Current events stirring interest in GATEKEEPER, Book I in the Fellowship of the Mystery^TM trilogy

Written more than a decade ago--years before the attacks of September 11th and the current economic turmoil--the political thriller GATEKEEPER foreshadowed an era when reactions to threats of terrorism, urban unrest, and economic uncertainty would jeopardize the very foundations of government, all in the midst of a hotly contested presidential campaign.

Although author Terry Craig says she didn't intend to model characters of GATEKEEPER after specific people, she believes certain scenarios portrayed in the books of her futuristic trilogy were likely--given America's trajectory at the time.  However even she has been surprized by the striking parallels that have developed over the past ten years.  The personalities, financial erosion, epic disasters, terrorist activity, and the extreme polarization of Americas's population are eerily mirrored in the situations and political players of GATEKEEPER.

Insider intrigue, economic catastrophy, criminal activity, racial and religious hatred all contribute civil upheaval on such an unprecedented scale that citizens are all too willing to begin sacrificing their freedoms for a return to normalcy.  While Terry neither takes credit for nor finds solace in the seemingly insightful projections of GATEKEEPER, she believes it and the two companion books of her trilogy (SOJOURNER and SWORDSMAN) accurately delineate the choices and potential consequences that are being set before America.

We didn't write it . . . but this article merits attention:  Just say no blasphemy Laws

In their continuing bid to crush any opposition to their views, some religious and special interest groups are making headway in their efforts to ban free speech. But if the Life and words of Jesus Christ are the guide for Christian conduct, we need to remember that God prefers to let people make informed, free choices regarding their own paths and words.

In an article on October 19th, USA Today by contributor Jonathan Turley (the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University) addresses a trend that should concern all people.

Free Speech: Just Say No To Blasphemy Laws
By Jonathan Turley

Perhaps in an effort to rehabilitate the United States’ image in the Muslim world, the Obama administration has joined a U.N. effort to restrict religious speech. This country should never sacrifice freedom of expression on the altar of religion."

SNEAK PEEKS AT TWO MORE OF OUR ARTICLES:

Prophecy, Dreams, Visions, Angels . . . and your destiny?   An introduction to a series on the subject of the supernatural and the Church.

More than ever, I believe the Lord wants to bring clarity to people about dreams, visions, "words from the Lord," angels, and other supernatural phenomenon.   As in every age of human history, people today will flock to hear a message that is delivered with supernatural signs.   In some cases, just the claim of a supernatural source (such as an angelic visitation or a vision) is enough to convince people that the person with the claim is a messenger sent by God.   Given the voracious hunger for supernatural experiences in the world at large and even among many in the Church, it would be WISE for Christians to gird themselves with the Lord's means of discernment."

In her article, The World is Looking for a Hero,  Stephanie Bennett, Ph.D.  discusses  the perils of turning the gift of creative expression into a commodity . . . and confusing celebrities with heroes:

It used to be that people were known for being heroes. Doing something noble or heroic would be reason for someone's popular acclaim. With the rise of modern media people began to be known... just for being known.  As a culture, we largely replaced our heroes with celebrities.  Once the world did that, Christianity followed."

Current favorite quote:

"The thing about our wonderful, glorious, loving Father in heaven is that he chooses not to control us. He allows his prodigal children to take their share and go to a far country and waste it, he could stop us with a mighty thunderbolt into the ground right before our feet, or he could tilt the earth to roll us back to the place he wanted us to be, but he doesn't - he just lets us go with a tear in his eye and a dagger through his heart.  Like us, he longs to be loved. And he knows that love is something that a heart must give - love can never be taken." -- Chris Jeffries
