It’s only thirty seconds of quiet inspiration, but no song in the world has transformed lives like “Amazing Grace.” The haunting message of just four simple lines sweeps away theologies and arguments and presents us with heaven’s one singular rescue mission: God’s grace that flows from Calvary. In these cheerful but poignant chapters, Dan and David Smith go line by line through John Newton’s classic gospel message. If grace could rescue him from his sordid, cynical hell of being captain of a slave ship, can it liberate men and women here in the 21st century? Yes, it can!

Russia, 1920: Kolya has deserted his Red Army unit and returns home to bury his brother and reunite with his wife and sons. But he finds the village silent and empty. The men have been massacred in the forest. The women and children have disappeared. In this remote, rural community the folk tales mothers tell their children by candlelight take on powerful significance and the terrifying legend of The Deathless One begins to feel very real. Kolya sets out on a journey through dense, haunting forests and across vast plains as bitter winter sets in, in the desperate hope he will find his family.

When Amma falls gravely ill, Nisha is left to face her formidable grandmother alone.

Can the people of God still hope for an imminent Second Coming of Jesus? Dan and David Smith are cheerful, hope-filled Adventist men with Venden DNA coursing through their souls! Together they posit a larger question: Who cares? When life is decently abundant down here, when a golden retirement looms and vaccines have chased the germs away, do we still urgently want Jesus Christ to come and take us to a faraway destination known mostly for harps and 24/7 prayer meetings?

Most of us who are Christians have an unstated pride in our resumé: it’s actually not bad! We’ve worshiped the Lord for decades and done a lot of good in the world. Okay, sure, we’re thankful for Calvary. But it’s not difficult to imagine hearty applause as we approach the front door of heaven. “You did good! Come right in!”Jesus went to a party where the church’s head elder felt exactly like that. And our Savior told him a quiet story about two men who needed forgiveness.
