Sarah Martinez has always felt different. She cant explain what is missing, but she knows this cant be all there is. She dreams of living on her own in an apartment in downtown Portland, but deep down she fears that even moving out of her parents house in the suburbs wont satisfy the longing in her soul. Then she discovers something unexpected in her great-grandmothers attic, and a new dream begins to grow within her. Living in a time when the United States is a churchless, closed nation under military rule, Sarah has never thought much about the existence of God. But soon after her discovery she is being pursued by gangs of men who seem possessed by a supernatural power. Then she meets Justin, a mysterious stranger who claims that judgment is coming and he can protect her, but at the cost of all that she has known. Soon Sarah is swept up in an adventure that will test her new-found faith and change her life forever. Does she really believe? Will she really leave everything behind?

Some books simply entertain us, while others help us wrestle with life's deepest questions. The House on Neptune is one of those rare books that does both. With humor, honesty, and keen biblical insight, Brian Robbins brings Christians face to face with one of the Bible's great themes which, if we believed it, would change everything in our lives. Planet Earth, he says, is not our home. He shares the experiences and Scriptures which have convinced him that Christians are better off to seeing themselves as "strangers and aliens" here, and makes the case that when they do so, life is more fulfilling even this side of eternity. Along the way, he brings his down-to-earth teaching style to topics of universal importance, and challenges us to imagine what our lives would be like if we were willing to take the radical words of the Bible seriously.
