About the Author

About the Publisher

Acknowledgments

The idea for the Restoration series has been germinating in my mind for many years, but it’s a subject that has required quite a bit of research, and help from several friends and experts. Special thanks to Randy Ingermanson, physicist and my fellow Christian author, who advised me on the kind of crisis that I needed for this book. Thanks also to banker Phil Posey, who advised me on the financial repercussions of an event like the one in the series. And thank you to my friend Beth Runnels, who caught the vision early in the process and encouraged me with stories from her childhood and ideas that I was able to use.
