Learn to listen like Jesus. Love like it matters. And unleash the quiet revolution that changes everything.

Because sometimes the holiest thing you can do... is just shut up.

Book One of the Tribulation Testimony Series

When millions vanish in an instant, the world descends into chaos. But for Pastor Luke Grayson, being left behind isn’t a mistake—it’s a mission.

In this gripping end-times thriller, Remnant: The Refuge Awakens follows Luke as he navigates a world where truth is outlawed, faith is deadly, and the Gospel must go underground. With persecution rising and the clock ticking, a scattered few must rise as a remnant—holding fast to the promises of God when the cost is everything.

If you loved Left Behind or crave faith-based fiction with real grit and spiritual fire, this series is for you.

Get ready to step into the fire.
The refuge is awakening.
Next...Chains will break.
