The Last Generation:
Prophecy, Current World Events, and the End Times
Jim Simmons
Focal Point Publications
August 2008

Even born-again Christians and biblical scholars have difficulty reconciling biblical and end-time prophecy with science. This is especially true in light of the deceptions of the New Age Movement, which has mobilized people farther from the God of our forefathers and closer to the god of this world. Many scientists also believe our world is rapidly approaching an end time. The depiction of the Doomsday Clock on the front cover with midnight as “doomsday,” or the destruction of our world, represents the consensus of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

Such is the message of The Last Generation. It is an accessible, straightforward, well-documented overview of how contemporary worldviews and current and historical events have unfolded, consistent with biblical prophecy, logically revealing how and why we are in our last days. While faith is not a prerequisite for being captivated by Simmons’ research and presentation, it will certainly be the result—whether it is in the form of discovery, restoration, or redemption.

“… a prophecy book you can’t find anywhere. Biblical prophecy is viewed from a unique perspective that will captivate and enlighten you.”
J.R. Church, Prophecy in the News

London, 1196. At the command of Richard the Lionheart, Sir John de Wolfe has left his beloved West Country for the Palace of Westminster, where he has been appointed Coroner of the Verge.

The murder of one of the palace clerks, stabbed in broad daylight and thrown into the River Thames, leads John to suspect that there's a conspiracy underway to overthrow King Richard. And with the visit of the dowager Queen Eleanor fast approaching, the new Coroner must risk his life to prove his suspicions are right, root out the traitors within and prevent a national catastrophe.

Whistling in the Dark
Tamara Allen
Lethe Press
January 3, 2009

New York, 1919. His career as a concert pianist ended by a war injury, Sutton Albright returns to college, only to be expelled after an affair with a teacher. Unable to face his family, he heads to New York with no plans and little money—only a desire to call his life his own.

Jack Bailey’s life has changed as well. After losing his parents in the influenza epidemic, he hopes to save their beloved novelty shop—now his—by advertising on the radio, barely more than a novelty, itself.

Sutton lands work in Jack’s corner of the city and the two conclude they couldn’t be less suited for friendship. But when Sutton loses his job, Jack gives him a place to stay. Sutton returns to the piano to play for Jack and finds the intervening months have healed him. The program promises to rescue Jack’s business and Sutton’s career...but success brings its own risks for two men falling in love.

Jack and Sutton have many realistic obstacles to face as they try to build a life together, and the great pleasure of Whistling in the Dark lies in experiencing all this with them, two immensely appealing characters. – Obsidian Bookshelf
