ALIVE AGAIN: Young adults and siblings, James and Steffanie Wallas, who tragically lost their parents in a train wreck, are struggling to continue with their lives. They are grieving together until something very strange happens in the cemetery where their parents are buried. Steffanie is confronted by a strange being which resembles her deceased mother. James needs absolute proof that their mother has not returned from the dead. The weight of the evidence needed rests upon a cross necklace, the one their mom gave to Steffanie at her baptism. Rejecting faith, she returned it at the funeral to be buried with all of her hopes and dreams. It was this necklace that she saw the being wearing. Now, James must find the explanation that will bring his sister back from the brink of insanity. Rumors leak and their town goes crazy! A police report documents the zombie sighting and the news goes viral. The book uses the metaphor to teach about life, when it is confronted by death. It offers hope in resurrection, one that is spiritual, not physical. A cross necklace, the mystery of resurrection, and one young man's need for answers spin into a whirlwind of controversy that has everyone waiting for the truth to be revealed. Not science fiction or fantasy, it's an emotional story that demonstrates the bravery of true love in the aftermath of tragedy.The Process of Victorious Living: If you have opened your heart to the love of God as one willing to accept His sovereignty, you must trust Christ as your Savior.
