Revelations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644927410)

Each of us is born into this world under very different circumstances. Some are born privileged while others are born in situations of extreme disadvantage. No one has a choice regarding how you start life. However, at some point, you have a choice of how you live and ultimately what you die living for.

Here you find three people whose lives never intersect while alive, but all find themselves experiencing a common event. An event that literally defines their destiny. Everyone has individual struggles and challenges in his/her life. Each person has a mission to overcome in his/her personal situation so he may become empowered to a greater understanding of why they are here.

The first person is Kora who is a black woman born into slavery in the mid-1700s. She suffers abuse in all forms from her slave owners and alike. The harsh treatment ultimately leads to her death, but not before she found salvation.

Next, we are introduced to Jacob. He was born during the 1970s and is the son of a prominent mafia figure. Jacob is drawn into this dark underworld lifestyle while struggling to find his place between the world of violence he knows, and the love he finds in a woman named Crystal. They both meet a tragic death during the course of his struggle.

Lastly, there's Terry. He's a computer genius and a spiritual man. He is also a man who has multiple demons he is dealing with. Aside from a weight issue, his alternative lifestyle has introduced him to a number of complications in his life. Disease, guilt, and depression eventually dominate his life, negating his professional accomplishments.

Kora, Jacob, and Terry later experience the rapture simultaneously, from different vantage points, yielding different realities for each. Although neither knew each other, they see one another during the event as their destinies are revealed to all.

Immediately after the rapture, the forces of evil gather for their assault on what's left of humanity.
