The Remnant

When the Bible is outlawed and the devout forced underground, a tattered page with just a scrap of the Sermon on the Mount serves as a touchstone for a faithful few on the run. Fast-paced and chilling, The Remnant (CWR Press) is by award-winning author Monte Wolverton. It's a physical and spiritual expedition through a dystopian world, ultimately offering hope in these perplexing and challenging times. In the year 2069 the Apocalypse came and went, but Jesus didn't show up. Instead, a cataclysmic war left a totalitarian government ruling the world, and it bans all forms of religion. Those who insist on practicing religion are imprisoned in work camps around the world. An inmate in a North Dakota work camp, Grant Cochrin, hears rumors of isolated Christian communities in the lawless Wilderness. Escaping with his family and friends, he begins a quest. During their long, dangerous journey, the Cochrins and their friends encounter a series of bizarre religious communities, but none of them seem right. Just as they are ready to abort their quest and start their own settlement, they are ambushed by a gang of human traffickers, and faced with an unthinkable dilemma. Monte Wolverton is an award-winning author and syndicated editorial cartoonist and an associate editor of CWR magazine. He is an ordained minister and holds a MA from Goddard College in Vermont. Along with his wife Kaye, he makes his home in southwest Washington State.
