The First and Final Holy War is an adventure, a theological study, a record of the visitation of angels in a time when the world is racked with local battles in a war with terrorism gone bad. There are gun battles, murders, executions, block parties, Bible studies, rescue attempts, traders, and some serious thoughts for churches to contemplate.It was a missing friend and a murdered pastor that prompted Jack Renden to begin preparations for himself and his family to weather the coming storm of the Great Tribulation. He was certain it was about to begin and was not at all certain about the rapture. It was a time of uncertainty about many things, a time when hope and faith seemed to be a part of a distant past that returned in momentary glimpses of how things used to be.
