The Return - Richard Nathan - Bog

"I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end."
Revelation 22:13 This final thriller in the Omega Point Series concludes amidst massive upheavals and approaching judgment as Seattle's Arcane Institute and the global Harmony Keepers close in on Loren, the now-pregnant Eve, and their hidden Christian community in the San Juan Islands. Still new Christians, Loren and Eve Montcrest are learning in the midst of continuing fiery trials about the power and faithfulness of their Lord despite the evils of their global society called Harmony. Living in the light doesn't happen automatically-- it's a daily choice and battle with Christ as the head. Though they long for comfort and protection, the couple soon learns their island refuge is part of a dangerous volcanic chain that is awakening, forcing them to face the reality that there is no absolute safety on Earth. Even worse, they soon learn that old friends and their mentor, Alexander Renkin, are brutally enslaved in the heart of darkness. Will they sacrifice their new comfort and security to help them? How can they even penetrate such strongholds? Jasmine Crenford, head of Seattle's Arcane Institute, and her lackey Florian are determined to eradicate the secret Christian underground in the Pacific Northwest even as they struggle between themselves for power. But Jasmine's terrible secrets plunge her new protege and Eve's best friend into madness. Meanwhile, the witch Sonia, who tried to kill Loren and Eve, is terrified for her own life but finds surprising refuge in a most unlikely place. Can Eve and Loren penetrate the dark world of Harmony to rescue their friends? Can they survive their dark global society? Can God really protect the persecuted? Each novel is a fast-paced spiritual thriller with contemporary flair and a solid biblical foundation that plays on today's fascination with paganism, fantasy, and witchcraft to plumb their deceptive nature in the Light of Jesus Christ. The overall message is one of hope in the power and love of the Lord in the midst of a darkening world. Our readers enjoy the backdrop of a one-world government set in the near future, though there's no prophetic timetable. The series best fits the Christy Awards category of "futuristic." Their ages range from young adult to mature. And will He turn the great tide of deception from a glittering web into a shining net that gathers up His people? As the shaking begins, who will stand?
