A Storm Is Raging

AWARD WINNER: First Place "Religion (Eastern/Western)" Reader Views Award, Reviewers Choice Award, 2016. Searching for True Shelter -- The world without borders skids along on its current trajectory: Police Protection Units safeguard citizens from terrorists, nature has regained its rightful place as the primary factor in any issue, and religions and their harmful beliefs remain with only a few misguided souls. The wise creator of the new world order, Stan Smythe, knows people abhor making decisions, and his regulations remove that onerous task from their lives. Simplify their existence, make the traditional family obsolete, satisfy their basic needs, and allow all from the age of reason complete sexual freedom, and you have a happy citizenry. Or do you? In this ideal world, some still struggle and even question-but never openly-what is done in their best interests. Ben and his family, Keri, Jett, Professor Olinsky, and others dare to think, if only for a moment. Those who do so any longer find the storm opening above them. Sharon Gricol's A Storm Is Raging paints a dark but warning portrait of what will befall us if we fail to heed the warning signs. No, Stan Smythe is not behind the plan unfolding before us-a far more sinister one oversees . . . and waits.
