Would you be ready?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would you do if the world as you knew it came to a standstill, and what we currently find valuable in our culture no longer had worth? The smartphone in your hand wouldn\u2019t be able to reach into the void of cyberspace, connecting you to loved ones to find out if they were okay or even alive. Money would merely be the physical elements of paper, plastic, or metal\u2014no longer exchangeable for anything you needed. And the only way to get from one place to another would be on foot or by animal, if any were left\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In The Divide<\/em><\/a>, the gripping conclusion to The Alliance<\/em><\/a> by bestselling author Jolina Petersheim<\/a>, nearly six months have passed since Leora Ebersole\u2019s Old Order Mennonite community fled to the mountains for refuge after an attack destroyed the power grid and altered life as they knew it. But when long-held beliefs are once again put to the test, Leora wrestles with the divide between having faith and taking action. Just how much will her shifting landscape change her?<\/p>\n

Though Leora\u2019s Mennonite community is used to living off the land, the world-altering effects of the attack have led to a grim reality for the Englischers<\/em> as the deterioration of modern society poses a threat to their survival. And so you have to wonder\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. would you be ready?<\/p>\n

While there are many scary realities to face in The Divide<\/em><\/a>, this story is a reminder that though we often surround ourselves with busyness, it is through fellowship and God\u2019s Word that we are sustained even through the harshest of times.<\/p>\n
