Teenager Jonathan Wesley, his girlfriend and his group of friends get the shock of their lives when suddenly a number of people disappeared from the earth without warning. Could this be the fulfilment of what the American evangelist came preaching about. Pastor Alan, Jonathan's father, raffled feathers in the church when he invited the guest preacher to come and teach about rapture and the end of the world. How will the adults and young people left behind cope with their new reality. How will they survive the challenging times they face?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Getting to know the teens firsthand as a Youth Minister, he discovers the shy, only child girl with a hard past. Soon after gravitating toward her, tragedy strikes her hard. When they take her in, both of them go through hard times themselves. But God's ways are higher than our's, right?

He had plenty of friends at school, he got semi good grades in his classes, he played sports, his parents were proud of him, he always got everything he ever needed or wanted without having to work for it. People envied him for how easy his life was and he had a number of girls crushing on him even claiming they slept with him. It seemed like nothing could go wrong for him or so he thought. All it took was one horrible event to take place at a party to change his whole life forever. Everyone he once called friends turned their backs on him as soon as they heard the news. None of them believing a single word that came out of his mouth including his own parents.

Heavenly Visions (Part 2): The Great Prophesied Tribulation by Astin707

Sequel to the Heavenly Visions:(Part 1) The Burning Inferno Where Dark Entities Dwell... This book contains the knowledge of the Armageddon and the Rapture of the Church in the near future. Also contains the story of Satan's vengeance and the spiritual birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ (before the physical birth here on Earth through Mary). Beware, for the details are too confusing to those who doesn't understand the Word of God (Bible) and that everything written are TRUE and REAL, for it is impossible for a 15 year old to be able to come up with such things, without the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit. I, as a messenger of God, do NOT force you all to believe what I write, for the decision and choice is yours to take. You have the right to choose to believe or not, since you have the Gift of Free Will. I merely do the task given to me, so I will spread the word to those who are willing to listen before the impending doom of this world. I pray and hope for your cooperation and devotion towards what the Lord God has plan for your life and faith in the Truth revealed unto your eyes. Remember everyone, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth and the Truth will set us free. I pray and hope that after reading this book, you'll finally realize and accept your mistakes in life and ask for forgiveness to the Lord Almighty God, turning away from your sins. Be purified and be bless by the grace and consuming fire of God. Be washed and be cleansed by the fresh blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray and believe. Have Faith and hope in Him, who is ALWAYS with us in every step we make in our lives. Rejoice for the Time has come! The Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ! The Wedding of the Lamb! Rejoice and be Glad!!! Amen.
