Book Description
Winner of the 2018 Spur Award for Historical Novel A sweeping historical novel of the American West that follows the dramatic life of Daytime Smoke, Nez Perce son of explorer William Clark. The Coming is an epic novel of native-white relations in North America, intimately told through the life of Daytime Smoke--the real-life red-haired son of William Clark and a Nez Perce woman. In 1805, Lewis and Clark stumble out of the Rockies on the edge of starvation. The Nez Perce help the explorers build canoes and navigate the rapids of the Columbia, then spend two months hosting them the following spring before leading them back across the snowbound mountains. Daytime Smoke is born not long after, and the tribe of his youth continues a deep friendship with white Americans, from fur trappers to missionaries, even aiding the United States government in wars with neighboring tribes. But when gold is discovered on Nez Perce land in 1860, it sets an inevitable tragedy in motion. Daytime Smoke’s life spanned the seven decades between first contact and the last great Indian war. Capturing the trajectory experienced by so many native peoples--from friendship and cooperation to betrayal, war, and genocide--this sweeping novel, with its large cast of characters and vast geography, braids historical events with the drama of one man’s remarkable life. Rigorously researched and cinematically rendered, The Coming is a page-turning, heart-stopping American novel in a classic mode.

Book Description
In A Glimpse of the Coming King, author Richard J. “Dick” Hill explores what the Word of God teaches about the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Coming of Kalki
Author: Dr. Prabhakar Korada
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The Islamic concept of Qiyamat, and the Christian percept of The Day of Judgment coincide with the prophecies in the Hindu Kaala-Gnyaanam written by the Sage Sree Pothuluru Veera Brahmendra Swami of the 17th Century. Swamiji gave a graphic description of the Day which upon analysis suggests a sudden reversal of the magnetic polarity of the earth resulting in a Global Catastrophe. Mysterious incidents are prophesied. On the dark night of Amavasya (new moon), a full moon would appear. As people get wonderstruck, cattle look up towards the sky and start to cry. The sky will become red; the sun and the moon will appear side by side, the planets will change course; and the Sun will henceforth rise from the West. Unbelievable change in human and animal behaviour will be noticed; the just-born will speak to their mothers and jump out of their laps, animals will talk to humans, idols in temples will come to life, extreme sensuality and incest will become the norm, wood will sink and stones will float; everything will become topsy-turvy. The Kaala-Gnyaanam promises that at such a time the Saviour Kalki will descend from the skies astride a white horse Devadutta, with a long sword in hand, followed by an army of valiant warriors. He will destroy the evil and establish a New Order. While the Galactic phenomena are amenable to scientific reasoning, the appearance of a Messaiah is a matter of individual faith. Between the two extremes lie the strange behaviours and incidents that defy logic. But Science and Religion are not separate, claims the author; they are the two poles of a Spectrum; and the Twain shall meet on the Day of Judgment…

The Coming of the Son of Man
Author: Paul Bortolazzo
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1602471010
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
The proposed roadmap to peace between Israel and the Arabs is stalemated. Islamic terrorism is spreading around the world. In response the American President initiates a global plan to defeat this enemy of democracy. His invasion of three Muslim nations is an aggressive attempt to force the Arabs to sign for peace with Israel. Only the Father knows when His Son will deliver His elect from the wrath to come. Christians don't know the day or the hour but we are exhorted to watch so we won't be deceived. Jesus warned, '...When you see all these things, know that it's near-at the doors.' (Mat 24:33) What things? The invasion of Jerusalem by the Antichrist is a sign Christ's coming is near. For those who refuse to watch, Jesus promises to come like a thief. If this is true, then why are most apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers proclaiming the rapture must come before the Antichrist? Tragically, the falling away of Christians is going to be far greater than we ever imagined. Those who overcome the Antichrist and his evil world system will never be blotted out of the Book of Life. This is the message of the hour for the strengthening of the body of Christ Why? Because Jesus said it (Mat 24:25).
