Description
In search of Vanessa, his first love, Vincent J. Christopher graduates
from college and reports for duty in Vietnam as a young U.S. Army
chaplain. Trained to fulfill his first commission, providing spiritual
guidance and comfort to the soldiers in First Squad, he's unknowingly
chosen for initiation into the realm of Immortal Keepers.
If
successful, he will receive a second commission, gathering God's elect
and preparing them for the upcoming end time battle. The day before his
twenty-first birthday, he dreams of time traveling between 1967 Vietnam
and 33 A.D. Jerusalem, reliving the agonizing deaths of his squad
members, as well as witnessing the three-year ministry of Christ. When
Vincent realizes he may be trapped in ancient Jerusalem and forced to
visually endure the horrific torture of Christ's crucifixion, he
struggles against his fate.
Throughout his tour of duty, Vince
teaches his squad members about the second coming of Christ, each
example triggering a dream that hurls them from the battlefield to the
first ministry of Christ.
A Dream Before Dying entertains while
it instructs, combining the fantasy of The Wizard of Oz, the conflict of
Platoon, and the emotion of The Passion of Christ.
This story
answers many questions on the minds of bible students passionate about
the Word of God, provoking them to think outside popular theories. It's a
bible study and an amazing story.
Some of the topics include:
Where do we go when we die?
Is there a difference between saved and born again?
What lessons can we learn from the raising of Lazarus, and the 12 year old girl?
Why do loved ones betray each other in the end days?
The Rapture theory, how to understand the "anytime" doctrine.
What did Jesus mean when he said...? and much more.
It
is not my intention to tell readers what to think. However it is
certainly my intention to provoke readers to think about everything they
have been taught about God's word and use A Dream Before Dying/The
Initiation as a resource for wisdom and knowledge.
