Book Cover & Preview Text
There is coming a day when Christ will return to the Earth and reign for 1,000 years. I wrote the book in the form of a novel instead of a theological treatise. I believe the story is intriguing, suspenseful, and uplifting to anyone regardless of their religious beliefs. This novel is the 'Second Greatest Story Ever Told'. The greatest story ever told was that Christ came to earth, lived a life, died on a cross, was buried, and resurrected on the 3rd day. His promise was that he would return one day and rule for 1,000 years. So.. The Reign tells the story of a family living during the predicted 7 year Tribulation period. The family's Patriarch is John Cruz. He leads his family faithfully through this period by refusing to take 'The Mark' and figures out creative ways to supply food for his family and combat the 'Acolytes' who are the Anti-Christ's worldwide police force. The book will take you through this Tribulation period and will describe what happens on the day that Christ returns.

About the Author
I was born in Clover Bottom, Kentucky.. the heart of Appalachia. My grand father was a Baptist preacher. My father and his brothers and sisters were gospel singers. Together, they traveled around the hills of Kentucky preaching and singing. I am a natural skeptic. I used to listen to all the Bible stories and wondered about the factual basis for these stories. At the age of 23, I went to Bible College for 3 years to learn if there was scholarship behind the Bible stories. From a skeptics point of view, I was interested in history, reliability of the Scriptures, extra biblical proof, and an exegetical understanding. I concluded the Bible is true. If the historical stories are true, then what about future predictions? The ultimate future prediction is that Christ will return to earth and establish 1,000 Reign. ‘The Reign’ is that story.
I would like to give thanks and special credit to my brother, Harold Lunsford, for providing me historical information and expanding the story of John Cruz’ early life in the 1950’s.
