Beschreibung
Creative Christian author, Melanie Schatzel, M.Ed, once an enlisted member of the military, takes readers on a foretelling adventure into the very near future of the final world wars of the earth as the coming of Jesus Christ nears. In this story, she shares of a single soldier, a young captain, alone, navigating a war-torn countryside praying and searching for his beloved brothers--also men of faith. He is a commander of only himself as he seeks to find surviving Christians who believe in God, have faith in God, and are living with a righteousness defined by God in the scriptures. His objective is to gather the righteous--a monumental task in a world raging in war. The story begins with a very honest, direct, and enlightening account of the world in which the gentle giant was born into as a means of defining how the setting became what it is--an earth torn by the ravishing of souls who catered to the devil himself by turning away from the teaching in the scriptures. In the telling of one day of his story, author Melanie Schatzel, portrays our world, our society, where the value of God's definition of male and female is confused; when nations are burdened by contention in politics; and greed, pride, and corruption dictate mankind. He is born into a time when faith is no longer strong, but the desires of men are, and those carnal desires dictate the acceptance of fatherless families, and disrespect of women and mothers; when children are confused about what is considered morally appropriate and values no longer depict respect for faith, family, or love for one's neighbor. A time when in the world hypocrisy is welcomed, and the needs of the good are ignored for the sake of the evildoers. The world is at war and the warring, as been foretold in the scriptures, will only come to an end when the beloved and Only Begotten Son of God comes again. And there are few left who believe in Him. The gentle giant soldier, a captain, demonstrates that his faith in God is what leads him and guides him. He finds a brother who observes as the captain prays, closes his eyes, and reaches out for the extended hand of one of God's messengers--to guide him through the dangerous terrain to the loved ones the Lord needs him to gather. And through what he observes, he comes to realize that following the Holy Spirit in faith is the only means to be successful on this quest of and for one, and the only way to survive until He comes again. A rich, powerful story!
