The Chastisement

On a bright, sunny day in May, it finally happened: God looked upon the evil of the world, put His foot down, and the planet trembled. The Horsemen were loosed, and billions died. War, earthquakes, floods, plague, and disaster heaped upon catastrophe.
Yet it was not The End of Days. A precious and faithful remnant were spared. Among the billion or so survivors across the entire earth was the Fleming family and the inhabitants of the little community of Appletree, Alabama.
This is the story of how, by the Power of God Almighty, this Community of Believers not only survived but also thrived in what had been predicted a millennia before by Saint Malachy of Armagh: The Chastisement.
