Bibliography

About the Author

I am eternally grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him in my life, along with His amazing guidance, this allegory would not have come to fruition, and so it must be dedicated to Him above all. With my whole heart, I believe He has called me, For such a time as this (Esther 4:14c). As well, I dedicate this story to all those who choose to believe it; they need to understand that we are called to witness the most exciting time in history, second to Jesus's first coming, but soon to be the last! Lastly, I want to give thanks to God for my incredible husband and best friend, Frederick. In 1999, I only possessed a GED. When I met Professor Frederick Kirkby, he invited me to go to college, and the rest is history! What an amazing journey, and now that we are on the thresholds of destination euphoria, the best is yet to come!

The repeated thought had occurred to her more than once in those last couple of daydreamy spring months. What if it really were possible, somehow, for one to change worldwide events, especially evil events throughout all of life's history, and make it so these reprehensible acts might never happen to begin with? Imagine a world where there is nothing that dies and where minds are not corrupted by greed and hatred! But little did Emerald know this fantasy was, by the moment, fast to become a reality as a palpable prospect in her already wildest of imaginations. Not long after imagining this magical moment of "a
