IT'S CLOSING TIME . . .

"The Tribulation is here - NOW. God is coming back for His Church... But before He does, Earl and Joyce have a special mission to complete."

The Church Age is about to end, bringing the world to the fearfully-anticipated Seventieth Week of Daniel, the final seven-year period spoken of by the prophet Daniel in Chapter Nine of his book in the Bible. Daniel's Seventieth Week dovetails with Jesus' description of the Time of the End in Matthew 24 and His yet more detailed description of the Great Tribulation and its awesome terrors in His Revelation to John.

Earl and Joyce have found and treasured their second chance for love as told in the prequel "Buddy." Now they find themselves in the midst of the transition from the Church Age to the restoration of Israel as the apple of God's eye, put on hold at the Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection. Israel might find itself in God's favor, but first she has to survive, because it's also the time of Jacob's Trouble as spoken of in the thirtieth chapter of the prophet Jeremiah. But God through Jeremiah also promised to save Israel out of her woes and, like the words of the prophet Zechariah who said that salvation would come to all of Israel, told her that He would be their God forever.

God can do this by Himself, but that's not the way He works. Instead He is choosing a few very special and courageous people out of His Church to endure the worst of the Tribulation while they help with the restoration of Israel. Earl and Joyce are among these key people, and their mission will bring danger and pain to their doorstep as an increasingly dictatorial and self-serving society attempts to thwart God's plans.

This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.

This first novel in the "Buddy" series from Art Perkins is a love story - but one told in a deeper way than the typical romantic adventure, because it is a story not just between people, but with the romance God shares between Himself and mankind.
"Buddy" follows Earl and his pain at the tragic loss of his wife. Through dealing with his own grief and the pressures of his job, he dives into distraction with his hang gliding activity. Through an unexpected encounter with God, he volunteers his time at a local nursing home and befriends a young man afflicted with cerebral palsy.
Joyce, whose husband had been killed by a drunk driver, meets Earl at work. Sharing much in common with each other, they find themselves forming deep connections with each other. At the same time, connections also are developing with God and with Buddy, bringing Earl and Joyce through a series of adventures into a unique understanding of God.
"Buddy" is a story of these connections and how God works through the Holy Spirit to bring people, broken in their own ways, to Him in love.
