Paradise Earth: Day Zero
When the ground quakes and blazing balls of fire fall from the sky, a religious sect interprets it as the fulfillment of long-held prophecies foretelling the end of the world. The members flee to their religious sanctuary, believing that this global cataclysm is the portent of a new paradise of eternal happiness.
Inside, one cold and starving man struggles to hold onto his hope for the future and grapples with a lifetime of beliefs, and expectations.
If he survives to see the paradise earth, will it be worth it?
Happiness: How to Find It
Rose Gluck thought she had everything in life. Just out of high school, she spent her days working as a pioneer minister of her Jehovah’s Witness faith, going door-to-door teaching others about the Bible and the happifying future God had planned.
She thought she knew what it meant to be happy, but things would change when Wyatt True, a recent graduate of the Ministerial Training School came to help her small country congregation.
Rose must now risk losing everything and everyone to be with the man of her dreams. Love is never easy, but it can be particularly challenging when you are a part of high control religion. Will Rose find eternal happiness?
