Synopsis

When the Bible is outlawed and the devout forced underground, a tattered page with just a scrap of the Sermon on the Mount serves as a touchstone for a faithful few on the run. Fast-paced and chilling, The Remnant (CWR Press) is by award-winning author Monte Wolverton. It's a physical and spiritual expedition through a dystopian world, ultimately offering hope in these perplexing and challenging times.

In the year 2069 the Apocalypse came and went, but Jesus didn't show up. Instead, a cataclysmic war left a totalitarian government ruling the world, and it bans all forms of religion. Those who insist on practicing religion are imprisoned in work camps around the world.

An inmate in a North Dakota work camp, Grant Cochrin, hears rumors of isolated Christian communities in the lawless Wilderness. Escaping with his family and friends, he begins a quest. During their long, dangerous journey, the Cochrins and their friends encounter a series of bizarre religious communities, but none of them seem right. Just as they are ready to abort their quest and start their own settlement, they are ambushed by a gang of human traffickers, and faced with an unthinkable dilemma.

Monte Wolverton is an award-winning author and syndicated editorial cartoonist and an associate editor of CWR magazine. He is an ordained minister and holds a MA from Goddard College in Vermont. Along with his wife Kaye, he makes his home in southwest Washington State.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the year 2069 the Apocalypse came and went, but Jesus didn’t show up, as some expected. Instead, a cataclysmic war, natural disasters and pandemics eradicated 90 percent of earth’s population. Now, in 2131, a totalitarian government rules the world from the majestic, opulent capitol of Carthage, Tunisia. Blamed for igniting the war, religion and religious books are banned. Citizens who will not renounce their religion are sent to work camps. Grant Cochrin, imprisoned in a bleak petroleum camp in what was once North Dakota, leads his family and friends to escape and embark on a long, dangerous quest for a Christian community. Their resource in this journey? A cherished page torn from the now banished Bible—a remnant of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount handed down from Grant’s grandparents. What if there were an Apocalypse and Jesus didn’t return? What if the survivors found themselves living in a world ruled by a totalitarian government, where religion is forbidden and all religious texts have been destroyed? In The Remnant, award-winning author Monte Wolverton tells the tale of a band of concentration camp escapees who trek through the lawless American wilderness on a quest for authentic Christianity, only to come face to face with an unthinkable dilemma. The Remnant is a fast-paced story punctuated with dry satire, memorable characters and hard questions about religious institutions.
