After this, those who survived came and attacked knowledge and those who held it, those who were responsible for the destruction. God preserved a few and called them to take their knowledge to a distant land, where they joined together, built and ark and went into it and sunk it, living and preserving God's original creation. Sadly, genetics was one thing that did survive the attack on knowledge and very little is left not mutated. Then came the call for those in the ark to send their children back out into the world to reach the fallen world. This is where the story is at now. Teens come forth out of the ark and attempt to protect their birthright, God's creation, what's left of it that hasn't been destroyed. They must battle the enemies and risk their lives. They must learn to rely on God rather than their own ideas or desires. | Extra Notes: | This book isn't fantasy, but it is futuristic like science fiction. Yet it is the opposite of science fiction, most of technology has been destroyed. Yet there is the science of genetics and it's effect on the world. So call it what you like, no matter what the chosen genre, this book challenges us to put our faith in God in a deep way, to cling to it no matter what goes on, no matter how strong the enemy is. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
