About the Book

Imagine an America not too many years distant. An America that seems perfect on the surface, but whose ethical underpinnings have totally collapsed. An America where abortion is the rule for imperfect fetuses and euthanasia is mandatory at age 75. Jon and Grace Stanton's allegiance to God is put to the ultimate test in this future society. As they struggle to to protect two members of their family from the law of the land, they must rely on each other and their faith as they never have before.

Now more than ever this novel, first published in 1981, seems in its description of a world where morality is dictated by technology rather than the Word of God.

What Others Have Said

"...a masterpiece." - Jerry B. Jenkins

"A thought-provoking story of the implications of living out the Christian faith in a culture where the value of human life continues to deteriorate. It's startling that this book was written more than twenty-five years ago."
