*The Last Church in America* might refer to the First Elderian Church of Pugh: geographically located on the edge of a Midwest dimple in an otherwise deserted town, whose zany resident-worshippers occupy themselves with shrinking supplies (especially of peas and pearl onions), shoot at strangers who offer them food, or throw themselves into an upheaval over the curse of Jeconiah. OR...*The Last Church in America* might refer to the peculiar strangers who live across the valley from Pugh, a community referred to by themselves as "the Fellowship" and by others as the "foothill fanatics," heathens of the worse kind. OR...*The Last Church in America* might refer to the Church of Cosmic Control, those living in the valley, whose focus is an ancient totem pole and who always agree that any stumbling blocks must be thrown onto the trash heap of religious history. Is it the dawn of a new day, or is the Age of Aquarius further away than they think? The Last Church in America weaves a hair-trigger tale of bizarre events, offering up sacred cows of disorganized religion on a fiery altar of outrageous satire.

Early in the first century a Jewish fisherman from the Kinneret had a life-shaking encounter with Yeshua, called the Nazarene. Soon after the Messiah had directed him to seek and catch men in another kind of net, his new found joy was often threatened by old traditions and unexpected challenges. Today the world knows this brash disciple as Peter, or Simon Peter - yet the Lord called him Cephas. The one who had denied Him now proclaimed Him - to every listening ear in Israel. As the prophets had foretold, the Messiah had come to His people, the seed of Abraham, to offer forgiveness and eternal life. Yet through divine intervention and astonishing instructions, Cephas would venture out into another world - a frightening and unfamiliar world - to bring his message to. . .to. . . He shuddered to think about it.

The Tanners are a respectable and highly successful English family caught up in a spreading web of global deception and catastrophe. They struggle to survive in the midst of a surreal nightmare while being torn between the voice of an ancient conscience and the proclamations of a world gone mad. Truth and fiction form a lethal brew as Prince of the Covenant rapidly lifts the veil to the unholy. From London to Brussels, New York to Jerusalem, most subjects are loyal to one Prince of the Covenant, a man from nowhere who is suddenly everywhere, a master of deceit, destruction and unending terror. He inescapably battles a Prince whose own covenant dramatically proves to be immovable and eternal. This is, simply, a diary for tomorrow written today.

Glory at Bay Coast High is a quickly paced, riveting tale of how the glory of God suddenly invades a Southern California high school which is undergoing a shocking, Columbine-type attack. Senior Johnny Chazon and his girlfriend Ellie Erickson are not only confronted with classmates turned terrorists, but with a life and death urgency to learn the lessons they're being taught by their heavenly visitor. They experience first hand how God delivered others in the past, but are terrified and bewildered as to whether or not He'll miraculously save the lives of their friends in this darkest hour.
