Book Three in the Fire of Heaven Trilogy Suspense aficionados need to keep their calendars wide open for the release of Fire of Heaven--because once they start reading Bill Myers's thrilling story of Revelation's two witnesses, they won't be putting it down! In this third installment of his trilogy, Myers connects plot threads and characters from his previous best-sellers Blood of Heaven and Threshold, weaving an enthralling new story. Newlyweds Sarah Weintraub and Brandon Martus (Threshold), convinced they are the two end-times prophets mentioned in Revelation, establish a new clinic to facilitate Brandon's healing ministry. As a married couple, however, they are experiencing anything but wedded bliss. Brandon begins to misuse his powers, and Sarah is lured away from her new husband as she travels to Nepal to help little Eric, infected with the mysterious Jesus blood (Blood of Heaven). As Brandon visits each of the seven churches in Revelation, he prepares himself for an inevitable clash with Lucas Ponte, the political leader of the entire world. Fire of Heaven is more than the story of Sarah and Brandon--it's an allegory of the Bridegroom's love for his bride. In a stunning finale, the lovers are reunited to combat evil, joined in heart and purpose by a fresh understanding of God's boundless, burning love for the world. "My words will become a fire in your mouth that you cannot contain. They will burn until you have warned my Bride. Warn her before it is too late!" So begins a dramatic journey into holiness, as newlyweds Brandon and Sarah Martus accept the call to become Revelation's two prophets. This is not another end-times thriller, but one of the most intense and thought-provoking pieces of Christian fiction to come along in years. As the couple prepare for the final showdown against Satan himself, they must live and proclaim the truths Christ has given his end-times church. From America, to archaeological ruins dating back to Bible times, to the Himalayas, and finally to Jerusalem, Brandon and Sarah battle the forces of man and hell while learning the true cost of following Christ . . . and experiencing a Love far deeper than either could have imagined. Author Bill Myers says, "Writing this book has changed my life." Reading it could very well change yours.
