Flight in Winter I - The Unexpected

by Rod Ellis

Paul was a prepper long before being a prepper was socially acceptable. In fact, he had been preparing long before there was even a label for it. He went to great lengths to make sure his family was ready for almost any major disaster or emergency but no one could have possibly prepared for the unexpected, all-encompassing, life-changing series of events that was unleashed upon their lives. Flight in Winter is the story of one family's journey through perilous times. Some would call it the Great Tribulation while others would define it as a societal collapse. Join them as they leverage their collective strengths and overcome their haunting weaknesses to endure, adapt and overcome. See how long their love, faith and hope can endure when stretched beyond imaginable limits. In this life, some may be forced to endure the unimaginable, but for how long? Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day. The Unexpected is the first in the Flight in Winter Trilogy Here is a riddle to help you understand the The first the second the third and then the first again to reach the end. Buckle up, my friends. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
