“The ark of God has been captured,” he choked on the words.“It’s now in the hands of the Philistines.”Laadan dropped to his knees in the dirt of the city gate, his mind whirling like a wheel. All of this news was overwhelming! The battle with the Philistines had been lost. Hophni and Phineas had been killed as prophesied, and Laadan’s brother, Uzzi, might even be dead. Eli was dead now, too, and even worse the ark of God was gone. Could there be any news worse than this in the world? Without the ark there was no hope for anyone in Israel anymore. It appeared Jehovah had indeed departed from Israel.What would happen now? Would Laadan and his family become Philistine slaves? And what about his friends Iddo, Carmi and Leah? Would he ever see them again? Would the Philistines destroy God’s tabernacle too?Guardians of the Mercy Seat chronicles the adventures of Laadan and his friends as they struggle to know God’s will for Israel—and their own lives—in the tumultuous days leading up to the capture of the ark of the covenant, and the troubled times following its seizure. Would they have the courage to stand for what they believe? No matter what? Would they ever be able to return to Shiloh to worship at the tabernacle? Or had God truly abandoned Israel?

There was no one he knew. No one to care what happened to him. As he tossed and turned trying to fall asleep, his mind would suddenly begin to panic and scream out in protest, How did I get myself into this? A pastor living in Communist Russia, Nickolai Panchuk struggled as a prisoner of the KGB to find his purpose. Persecuted for his Christian faith, Nickolai remained in a Siberian camp for eight years, refusing to sacrifice his faith and suffering the consequences. Harassed, beaten, and dejected, Nickolai found hope in the unlikeliest source: an old ox named Maksim. With the help and strength of God, Nickolai and Maksim worked together to perform a weekly miracle witnessing for Christ in the most disparaging of circumstances and winning souls along the way.

“Do you mean to tell me that you’ve been locking this man up in this crate for two years, and it hasn’t done any good? Did it ever occur to you that there may be a good reason this man isn’t following your orders?”Nickolai Panchuk, a pastor living in Communist Russia, struggled as a prisoner of the KGB to find his purpose. Persecuted for his Christian faith, Nickolai remained in a Siberian camp for 10 years, refusing to sacrifice his faith and suffering the consequences. Harassed, beaten, and dejected, Nickolai found hope in the unlikeliest source: an old ox named Maksim. With the help and strength of God, Nickolai and Maksim worked together to perform a weekly miracle—witnessing for Christ in the most disparaging of circumstances and winning souls along the way.

David glanced across the fire at his oldest brother, Eliab, who was sharpening his sword. Eliab looked like a soldier, with his leather armored vest and his spear stuck into the ground beside him. His jet black eyes looked stern, and his jaw muscles tightened as he gripped his sword in his strong, sinewy hand. As Eliab turned to leave, David jumped to his feet. Eliab? David grinned excitedly. He was almost afraid to ask the question. Do you think I could join the army sometime soon and fight with you and Abinadab and Shammah for the king? You're not old enough to fight, anyway, so you can get that notion out of your head! When you're a grown man, then you can sign up. . . . And besides, if you leave, who will watch the sheep? Come along! The journey is just beginning for the shepherd warrior.

The ark of God has been captured, he choked on the words. It s now in the hands of the Philistines. Laadan dropped to his knees in the dirt of the city gate, his mind whirling like a wheel.

After years of gathering materials and building, preaching and pleading, the doors were shut by an unseen hand. A remarkable account of Noah and his family before, during, and after the flood.“Welcome to the ark!” Noah’s voice thundered across the meadow. My name is Noah, son of Lamech, and grandson of the great patriarch Methuselah. You’re wondering, I’m sure, why we are building a boat in the middle of a field. And why in the world a farmer would spend more than a hundred years building it. Let me tell you why. Long ago, the God of heaven created our world to be a paradise for His children. But the people of earth have rejected God that He might not rule over them. Now their wicked deeds have corrupted the world.”Noah squinted in the bright sunlight. “Little remains to be done of all God has asked me to do, friends! It is almost time for the flood to come, and when it does, you can be on this ark with me and my family, safe from the destruction of the rising waters!”Bradley Booth has crafted a remarkable story of Noah and the end of the antediluvian world. The parallel between the reaction to Noah’s end-time message and that of our own time is startling. Every reader will be struck by the way we of the twenty-first century also think the end is far off and treat God’s messages of warning so carelessly.

What is it like to go away and fight? David wondered. It seems like it should be exciting, but then again, going into battle must be terribly frightening too.David glanced across the fire at his oldest brother, Eliab, who was sharpening his sword. Eliab looked like a soldier, with his leather armored vest and his spear stuck into the ground beside him. His jet black eyes looked stern, and his jaw muscles tightened as he gripped his sword in his strong, sinewy hand. As Eliab turned to leave, David jumped to his feet.“Eliab?” David grinned excitedly. He was almost afraid to ask the question. “Do you think I could join the army sometime soon and fight with you and Abinadab and Shammah for the king?”“You’re not old enough to fight, anyway, so you can get that notion out of your head! When you’re a grown man, then you can sign up. . . . And besides, if you leave, who will watch the sheep?”As far as important jobs go, being a shepherd was just about the bottom of the heap. Most people hated the idea of being a shepherd. Sheep were smelly and stupid and totally unpredictable. But to forsake them? Never. David would rather spend endless days and cold nights caring for the sheep than to risk the life of even one sheep.Come along! The journey is just beginning for the shepherd warrior.

It takes more than daring to be a Daniel.Daniel had heard Prophet Jeremiah speak the word of the Lord. “Behold, I will send for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring him against this land, and against its inhabitants, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a desolation.”Now it had all come true. Yesterday, Daniel had seen the Babylonian soldiers plundering the Temple. This morning he was awakened by shouting in the street outside his family’s apartment. “They want you out front,” his father announced sadly. All of the young men from his apartment complex had been rounded up. A Babylonian scribe was taking names, and Babylonian soldiers were unloading bronze leg and hand irons. Daniel and his friends were now prisoners of war and would be marched in shackles all the way to Babylon.Would they continue to follow the Lord? Could they refuse to eat unclean meat and meat offered to idols and refrain from drinking wine? What about Sabbath-keeping? Could God make a way for them to be faithful to Him? Of course, but they would need to put their trust fully in Him and not in themselves even in the face of death decrees.

A page-turner full of adventure and insight that allows the reader to draw the obvious parallels between Noah's day and days of the end time in which we are living. You will be struck by the way we of the twenty-first century also rationalize our own behavior, and find it more convenient to follow the crowd. The first in a two-book series."As were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man." "Can someone help me out over here?" Noah shouted, gesturing to the crowd in the market place. "These boys are trying to rob me!" With a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach he began to realize that no one was going to come to his aid. No one cared. . . . This is ridiculous, Noah thought. Two striplings want to rob me in the street, and no one has the decency to come to my aid. What’s this world coming to? . . . Bradley Booth has crafted a remarkable story of Noah and the antediluvian world. The parallels between their excesses and violence and those of our own time are startling. Every reader of this book will be struck by the way we of the twenty-first century also rationalize our own behavior, and how often we find it more convenient to "go with the crowd."

Against all odds, each of these witnesses placed their trust in God and demonstrated unbroken commitment to their faith—no matter what the cost.
