Fame and Fortune Tellers: A Young Man’s Meteoritic Rise to Stardom by Todd Netland is a fantastic fictional read about a talented young keyboardist, Randy Miller, beginning in the year 1973. After receiving an incredibly accurate telling and prophecy from a pudgy old man, Randy’s life was about to change. Married to Lila, their ride home from Harvey’s Hotel Resort was just the beginning of this mysterious prophecy coming to pass. A thought-provoking read, Randy discovers that being a rock star does not bring the fulfillment he was hoping for. This novel reads like a movie in the making and reminds one that life is a journey. Themed with Jesus Christ’s salvation, this novel dares to show readers that this Earth is passing, and that Eternity is waiting for them and that it is up to them to choose salvation in Jesus Christ.
Fast-paced, real life scenarios draws readers into the lifespan of many different characters that experience trauma, loss, heartache, along with life’s triumphs, all leading into a grand tapestry of life that readers will appreciate. Randy’s journey draws you in, and we are able to follow his life from his 30’s during the 70’s, into his late 60’s. Quickly Randy begins living out this prophecy and ascends to success on the Pop culture scene. An aspiring musician, Randy plays the keyboard and guitar. Along the way, his family and friends, lives intertwine, revealing that we all have choices and we all have free will. With suspense, Randy’s journey unfolds, coupled with endearing romance, humor, danger and intrigue that collide with several sub-plots.
Within this, the author reveals the reality of what is on the other side of death (and behind this so-called “prophecy”), Randy comes to an understanding of light vs. darkness, discovering that Satan is real and so is Jesus. The book conveys through the series of Randy and other characters's life that we all have freedom to make our own life choices, but sheds light on the importance on making the right choices in regards to salvation. Offering what we do in the present has an impact on our eternity, this book unveils that worldliness does not compare to the glory that is offered from setting one’s hopes on God, Heaven and Eternity.
