Apostasy Rising Episode 4 — J.A. Bouma

The Church's Future Is History.

Not since the blockbuster Left Behind series has a story captured the heart of the Church's mission in these last days -- offering a unique, page-turning adventure that not only entertains through thrilling action and mysterious suspense, but captures the urgency of our own day and inspires for the journey of faith by spanning the spectrum of time.

The year is 2123. The citizens of the world have united. Peace, prosperity, and progress reign supreme. Rising apostasy threatens to consume Ichthus, the last remnant of Christianity. And the Church's most chaotic hour since the Protestant Reformation is about to dawn.

Standing at the center is a broken parish priest whose faith in the future of the Church is beginning to fray. When news breaks of Christian leaders dismantling the faith, he receives a mysterious visitor bearing an urgent request from a former mentor that turns his world upside down. What's more: An old friend makes history discovering what may be the Church's only hope -- time travel.

Soon it's clear an old enemy of Ichthus has risen from the shadows to once again bring the Church to her knees. And the stakes are ratcheted even higher for the future survival of the Church when Solterra Republic makes its true intentions known and felt across the world -- activating a band of faithful followers drawn from across the global Church who put it all on the line to help fight for the Church and safeguard her future.

Will the future Church survive forces threatening her from inside and out? Will Ichthus retrieve from history what it needs to survive the future? And will ordinary believers rise to do the impossible when the Church needs them most?

Season 1 of Ichthus Chronicles launches an explosively inventive series that recasts the Christian struggle in a future world rife with social and religious challenges combined with technological and political change that feels close to home -- inviting readers to experience the sacrifices and struggles to persevere unto victory in the face of hostile forces, both in the future and the past.
