September 23, 2005 Trouble had appeared to be Vince Davis's middle name. it had seemed like to hardly anything had gone right for him during his second time around in 2005. He had been a fugitive from justice after having escaped from a mental institution where he had been misdiagnosed and treated badly while being wrongfully confined. He had straightened out that wrong as well as several other trying and sometimes daunting problems with help from his co-workers and the backing of the San Diego Police Chief. With the fear of arrest and re-committal to an institution gone from his mind the stage had been set for him to prove to the world that what he had claimed he had experienced in 2009 wasn't something he had conjured up in an effort to get attention and that he wasn't crazy although he was beginning to doubt his own sanity at times. Then, his entire world collapsed and came tumbling down around him like a house of cards, which would prove to be more difficult to dig his way out of than anything that had come before.

Southern Californians had long been accustomed to the occasional jolts of small earthquakes, and for the most part had come to ignore the small jolts and considered them as more of a reminder that they lived in an area that was dissected by the great San Andreas Fault along with many other smaller fault lines. Vince Davis, the director of the Seismic Center located in San Diego, California, had been awakened from sleep at 2:00 AM the morning of August 18th, 2009 by the jolt of a small earthquake, not unlike many others he had experienced since moving to San Diego and taking over his position as director of the facility. He felt no urgency in regard to the earthquake, knowing the Seismic Center would be monitoring the quake. What he didn't know, but would soon learn, was that the small quake was just the beginning of something more devastating and ominous. Something that he and his assistant, Jim Lewis, never imagined could happen. The two, caught up in the disaster, would band together with a group of new found and dedicated allies, forming a courageous force of defiant individuals. The government of the United States, no longer viable, crumbled and fell apart under the fury of the all-consuming disaster. Military and government officials alike deserted their posts, as Washington and the White House burned. If the group was going to survive, they would have to find their own way, and do so by their own means. In a short period of 35 days, they would find themselves in a constant struggle against nature and the enemies they would encounter along the way. He and his allies are ultimately forced to abandon their mountaintop headquarters and go to St. Louis, where they will have to make their last stand and face the power of the mighty New Madrid Fault.

'The Search For Answers' is the second novel and continuing story in 'The Continent Of St. Louis' series, where a startled and confused, Vince Davis finds himself back in 2005, confined to a mental institution for telling his story and experiences of the world's destruction in 2009. In a hostile world where no one believes him, he will have to face new challenges and adversaries in an effort to prove his sanity and sort out how he came to be, back in 2005.

The author of this work, Benjamin Beddome, is known to the denomination, in this country, chiefly by means of his excellent hymns. To those who are familiar with the effusions of his poetical genius, and who are conscious of having derived spiritual benefit from them, some further account of the author and of his writings will doubtless be acceptable. Benjamin Beddome was the son of the Rev. John Beddome, pastor of the Baptist Church in the Pithay, Bristol; and was born at Henley, January 23, 1717. He was baptized in London, by the Rev. Samuel Wilson, of Prescott Street, in the year 1739; and by that church, the mother of many illustrious sons, he was called to the work of the ministry. Having spent some time as a student under the Rev. Bernard Foskett, of the Bristol Academy, and afterwards at the Independent Academy, Mile-end, London, he went to Bourton-on-the-Water, in July, 1740; and was ordained pastor of the church, September 23, 1743. Mr. Foskett, his former tutor, gave the charge, founded upon 1 Tim. iv. 12, " Let no man despise thy youth;" Dr. Joseph Stennett preached to the church from Heb. xiii. 17, " Obey them that havethe rule over you;" Messrs. Hayden, Cook, and Fuller of Abingdon prayed; and Mr. Foskett offered the ordination prayer, with the laying on of hands by the pastors. The early intercourse of Beddome with those pious and learned men, Wilson and Foskett, exercised a happy influence in forming his character and directing his subsequent pursuits. Their counsels and instructions stimulated him to the acquisition of sound and liberal knowledge, while their own example presented a forcible illustration of the high uses which it might be made to subserve, in the ministry of reconciliation.* He became an indefatigable student; and soon acquired a distinguished repu...
