All Things New

All Things New is a compendium of fictional eye-witness accounts of the events culminating in and following Armageddon. Interviewees from around the world explain their unique struggles and relate how they passed through the Great Tribulation. Join the writer, Mitch Hanson, as he travels the New World, reporting on the rebuilding efforts of the Organization and the massive tasks involved with the preparation for the Resurrection.====An excerpt from the book:====When the dust had settled and everyone had been accounted for, our Organization began providing us with the details we needed to take our first steps into the New World.Atlanta, the city I had lived in during the decade leading up to Armageddon, was mostly ruins. What hadn’t burned to the ground was hardly fit to live in; and besides, no one was eager to stay in a crumbling city that reeked of death and decay. The suburbs that rubbed shoulders with the city hub, on the other hand, were mostly in livable condition, and many of our friends ‘upgraded’ to these areas, usually moving in with groups (and in some cases whole congregations) of other Witnesses.The passing of the Old World, however, brought a sense of adventure for those who weren’t ready to settle, including many who’d previously been in full time service. Theirs was the idea that The world was so big and so full of possibility, and Why the rush to settle? After all, the Organization had put out a call for volunteers who were willing to travel.For a guy like me, who had always wanted to be a part of the action (but was too busy), this was the perfect opportunity. I had no sales quota to fret over, no family responsibilities, no mortgage on a house I could barely pay for. I was ready to go. The Resurrection was decades off, we’d been told, and I wanted some sort of legacy to pass on to my family when I saw them again.So I grabbed my old hiking backpack from what remained of our attic, stuffed it with a few essentials, and headed to the local recruiting area, a sprawling Wal-Mart parking lot not far from my neighborhood. There were still a dozen or so parked cars in various spaces. Cars from before the Great Day. Cars that would never be driven again.At the far end of the parking lot, next to the Home & Gardening sign, a small throng of volunteers had gathered. Many had already helped themselves to folding cots and camping chairs from inside the store and were sitting in the shade of the carport, waiting. A folding table had been set up in the entrance to the store, with several brothers working busily behind it.At exactly 10 o’clock, one of the brothers, whom I recognized from a nearby congregation, stood up with a bullhorn.“Brothers and sisters, could we please have you attention. In the next few minutes we’ll be going over a few items and if you could all gather around we can answer your questions and get you all signed up.” The bullhorn clicked off and the friends shuffled towards the table...====Reviews & Comments from readers:===="The author portrays element to of life beyond anything I ever considered. This book brought to life the paradise hope in such a realistic way. I feel like I can visualize the New World better and it seems more real, our near future reality!" - Hillary, USA"Loved this book! Great food for thought. Really brought the Paradise to life in an enjoyable and realistic way. Would highly recommend." -Smolz, USA"I truly enjoyed reading this, because it was like going along on the journey of just one of Jehovah's people, seeing myself and wondering what it will really be like.
