End of the World (The Last Days, Volume1)

Behold, he comes as a thief in the night

Steven Christopher once again accepts an important call from the LDS prophet, and he and his wife, Mary, become eyewitnesses to the momentous events of the world hurling toward its final destiny. Their faith in God is tested to the utmost when they are faced with extreme uncertainty and the possibility of great personal loss.

Gerald Galloway, the tyrannical leader of UGOT, orders his mighty coalition armies to mobilize and advance on Israel, with instructions to wreak destruction and bloodshed against all the Jewish and Christian communities they encounter as they move toward the land of Palestine. His primary goals are to destroy the Jews he hates so much and to rule the earth by means of his Satan-inspired government.

The decent and freedom-loving people of several countries refuse to support UGOT in its evil designs and they risk their lives to travel under perilous circumstances to fight in behalf of Israel in the greatest war in human history—Armageddon. But as scripture foretells, the Lord will not abandon his people in the terrible war against Gog and Magog.

End of the World, the fourth and final novel in the Last Days series, brings to life the scriptural prophecies concerning the final scenes of the earth’s history and how these pivotal events might effect the people of Israel, their Arab neighbors, and the saints of New Zion. Kenneth R. Tarr’s in-depth research makes this novel, which includes a depiction of the Second Coming, the resurrection, and life during the Millennium, not only thoroughly engrossing but realistic according to LDS doctrine.

Kenneth R. Tarr taught French language and literature at Brigham Young University for fourteen years, and French and Spanish for three years at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. He received a master's degree in French and Spanish at Brigham Young in 1965, and a doctorate in French at Kansas University in 1973, with a minor in Medieval history.

Kenneth was born and raised in southern California and has been a member of the LDS church all his life, serving in many capacities. He and his wife, Kathy, have been married fifty-one years and have eight children and twenty-seven grandchildren. Currently they live in Utah where they own and operate an herb store. Kenneth enjoys writing, exercising, doing repairs, and listening to good music.
