Genesis - On just another Sunday, a man joins a group of friends for a golf game. A working mother, trying to balance career and home, skips weekly services. An internet junkie scours the web looking for comforting news but finds only unrest. Ordinary people who live their lives in an unsettled time, like most, are too overwhelmed by their own concerns to register the groundswell of changes taking place everywhere—until the instant when millions around the world disappear. Immediately, life after the Rapture becomes a chaotic battle for survival. Into the void steps Azul Dante, the charismatic leader of the Prodigal Project. He shines a light in the darkness of the End Times, his new world order representing a return to the promised land of the past. And in the beginning, seven hopeful men and women set out separately to find salvation in the Prodigal Project. Instead, they initiate a series of personal trials that will ultimately prove to be the sternest test of their souls…
Exodus - In the twinkling of an eye, their lives changed forever. Husbands, wives, children, all lost in what was first called “the disappearance.” Now many understand that with millions of Christians called home, the Rapture has irrevocably torn the fabric of their lives. They wander, rootless and searching, in the wake of events nearly too powerful, too overwhelming to comprehend. Some set out on a personal odyssey to reconnect with family, their past, with some semblance of order in a world menaced by the Muslim mujahideen. Offering hope, Azul Dante and his Prodigal Project remain a beacon in the swirling maelstrom of uncertainty that threatens to engulf nations, ideologies, and faiths. While on quiet street corners, in darkened homes, abandoned offices, wherever two or more are gathered, a small band of believers begins again to spread the Word.
Numbers - Special Agent John Jameson has been assigned a daunting task—to take out the vicious leader of the militant Islamic mujahideen that has been menacing the world in the wake of the Rapture. Caught between his duty to country and his newfound faith, Jameson has learned a terrible secret. Desperate to relay this information to the highest levels of the American government, Jameson enlists the aid of journalist Cat Early. Caught up in chaotic events that neither could have ever imagined, the pair struggle to have their voices heard in the tumult of a world on the brink of catastrophic global warfare. Only one man seemingly holds the power to bring peace—the charismatic world leader Azul Dante. Global in scope yet powerfully focused on the lives of seven individuals struggling with issues of faith and allegiance to their country, Numbers, the third book of the Prodigal Project series, proves once again that: God can use even the most broken of vessels.
Kings - Based on a Biblical interpretation of the Rapture, Kings continues the story of those caught up in the events following this world-upending event. Azul Dante, the increasingly controversial figure whom some nations hope will restore order to the world, recovers from a recent assassination attempt. Behind the scenes, another and even more sinister force exerts its powerful influence at a gathering of ten world leaders. While they meet, other events prefiguring the start of the last days have armies poised for battle. Meanwhile, the members of the seven set out to spread the good news of Christianity and salvation in a world desperate for answers and assurance.
What we know about The Rapture and what is actually going to happen seem to be two totally different things. Authors like Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim Lahaye are world famous for their Left Behind series, which is filled with so many theories on what will happen to those who don’t believe in God and what the Bible teaches. And that is exactly what authors Ken Abraham and Daniel Hart dig into as well. But instead of putting us in the perspective of a confused airline pilot , Abraham and Hart take a different approach. They kind of played with the idea of: what if there was this organization called, The Prodigal Project, that gave those who remained on Earth some sort of “hope.” But the interesting thing about that storyline is, how can these characters gain any real hope without Jesus? And that makes me wonder what the leader of The Prodigal Project, Azul Dante, is really planning to gain by the giving the world false hope. In reality though, we also have an enemy who loves giving us false hope too. And he will stop at nothing to make sure that God’s people are distracted from where God wants them to be. But we can’t let that happen, because the hope we have in Jesus is so much more amazing than any kind of false hope that the devil tries to give us.
