by JamesSmythe (Author)
A global thriller presenting an apocalyptic vision of a world on the brink of despair and destruction.
What would you do if the world was brought to a standstill? If you heard deafening static followed by the words, `My children. Do not be afraid'?
Would you turn to God? Subscribe to the conspiracy theories? Or put your faith in science and a rational explanation?
The lives of all twenty-six people in this account are affected by the message. Most because they heard it. Some because they didn't.
The Testimony - a gripping story of the world brought to its knees and of its people, confused and afraid.
