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.

How will the adults and young people left behind cope with their new reality. How will they survive the challenging times they face?

Unfailing Love (Heart Series #3) by writingforChrist

Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWF

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ready for Rapture by EndTimesResources

Total Surrender and Adoration - Prophetic Messages dictated to Susan Davis "The hour is approaching of MY Return for the church. It closes in. Each day, I draw nearer. The Season is now! You are in the season to be watching closely. This is not the time to be sitting on your hands or closing your eyes. This is the time to be vigilant. Keep your nose pressed to the glass-watching, looking, listening for MY Trumpet Blast. I will come like a thief in the night. If you are not watching, you will not be taken when I come back to rescue MY church, to bring out MY bride. She is gathering under MY Mantle: MY Blood Covering. I only have eyes for her-for MY bride: those who choose to follow ME, their GOD and to lay down their affection for the world and all it stands for. MY bride has no taste for the world and its false attraction. Many have turned to the world for all their answers, hoping to receive truth for life's problems through men and MY enemy's works. He has always longed to lead men astray and only wants to deceive mankind and take MY children to hell. This is what happens, when MY children are asleep and not watching. They are deceived and easily fall into enemy hands." Be always ready. Rapture is imminent! We shall meet the Lord. Look up for our redemption draws nigh!
