The Final Confrontation In a world where governments have banned their gatherings, The Two Witnesses stand resilient against the rulers under Satan's influence. Multitudes flock to them for healing and freedom, while principalities and powers tremble and retaliate, capturing some of their allies and killing others.
The world is divided by the work of The Witnesses, yet they remain accessible and vulnerable human beings, deeply affected by the grief of losing friends and family.
For over three years, these miracle workers have been at center stage, tearing down strongholds in the heavens and on earth. Their influence continues to grow, filling power vacuums left by failing human governments. As their impact increases, they face enemies from higher and higher in the demonic order. What will it take to stop them?
As a small boy in Lincoln, Nebraska, I listened enrapt to my grandmother reading me children’s stories, such as The Little Engine That Could. I also recall the elementary school librarian who read us Winnie the Pooh, imitating all the voices. And I remember the first summer I was allowed to ride my bike to the library on my own.
Writing started for me in school. Teachers encouraged me to pursue what they perceived as a gift. For me, my imagination was a challenge as much as a gift. I found the real world so much less enthralling.
In my Christian high school, the English teacher supplied me with unassigned novels. I wrote the senior class play and served as editor of both the yearbook and the school newspaper.
At Houghton College, I majored in writing, including coursework in poetry and fiction. But I also majored in biblical studies and was persuaded to take my writing skills in a more “respectable” direction—academia and nonfiction writing. Remember that less enthralling real world?
When all my academic work led to no great employment breakthrough, I hopped from there onto that rapid conveyor known as the tech industry. Starting in the 1990s, I shaped a new career, eventually starting my own computer consulting firm.
During those years, I focused on raising two boys and cherished the role of doing the bedtime reading, including attempting all the voices in The Chronicles of Narnia series. I also composed a few stories from scratch for my attentive little audience, usually around a campfire.
I started writing again in 2006. Following a friend’s suggestion, I meditated on scripture by imaging myself present on a day when Jesus healed an entire multitude. That meditation turned into my first novel, And He Healed Them All. Closing the gap between the sparse descriptions in the Gospels and what must have been a rich miraculous experience enticed me.
A series of unusual events (ask me someday) prodded me to write my second novel, The Reign: Out of Tribulation. I began self-publishing with those first two books. My third novel, Seeing Jesus, expanded into a series when numerous readers begged me for more. As it turns out, that kind of begging is hard to resist.
In all, I have published fifteen books on Amazon, fourteen of them as installments in one of my series. I am constantly working to improve my skills and to better share my message with the reading public.
Anyone tracking my address could guess that I’ve had some setbacks in my life. But God has stayed the same, even as I evolve and have to start over again.
Now I am married and living in Vernon Hills, Illinois, attending a vibrant church and meeting new people. I work part-time on my computer consulting business, and I devote much of the rest of my time to writing and marketing my books, with my wife as my highly motivated marketing director.
Totally amazed. Having read several of the author’s book series, this rates high in his list. Knowing what the scriptures say about the two Wittinesses in “The Book of Revelations”, the author will capture your imagination from the beginning to the end. He created in my mind what they were doing to lead up to the end and the momentum wouldn’t allow me to put the book down. As with all his books, he will leave you wanting more. I thank God for the authors ability to capture our attention and allow our imaginations to create the story of “The Two Witnesses”.
A great deal of action, with more political and spiritual opposition than previously encountered. I like how others are empowered to "Pass on" the blessings. Lots of really great wisdom and growing faith. Is this the last book in the series? The main issue is, keep the fires burning, keep doing what called, led, and learned. It is more than a story.
