Prelude People
This the epoch story of people trying to keep their lives together while their world around them falls apart.
Geologists confirm there are three colossal natural disasters that are inevitable.
1. The fractured western wall of Cambre Vueja volcano in the Canary Islands will break away, creating a 300 foot megatsunami traveling at the speed of a jet airliner that will reach America in approximately eight hours.
2. Yellowstone National Park will once more erupt, covering much of the central part of America with ash.
3. An earthquake will cause the San Andreas fault to slide into the Pacific Ocean.
These three events are presented as transpiring in relatively close proximity. Research of these potential events enables them to be graphically depicted in an absorbing manner. These destructive forces of nature are presented as a mega disaster.
The unfolding of these dramatic events creates broad debate and heated argument regarding spiritual issues among colorful characters. Some topics addressed and given apologetic and Bible answers are:

Why didn’t He create a perfect world?
Why does He allow suffering and natural disasters?
How can the Trinity be explained?
What is Moral or Universal Law?
What is the perspective of death and the afterlife among diverse groups?
How do these events relate to end times?
Could these events be a prelude to the second coming of Jesus Christ?

This work creatively weaves the answers into a gripping novel, making them applicable to everyday life. It is in effect applied apologetics that emotionally engage the reader in human drama and pathos.
Servants Not Celebrities
The Only ones among us who will really be happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve,” said Nobel Prize laureate, Albert Schweitzer.
Self-esteem, happiness as an end in itself, recognition, notoriety, and prosperity theology are themes that sell today. Motivated by such themes, persons have turned inward rather than turning loose, and as a result have become stagnant rather than flowing with life.
Francis of Assisi’s quote resonates with happiness, “It is in giving that we receive.” For a meaningful life try giving yourself away by serving others. Persons desiring such a fulfilling life will find “Servants Not Celebrities” stimulating as well as enjoyable. This book is full of examples and exhortations inspiring excellence. It is motivation full of meaning.
The Greek physician Hippocrates described four basic temperament types. For a truly happy life add a fifth: a servant temperament.

sense of well-being because Emmanuel is indeed with you.
The reader will better understand and be empowered by living in light of Christ’s promise:
“I will never leave you, nor forsake you, I will be with you always.”
That is a forever “never” with no exception ever.
Practicing the presence behind the promise gives zest, joy, and power to life.
