After a shocking presidential assassination in the early 2030s, this second installment of the Tribulation Cult series continues to follow the lives of four former college friends. Their divergent life paths take two of their number to the very summit of world politics.

As the nation continues to split along liberal and conservative lines, the future of Christianity in America becomes increasingly divisive. The role of the church in that divide centers around the question whether serious Christians actually represent a dangerous cult, and should be ostracized from mainstream society and politics. The book builds to a mid-century cultural clash between worldviews, climaxing with the pivotal election of 2048.
