“A moving, fast-paced account of the end times.”–Publisher's Weekly
A typical day at work turns into a nightmare for Emma Grady when her favorite patient and several colleagues vanish in front of her. Fear turns to chaos as Emma begins the frantic race from Brooklyn to Queens, anxious to discover if her boyfriend is safe. Subways are closed, graves are open, and countless people have inexplicably disappeared. Mayhem erupts as terror grips the residents of New York City.
What could make so many vanish in a moment? And not just in New York, but all over the globe? Emma wonders if this is the predicted end of the world and begins a desperate search for answers.
This page-turning story will take you on a riveting journey from New York City to Israel, and in the final chapters, Donna turns to the pages of the Bible, where you’ll learn that God has made known to us “the end from the beginning,” and that things aren’t spiraling downward but are actually looking up.
The bestselling author of The Christmas Shoes now explores a future world facing its final days in The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, weaving end-times prophecies into the lives of Emma and her friends as they struggle to survive and come face-to-face with the chilling truth about the disappearances.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
VanLiere (The Christmas Secret) provides a moving, fast-paced account of the end times. Physical therapist Emma Grady is just arriving for a long day of work when a client disappears right in front of her. Meanwhile, Elliott Hirsch is at a funeral when graves are opened and people both living and dead disappear; and Dr. Zerah Adler witnesses others in his office disappear. Across the globe people are disappearing, ushering in chaos and confusion. As cities collapse and governments scramble to explain and rebuild, Elliott and Zerah both feel called to spread the Gospel, and Emma connects with friends and others who now believe the disappearances are part of God's prophecy to prepare for hard days ahead and the budding of new faith. At the end of this well-crafted dystopian saga, VanLiere includes an epilogue as a blueprint of where these prophecies can be found in the Bible and a deeper study of what the verses mean. Filled with heavy warning but hope, this speculative tale of the realization of prophecy will please readers who enjoy James Rubart.
