Apostasy Rising Episode 2 (End Times Chronicles, #2) / End Times Chronicles (ePub)

The Church's future is history.

The second book in a four-episode, binge-worthy story season released monthly, told through full-length, complete novels with cliff-hangers that make you hunger for more!

The year is 2123. The citizens of the world have united. Peace, prosperity, and progress reign supreme. Rising apostasy threatens to consume Ichthus, the last remnant of Christianity. And the Church's most chaotic hour since the Protestant Reformation has dawned with the dissolution of the faith and creation of a one-world religious assembly, Panligo.

Standing at the center in this second episode continuing the epic story is a broken parish priest whose faith in the future of the Church is beginning to fray-and whose life has just been decimated by an act of terror. Only questions swirl around who perpetrated the act of persecuting violence. And evidence begins to surface of an old nemesis of Ichthus rising from the shadows to once again bring the Church to its knees. The only hope for Christianity's future survival seems to be a lost religious order, and discovering its beginning and end means traveling back in time to visit one of Christ's apostles.

Will the future Church survive forces threatening her from inside and out? Will Ichthus retrieve from history what it needs to survive the future? And will ordinary believers rise to do the impossible when the Church needs them most?

End Times Chronicles is an explosively inventive series that recasts the Christian struggle in a future world rife with social and religious challenges combined with technological and political change that feels close to home-inviting readers to experience the sacrifices and struggles to persevere unto victory in the face of hostile forces, both in the future and the past.

Not since the blockbuster Left Behind series has a story captured the heart of the Church's mission in these last days-offering a unique, page-turning adventure that not only entertains through thrilling action and mysterious suspense, but captures the urgency of our own day and inspires for the journey of faith.
