Off The Face Of The Earth — Robert T. Jeschonek

Where do all the missing children go?  The answer could be more incredible than you can imagine.  When a little boy disappears off the face of the Earth, his good-for-nothing father turns over a new leaf and sets out to track him down…but it takes a strange visitor from the future to point him in the right direction.  Has the little boy been swept into a horrifying hell on Earth, or is he bound for a miraculous world beyond forever?  His fate reveals a glorious destiny for the missing, one that rests on the shoulders of the boy's father.  Can this man, plagued by his own dark demons and addictions, find redemption -- and perhaps secure the future of all mankind -- by making the ultimate sacrifice?
