"If Tomorrow Comes" is an end times story that begins when drilling for an alternative fuel source in Antarctica blows up unleashing a massive barrage of natural disasters globally and forcing governments to unite. As fear surges across the world the U.S. government takes steps to unify the populace abolishing their rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, centralizing power, and consolidating religious worship to a new Unified Church. In this world families are torn apart by divided loyalties. The story centers around the impact of world events on two families; Meg, Dan and their two children- Mitch and Kris, and Jake and his very pregnant wife Jenny.This is a powerful story where news events of the day parallel biblical prophecy.The main characters are memorable as they grow in faith and their personalities take on a greater dimension. Mitch struggles at home with feelings of inadequacy, but as the story progresses his determination, courage and faith catapult him into taking a central role in saving people's souls. His father Dan, a science teacher is complacent at first, but when confronted with opposition to his church and faith he stands firm in his conviction, as does his daughter Kris. Only Meg, will falter under pressure and succumb to worldly pressure. A naval surgeon, Jake wars against hypocrisy in the field hospital where he must stand firm in his belief. Left behind when Jake is ordered to duty in Hawaii Jenny's determination and bravery help her strike back at the demons that threaten her mother and father's home.This is a story of love, betrayal, courage and faith when challenged by a world gone mad. It's a page turner that keeps the reader captivated and I recommend it highly.
