Books About the Rapture
Books about the rapture can give us hope in these uncertain times that we are living in. This website is about Oklahoma history, but I wanted to share with you novels that I have written about the end times.
History is important because it helps us to understand the present and also, perhaps, perceive what the future may hold. I don't know about you, but I often dread what I see happening in the world today. It seems like there is a constant threat of a third world war. I'm not sure the people who are running the world have the level heads needed to maintain global peace.
But over the years, I have come to realize that God will protect and provide for His children, no matter what happens.
We Want to Learn the Past, But What About the Future?
I have been a Christian for more than thirty years, and the longer I walk with Christ, the more I am convinced that we who trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation will soon be taken off the earth in an even known as the Rapture. I hope you are a believer as well. If so, then I look forward to spending an eternity getting to know you as we enjoy fellowship with one another and worship our Savior.
But many will be left behind and must endure what is known as the Great Tribulation. A few years back, I felt led to write a series of novels describing what life might be like for those having to endure such difficult times. Many people won't want to believe that the Rapture has occurred, and they will try to explain it away. It's easy to see that some will blame it on a global alien abduction.
The Great Deception Series is based on the premise that demons will pretend to be aliens. Satan, the great deceiver, will make a show of arriving on Earth, looking like Legolas from Lord of the Rings and having the wisdom of Mr. Spock from Star Trek. He will fool many into believeing he can save the world.
The Great Deception Series Are Books About the Rapture
The Great Deception Series include four books that cover what happens after the Rapture. They include Abducted, Abductions, Insurrections, and Dispossessions.
The first in my books about the Rapture is Abducted.
Abducted: Book One in the Great Deception Series
Guilt and ghosts plague Calista Evans, the result of a desperate act she committed as a teenager. Eluding the law, she accepts a position in an underground bunker, growing food for the elite hiding far beneath the earth's surface to avoid a coming global catastrophe. Calista meets handsome John Becker at her new position, who claims to love her. But he doesn't know her past.
Then, a coworker loses all traces of humanity overnight. He's now more robot than human thanks to a brain chip implant. To their horror, Calista and John realize the elite, with the help of mysterious aliens, plan to chip all workers the same way.
By chance, Calista discovers a possible escape from the bunker. But can she and John get free in time before they lose their humanity and free will forever?
Abductions: Book Two in the Great Deception Series
Millions have vanished...
And the aliens are taking credit, claiming these "disruptive" persons were removed for re-education and the betterment of planet Earth. Lydia St. James has her doubts. She can't help remembering her grandmother's warnings about the Rapture, and a terrifying event known as the Great Tribulation.
Lydia's husband, Alexander, insists she and their daughter, Cass, move to an underground bunker where they can hide and escape the unrest topside. Then Cass vanishes.
Lydia must travel deep beneath the bunker into an alien world to find her daughter. Will she be able to save her family from the horrors of an "alien" abduction? And will they learn the truth before it's too late?
Abductions is the second book in the Great Deception Series that explores the question: How will humanity explain away the Rapture predicted in the Bible?
For months, Phil Banowski scoured the bowels of the earth, desperate to free his daughter, Markey, from alien clutches. The group he's with--the Earth Resistance Movement--promised to aid his small band of fighters. So far, they've kept Phil and his companions in a vise stronger than the moldy dungeon trapping Markey.
By chance, Phil stumbles upon a collider that transports him back into the alien's realm. Angelo, a friend from the past, appears and promises to help Phil. But what if Angelo learns about Phil's past? Could this new friend become a greater threat than the very aliens they are trying to fight?
And what about Mycroft Klant, the mysterious associate who arrives on the scene after Phil slips into the other realm? Is Klant there to help the small group of resistors as he claims? Or will he further enslave them?
Alexander St. James just made the biggest mistake of his life. He moved his wife, Lydia, and their daughter, Cass, into a deluxe underground bunker to ride out the chaos topside. Too late, Alexander realizes he made a pact with the devil.
Fortunately, John Becker helps Alexander and his family escape the dark tunnels where demons posing as aliens lurk. But with the Great Tribulation looming, the earth's topside has become a fiery hell. John convinces Alexander and his family to relocate to his family's farm to help grow food so they can all survive. With their home gone and no work prospects, Alexander and Lydia agree.
But the farm isn't the haven John described, and the people left behind after the Rapture harbor dark secrets...
