30 Days to Redemption

The books begins when Lissy awakes from a restful sleep. Her children, Natalie and Nathaniel kiss her good-bye and leave for their first day back to college. Her husband, Glen, leaves for work right behind them. She continues on with her morning routine before she heads out to work as a nurse at their local hospital.

Lissy receives a disturbing phone call from her best friend, Carmen. Carmen tries to warn Lissy that meteors are headed straight for them. Their phone call is cut short. The power goes out.

Lissy races to get her children before the first meteor strikes. She catches up to Natalie and Nate. They attempt to take cover in an open field. A meteor strikes in close proximity to them; then another, then another. The impact causes an earthquake. The earth underneath them opens up and swallows them alive.

When they hit the bottom of the pit, Lissy inspects her surroundings with her kids firmly in tow. After crawling around in the dark for what seems to be an eternity, Lissy discovers a penlight in her pants pocket attached to her key chain. She clicks it on. They all crawl along in a very narrow passageway on their bellies until they find an opening to an elaborate cave system.

After much exploration, all three fall asleep. They are trapped, buried alive.

After a few minutes of unrestful sleep, Lissy awakens and stumbles towards a troubling light. It is an angel. He confronts Lissy and tells her that everything she had experienced that day will come to pass in 30 days, if America does not repent. Her dream was a prophetic warning.

Everything Lissy had just experienced was a dream. Disbelief rolled off her shoulders. She was dreaming that she was dreaming.

The angel carves a 30 into the meat of Lissy’s arm as a sober reminder that her time is short. God means to destroy America for their backsliding ways. If America does not repent as a nation, America will fall.

Lissy is predestined for a calling; one she didn’t ask for or want for that matter. The weight of America’s fate rested heavily on Lissy’s shoulders. If she failed, America would be destroyed. Time is ticking. She only has 30 days to wake America up to the danger. She has no connections, no plan, little money and no time.

Lissy will face multiple trials and road blocks. Every effort to warn Americans that God’s judgment is about to be rendered upon their very heads, will be thwarted. She will be violently assaulted, thrown in jail, mocked and rejected.

Lissy will second guess her calling by God. Was her dream just a product of her over-active imagination? What if it was only a dream? What if it wasn’t? She will question her own sanity.

No matter the outcome, her marriage to the one and only love in her life, Glen, will hang in the balance and she has to choose. Lissy will lose friends, family and her spotless reputation as a nurse in a prestigious hospital.

It is an enormous price to pay for a dream she is uncertain will ever come to pass. What are her options? If she does nothing and God destroys America, blood will be on her hands and worse; she might be denied access to heaven. If she agrees to be interviewed on national television and other media outlets to warn Americans, she will lose everything. She is sure to be a laughing stock, the butt of all jokes told around every American’s dinner table.

The countdown has begun. Will she be able to stop the judgment befalling America? Will they believe her? Does she believe it herself? Can this really be happening to her? To her beloved country? Lissy must focus. God has given her 30 days to convince Americans to repent and turn back to Him. She will do whatever it takes to save America. She has to warn them. She will warn them, no matter what the cost.

The real question remains. How will America respond?
