Some of the survivors had an idea of what was to come. They were Christians, followers of The Way. Scripture had warned of the end times and the signs were definitely there…the bad had become good, and the good, bad. The survivors were the good. The Neos were the bad...very, very bad. Things were only going to get worse. A lot worse. And then the followers would no longer be fighting just to survive; they would be fighting the worst enemy ever known to mankind. They were going to have to storm the gates of Hell. ​If you like apocalyptic end times survival fiction, you'll love The End Series...All books are Christian based.

The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming: And Other Lessons I Learned From Breast Cancer


Jennie Nash - 2001
    She learned, among other things, that her instincts are good, her kids are really resilient, and that, in the fight against breast cancer, the journey for patients, family, and friends can be a surprisingly positive, life-changing experience. Some five years younger than the AMA-recommended age for mammograms, Jennie Nash insisted she be tested, not because of a lump but because of a hunch brought on by a friend's battle with lung cancer. Jennie was as shocked to discover as her friend had been that cancer knows no age limits. From detection and surgery to reconstruction and recovery, Jennie gives readers a road map for a journey no one chooses to take. She details both the large and small lessons learned along the way: the importance of a child's birthday cake; the pleasure of wearing a beautiful, provocative red dress; how to be grateful rather than guilty when someone brings lasagne to the door; and that sometimes the only difference between getting to live and having to die is luck. A celebration of survival, Jennie Nash's account transforms one of life's most harrowing experiences into a story of reassurance and enlightenment.

What Shall We Say?: Evil, Suffering, and the Crisis of Faith


Thomas G. Long - 2011
    Is God all-powerful? Is God good? How can God allow so much innocent human suffering?These questions, taken together, have been called the "theodicy problem," and in this book Thomas Long explores what preachers can and should say in response. Long reviews the origins and history of the theodicy problem and engages the work of major thinkers who have posed solutions to it. Cautioning pastors not to ignore urgent theodicy-related questions arising from their parishioners, he offers biblically based approaches to preaching on theodicy, guided by Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares and the "greatest theodicy text in Scripture" -- the book of Job.
