One day I was walking through Goodwill and came across a book that caused me to do a doubletake.  It was a prepper fiction book put out by Zondervan – a Christian publishing house.  I did a doubletake.  I purchased the book and read it through.  It was wonderful.  It dealt with topics honestly, but in a way that wasn’t explicit.  It was a wonderful series, and – tada!  It’s also in Audiobook format!
