In the rambling countryside of Australia's Barossa Valley in 1951, old-school Lutheran William Miller is living with a shocking secret. His intense Bible studies have revealed to him what no other scholars have been able to discover—the exact date of the Apocalypse. Armed with the secret of the prophecy, a group of followers join William to help deliver the news and prepare for the end. Yet as the seasons pass in the valley and the final day approaches, the faith of the locals is put to the test. Was it truly the voice of God that spoke to William on the Hill of Grace or is he simply deluded? This thought-provoking novel is inspired by the true story of one of the founders of the Seventh Day Adventist movement.

Hannah Whitall Smith knew firsthand the world's darkness and grief-but she was confident that "somewhere and somehow God [was] going to make everything right for all the creatures He has created." Her writings have often been censored to remove the more "heretical" portions, but her only heresy is her belief in Divine love, a love stronger than any obstacle. As a mother, she knew how much she loved her children-and she could not believe that God's love could be weaker than her own. "I began to see that the wideness of God's love was far beyond any wideness that I could even conceive of. . . if I took all the unselfish love of every mother's heart the whole world over, and piled it all together, and multiplied it by millions, I would still only get a faint idea of . . . the mother-heart of God." -Hannah Whitall Smith
A rare glimpse not only into the life of a professional wrestler, but the life of a gay man in a straight world, this tragic memoir is told in Chris Kanyon’s own words, with the help of journalist Ryan Clark. One of the most popular wrestlers of the late 1990s, Kanyon kept his personal life private from his fans until finally revealing his biggest secret in 2004: he was gay.

In his voice and the way he wanted it told, these are Kanyon’s last words about his experience rising through the ranks to the top of the professional wrestling world while keeping his sexuality hidden.
