(Christian Fantasy) Two are better than one, for their partnership yields this advantage: if one falls, the other can help his companion up again; but woe betide the solitary person who when down has no partner to help him up. And if two lie side by side they keep each other warm; but how can one keep warm by himself? If anyone is alone, an assailant may overpower him, but two can resist; and a cord of three strands is not quickly snapped.

(Christian Science Fiction) "I still do not understand," Grizelda said, "why you asked your father not to find you a wife, if you are not going into a monastic order. And why he listened to your request."

The word "rapture" does not appear in scripture. However, there is strong evidence of its major themes throughout the New Testament.

What is love? Mary Dyck, a lonely young woman, was oppressed by the burden of her imagination. Her friend Susan was about to be engaged. Jason, the neighbor boy, had found a semblance of love in alcohol. Her father, a preacher, had numbed all feeling in order to fulfill his love for his church. Mary began to examine her life. What if there is something more? Her soul was parched for truth. What was it? Sudden death arrived like a lightning bolt flashing in the tempest. A new flowering hope appeared in Abe, a handsome young man with romance on his mind. He seemed perfect. Yet, lurking within his soul was a deeply personal secret. The tragedy of the past began to unfold even as new love was born in the life of Mary, and in the heart of her niece, Lyla. Still, the problem of Jason, the simmering cauldron of family turmoil, and the constant specter of despair threatened to overwhelm her soul. Could Mary find the strength to hold onto her newfound faith? Contemporary/Christian/Fiction
