
Jeremy
Jeremy,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the book series. I’ve had a lot of similar comments about the sound quality. I started out with just a head set mic and free recording program on the computer. I just purchased a soundboard, professional mic and recorder. I know there is going to be a learning curve as with everything else, but I hope the sound will be getting better. Keep the comments coming over the next few weeks and let me know how things are sounding. God bless and happy prepping!
I don’t know why the US government is doing what it’s doing in the Ukraine but Scott Rohter is NOT thinking clearly about this issue. To his credit, he may be right that America may be causing trouble in the region to help it’s LNG exports but his rants in support of Russia make no sense. If Arabic speaking Russians demanded help from Iran would he support Iran sending troops to Chechnya to push out the Russian forces there so they can have a referendum on independence? I don’t think so!
In regards to the loving Russians not cutting off the supply of NG I would say two things. First, they don’t allow receiving countries to measure how much NG they are getting. The Russians just tell them how much they owe them and you are supposed to trust them. Second, if they cut off the Ukraine they would also be cutting off the Crimea and any other countries that get NG thru the Ukraine so I’m reluctant to call the Russians angels and highly moral for not cutting off their own noses.
Good points. Thanks for your thoughts.
I really enjoy your show. The last couple episodes it has been really hard to hear you. Your guests come in great but at times I can barely hear you. Not sure if there is something you can do to improve that or not but it would really help this old guy’s ears. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks for the feed back. I am hoping to be able to upgrade the studio this summer!
Hello Mark
I am currently a Christian LEO, previously a Combat Medic. I have read many prepper novels. Besides JW Rawles’ Book Series and Crawford’s Lights Out, it is really hard to find good clean prepping novel that you can learn from- I now have both of your novels – in both real books and in audio books… You and I have many of the same ideas-
Keep writing Brother- God Bless
Jeremiah, Thanks for taking time to write those words of encouragement. I’m glad you’re enjoying the books. God bless and thank you for your service!
When will American Reset be available
This summer!
So just after June 21st at 6:51am?
Or sometime before September 22nd at 10:29pm?
🙂
Will there be an Audible version?
Jason, Yes the audible version should be out this week. The production finished last week and I’m just waiting for final approval from Audible.
Does anyone know if a high quality gun safe would serve as an acceptable faraday cage? It seals completely when closed. Thanks for the info.
Seems like it would help. The seal is usually rubber though, so it’s not a complete metal on metal seal.
When will American Reset be out?
This summer!
Mark,
I wonder if I could get a discount on your books in bulk. I am a retired pastor and have MANY people I would like to give copies to. Thanks in advance for answering.
Amazon does their own pricing. It would be tough for me to even match their price by the time I shipped books to readers. If you get over $35 worth of stuff, the books ship free from Amazon, and they have different sale prices all the time. You just have to check the price every day. God bless and happy prepping!
New to your site and new to prepping. Just read book 1, loved it! On some of your podcasts you have mentioned getting “your” money out of the banking system. Yes I am investing in silver. Might be a stupid question but how do I keep my silver and cash safe? Is there a podcast or book you could point me to? Thanks!
Good question. A gun safe, bolted to your floor is a very good place to keep your valuables. Another good place is hidden in a place where no one knows about it. There is a term called “midnight gardening” which is burying your stash in your yard at night when no one would be watching. If you do that, make sure you camo the area that you dug up so it doesn’t look like some one just buried their treasure there. 😉
Mark, I can’t thank you enough for your books. I know a lot of very hard work went into them. I just finished reading both of them back to back. I loved the fact that they are Christian and Constitutionally based. The stories are well intertwined and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I gave them both 5 stars on Amazon and will be sharing them with lots of people. I’m very Anxious for Book 3. If you need a proof reader. let me know.
Thanks immensely, Paul.
Paul, thanks so much for the kind words. The Amazon reviews are so vital to getting the books noticed. Thank you very much for that as well.
I just finished reading American Exit Strategy for the second time.
I was wondering when Vol 2, American Meltdown will be out?
Thank you.
I am hoping for the first of February. I am so glad you like book one! Thanks
Hello! I came here from the reference in your great book. I really enjoyed it and will start to dive into the rest of the info on your website next. Just one thing – in a couple entries under your ‘Book Review’ section I could not find the links to Amazon for your reseller credit. Thanks again for sharing your faith and knowledge – Peace Be With You!!
I am subscribed to this guy and he is putting out daily news in two minutes as it relates to preppers and survival.
I have found it very useful and it saves me a lot of time while searching around the web for news so I thought some other preppers could use it too.
heres a link

it changes daily so you’ll have to get a new one for tomorrow.
hope it helps you and the readers out too.
god bless

I was truly happy to find this Christian prepping site. So thankful the Lord is moving on others to step out in faith and be obedient to spread the word about Christ’s second coming and the need to prep.
It is this same Holy Spirit that inspired the writing of “Discovery to Catastrophe,” a great work of fiction with scripture interwoven to substantiate the fact of Christ’s second coming, the need to prep, survivalism, and similar truths. The second half of the book is pretty much a ‘how to’ manual on prepping and survival.
I strongly encourage all Christians interested in the second coming, the apocalypse, prepping, survival, and Alaska (where the story occurs), to get a copy and read the book. It is available at Amazon and other internet book sellers.
Blessings on each of us as we prepare – Prov 22:3, etc.
interested in a image add, how much do you charge.
Dear friends, I would like to ask a favor of you. If you could would you help spread my new Nat Geo prepper theme song “The Joke’s on Me” prepper song, artist Big Al Bunker, songcastmusic.com. I am the Big Al featured on the new season 2 premier. We need to grow our movement. It is an Idea whose time has come. You can reach me at alsostrin@gmail.com Many thanks. Keep on prepping Big Al
Dear Sir/Madam, my name is Bryan Foster (aka Zion Prepper) and the author of two books: The Prepper’s Handbook and The Christian Prepper’s Handbook.
I’ve been following your website for some time now. Fasinating to say the least.
If you’re open to the idea I would like to send you a copy of The Christian Prepper’s Handbook for your review. Keep in mind it’s a handbook and not a ‘how to book’. It provides the theory and outline of proper planning.
Should you be interested please e-mail me at zionprepper@gmail.com with the address where you would like it sent.
Thx
Bryan
I noticed your site from a comment you left on one of our posts. I’ve added your site to our blog roll and Survival Blogs List.
