Truth and Debris
In 1968 the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. The Prague Spring, with an opening of minds and actions, was suppressed by an authoritarian regime. In Truth and Debris, a Czech psychologist escapes from suppressed Czechoslovakia and becomes a psychologist in a Canadian school. After years of work in Canada she uses recollections of her work with children, and her own childhood memories, to dig for the few shining truths in the twisted debris of her past. Can we all imagine truths lifted from the debris of the Czech invasion being of value during the current invasion of the Ukraine? Are values, deeply hidden below debris, important for our current, general, concern for a few foundational, shining and shared, truths?

Unveiling the End Time Prophecy
The green-pass certificate which is the consequence of the present worldwide pandemic COVID-19, was introduced in most nations for accesses to public places and transports.
Without the GREEN PASS, accesses to flights, hospitals and schools are denied in some nations; a kind of reality in the period of Tribulation to come after the rapture of the saints.
During the period of Tribulation, the famously known 666 number will be introduced and enforced on the people, and whoever will not comply is denied transactions.
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666”.
Revelation 13:16-18
The GREEN-PASS certificate of the present worldwide pandemic COVID-19, is liken to the mark of the beast to be imposed in the period of Tribulation; and so a believer who escapes the rapture will most likely escape Heaven in the Tribulation period to come…
This book is targeted to enrich individuals and ministries in the knowledge of the LATTER DAYS.
