The Remnant
How far would you go to stand up for your religious beliefs? What would you do if all your belief systems and documents were declared illegal? In The Remnant, this subject was explored.
What if there were an Apocalypse and Jesus didn’t return? What if the survivors found themselves living in a world ruled by a totalitarian government, where religion is forbidden and all religious texts have been destroyed?
Honestly, this isn't something that I really want to even think about. I've always jokingly said I wanted to be on the first bus out when Jesus returns.
In the year 2069 the Apocalypse came and went, but Jesus didn’t show up, as some expected. Instead, a cataclysmic war, natural disasters and pandemics eradicated 90 percent of earth’s population.
Now, in 2131, a totalitarian government rules the world from the majestic, opulent capitol of Carthage, Tunisia. Blamed for igniting the war, religion and religious books are banned. Citizens who will not renounce their religion are sent to work camps.
Grant Cochrin, imprisoned in a bleak petroleum camp in what was once North Dakota, leads his family and friends to escape and embark on a long, dangerous quest for a Christian community. Their resource in this journey? A cherished page torn from the now banished Bible—a remnant of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount handed down from Grant’s grandparents.

For me, this book was upsetting – not in a negative way, but in a way that made me really want to dig into the Scriptures and make sure that I was prepared to back up my beliefs.
I have been spending more time in memory work and study since ready this book. So even if I don't agree with the story line, my faith is stronger and my knowledge is deeper because of it.
Plain Truth Ministries released this book in 2016. For more information or to purchase The Remnant, it is available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle versions.
Don't have a Kindle? Grab one for yourself. They are so nice to use for reading. I love my Kindle Fire and my little one uses the e-Reader version (just for reading without the added games and internet options).
