Mourn at the woeful story of Adam and Eve’s fall to Satan in the Garden of Eden and how their tragic downfall destroyed God’s perfect new creation of planet Earth. Trace the lineage of God’s faithful followers with the stories of Abel, Enoch, and Noah as you read about the Flood and the Tower of Babel. Discover the establishment of the Israelite nation through the lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Israel’s dramatic rescue from Egypt through Moses, God’s servant leader. Lastly, enjoy the highs and lows of the exploits of David, Israel’s greatest king. 1TC 6.3

As you read The Attack, we pray you will discover God’s divine plan for your life. He created a rescue plan for us before sin ever began. He promised to send His son to die in our place to pay the price for sin. The entire narrative contrasts God’s love and mercy with Satan’s scheme to destroy all of God’s creation. The frailty of human life reveals our desperate need for our heavenly Savior. Will you accept God’s plan of redemption? Will you be a partaker of His ultimate victory over evil? We hope you will both enjoy and learn from this immersive new experience as you read the five life-changing episodes of The Conflict. 1TC 7.1
