Produktbeschreibung

Society, as the Prescott family knows it, is about to change...in fact collapse. Garth Prescott has been given an assignment to help prepare the members of his church in his area for surviving the change. He has been trying to prepare his family for the time when the Prophet calls all the saints to gather for protection, but they aren't all on board with that plan. A few of the family follow the Prophet and go to the Zion Camp with other members of the church. A couple of them fight it out on their acreage where they've been stock piling supplies and weapons. Others choose to forfeit their freedom by joining the government's New World Center.

The ones who don't Follow the prophet and go Zion Camp, experience the consequences of their choices, and it isn't what they expect. There's disappointment, heart ache, and death involved. A group of them decide they must follow their heart and escape to find the secret location of the Zion Camp. It will mean developing faith and using it to be guided by the light of Christ.

They experience the literal protection Christ promises his saints as they encounter dangers, disasters, and as they are confronted by the invading military force that wants to eliminate Christians and control the country.

It is a journey dealing with loss, finding love, and developing faith.

Autorenporträt

I'm an average guy with a loving wife & combined family. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who has a love of the signs of the times and second coming. I am fascinated with where society is headed and it's fulfilment of prophecy. I felt inspired to write a story combining these subjects. I served a mission in Bristol England when I was 19. I've had many callings in the church and my favorites have been teaching early morning seminary and the Gospel Doctrine class. I've never been in a Bishopric (except as Executive Secretary twice) and haven't served in any Stake Leadership positions. I have a Business Management Degree and have started, and run, a couple of businesses. I love books and get to enjoy them the most by listening to them as I work and drive. I have never written a book before and felt intimidated thinking about it. I really felt impressed to write this story so I prayed for inspiration and felt the guidance of the Holy Ghost helping me to come up with the story line and in putting it into words. It was a work in progress that took me 9 yrs to complete. There wasn't much progress for stretches of time and then I'd feel the spirit prompting me to get at it again. This past year I have really felt the urging of the spirit to get it done so I'd get up early and spend 1-2 hrs a day until I finally finished the story. It was a good feeling to feel like I'd accomplished something so out of my comfort zone. How did I choose my topic? For years I've had a fascination with stories about the end of our civilization as we know it. I have listened to dozens of Apocalyptic type stories. About different ways our society could come to an end: EMP, financial collapse, terrorist attacks, diseases, etc. They cover how our society would react and every author has the same opinion - that it would only take a few days for stores to run out of food and then people would turn on each other trying to survive. Making for a dangerous situation to live in. The other topic I love is the Signs of the Times. Prophecies about the last days and visions latter day prophets have had regarding society in these last days. Also, along these lines there's been several books written by people who have had Near Death Experiences. I have taken a few ideas from what they saw in their visions regarding the last days as well. In 2020 when we started the Book of Mormon Come Follow Me study course, we were learning about Lehi gathering his family and leaving Jerusalem for safety. The people had become wicked, they sought his life, and God told him the city was going to be overthrown. I felt the spirit tell me very strongly that 'this is a type of things to come'. The Lord has followed this pattern several time throughout the scriptures where he has taken the righteous out of a wicked society. So, with this feeling I had, and research I've done, I felt it made sense that he'd follow this same pattern in these last days. I believe that before we gather and build the New Jerusalem, we'll gather locally as saints for protection. The Doctrine and Covenants says we will also protect anyone who isn't willing to take up arms against his neighbor. I put these ideas together and asked myself 'How will the members of my family react to the situation of the collapse of our society?' 'What choices would they make?'Would they FOLLOW the prophet's direction? Would they FIGHT on their own for their survival? or Would they FORFEIT THEIR FREEDOM and give in to the government's New World Order? DISCLAIMER:Even though the family in the book is structured on my family it isn't necessarily how I think each of the members would react. The character's actions and any behaviors portrayed in the book is just fiction. Learn more at www.gscott.ca
