Determining Factor

Decades of bad decisions and general passivity brought the world to the brink of annihilation. Feeling hopeless, mankind grasped at the lifeline that was extended to them. Despotic government rule ensued and took away the burden of free will and replaced it with something more manageable.
Now, decades later, the government controlled almost every aspect of everyone's lives. However, all their provision, protection, and peacekeeping came with a heavy price. The new system had very strict rules about how a citizen should behave. One mistake, one deviation from the norm, and you were out.
Jake Walker experienced firsthand the horrors that the government was capable of. And because of his "crimes," he had been called to stand in judgment before the committee. This was something that every man, woman, and child feared . . . a fear that had been nurtured inside them by the government ever since they were old enough to understand what it meant to die.
Through faith, Jake finds that it really isn't the end. God has a plan for his life, and what the world had intended for his destruction, God uses for his good.
