However, upon arriving back home, many years later, Jim found things were not the way he had once known.

It is inevitable that planet Earth will face challenges in the future. Anyone who doesn't believe that is a fool. Ask the people of Atlantis or Lemuria or the other civilizations that vanished almost overnight from this planet. Whether you believe that they existed or not, the evidence that there was some civilization that preceded ours is overwhelming. Machu Picchu, the Nazca lines of Peru, Easter Island, submerged roads off Bermuda, Kailasa Temple, the "stone of the pregnant woman," and so many others were created by someone, but no one knows who or how. Maybe it would be a good idea to prepare for the unexpected. That was the original intent of this novel. The sequels have happened as a natural extension of the first story. This book was never intended to be a series. I had planned to kill everyone at the end, but I just couldn't do it. I wanted to follow them and see how they adapted to their new environment, something that we may all have to do one day, soon maybe, without modern technology. It could prove quite challenging. Mostly, this novel was intended to be interesting enough for students to read. It is written with high schoolers in mind. Therefore, there is no vulgar language or "sex" in this novel, nor will there be in the sequels. This book can be read by anyone of any age without fear of being offended for those two reasons. However, many of the questions posed by the characters are questions that each of us asks at some point during our lives. Questioning the existence of a higher power is human, regardless of your religious upbringing. I believe that the more questions you ask, the better answers you get. Above all, I hope that you enjoy my story. It should make you laugh, cry, angry, sad, and happy. Those are what separate us from the other animals.

"Empatia, umanità e dialogo". Ecco perché la lettura delle fiabe può rappresentare uno strumento didattico prezioso", spiega Rosa Tiziana Bruno, maestra, scrittrice, animatrice di scrittura creativa nelle scuole, autrice del libro "Insegnare con la lettura fiabesca", un'opera ricca di spunti operativi didattici ed educativi. Attraverso le emozioni che una fiaba può suscitare nei bambini, noi possiamo migliorare l'intero percorso di apprendimento, stimolando motivazione, fantasia e creatività, giocando, manipolando, rielaborando fiabe conosciute e non, reinterpretando punti vista e prospettive, grazie anche all'uso dell'articolo di cronaca giornalistica e dell'intervista.

I'm not a fatalist, not a survivalist in the strictest sense, nor a pessimist. I do, however, believe in being prepared for possibilities. If I could afford to do so, I would have done exactly what Henry and Carol did in this book for their family. It doesn't mean that you stop living today or don't plan for a "normal" future for you and your family. What it means is that you recognize that Mother Nature and the universe are not controlled by man, that anything can happen to this planet at any time. The Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" has been largely forgotten. I believe that we may be facing exactly the scenario that is envisioned in this piece of fiction, whether because of a Planet X or global warming or some other natural cycle that the earth faces. How many people now think that workable evacuation plans for New Orleans or Houston were a good idea? It's a little late once the water's up to your attic. The same thing is true of what may potentially happen to all of us in the next few years. Regardless, it is inevitable that planet Earth will face these challenges in the future. Anyone who doesn't believe that is a fool.

Today God is alive and well. Therefore, without a doubt, there is power in prayer. Through prayer it has given me the power to conquer this enemy called FEAR, and not to be easily moved. It is very difficult to please God without faith. God is real and does exist. He truly rewards those who earnestly seek him. For we must not worry about tomorrow. For God holds our tomorrow. Whatever way a trial starts, trust me, it shall not end that way. For the end of a matter is always better. Do you know who Jesus is? If not, I pray that after you finish reading my story it shall inspire you to search for him with all your heart.

What a joy it was to write this book! I grew spiritually as I learned more and more about God's providential grace and love, and the hope we have in the advents of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It was a worshipful experience for me as I reflected upon God's Word and wrote these words to honor our Lord and this season we refer to as Advent. I hope you too will discover an atmosphere of worship in these pages; I pray God will use this devotional to draw you closer to himself. Each day's devotion provides a Scripture lesson, opening prayer, quotation from an early Church Father, a prayer of confession, and a brief reflection on God's Word. In addition to offering what I hope will be a worshipful experience for you, my desire is that this resource will also equip you in putting the deeps truths of Scripture into practice in your daily life. Thus, each day's devotion concludes with questions for reflection and action steps, that I call, Walking Points. These are designed to encourage and help you walk more faithfully with Christ, not only during the Advent season, but for the whole year. May this devotional increase our desire for Christ's return, even as we celebrate and live in light of his first advent, in which he took on human flesh and dwelt among us in grace and truth. Let us give thanks for that baby born in a manger, who was named Jesus, for he would save his people from their sins. And let us declare with the Apostle John, "Come, Lord Jesus!"Dale Tedder is a pastor at Southside Methodist Church in Jacksonville, Florida.
