The Reliant, Paperback/Patrick Johnston

Descriere

When the dollar collapses, widespread rioting and looting threaten the peace of a family in Zanesville, Ohio. Eight children tragically lose their parents in the chaos. The oldest, 19-year-old lovesick Sophie, is forced to care for her defenseless and hungry siblings in a stretch of woods surrounded by lawless anarchy. Their father has been killed, and their mother and Adam, Sophie's fianc, have gone missing. Running out of food and facing threats from encroaching marauders, they are tempted to doubt God's love. When Adam is found and Sophie discovers he has resorted to looting to survive, she cannot bring herself to forgive him. Must he sacrifice everything to win her back? When the group captures a thief, they learn the attack on their home was no random act of violence. Torn between justice and mercy, with their allies turning against them, their faith is heated in the fire. Will God answer their prayers, or must their faith remain blind to facts?
