Why I'm writing about my unique purposeful sci-fi (time travel) novel

I'm making this page about my unique puposeful sci-fi (time travel) novel becuase I feel that even with all of the many sci-fi novels which have been published and even all of the time travel novels, mine is truely unique for several reasons which I explain in the module "My Unique purposeful sci-fi (time travel) novel" below.

I'm the author of... 

my 2 unique purposeful novels

The uniquely purposeful Sci-fi (time travel) novel: "IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY, A Tale of Times And Truth."

I'm also the author of the unique historical (Biblical) novel, "OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM, A Novel of Biblical Times."

My Unique Purposeful Sci-fi (Time Travel) Novel 

"IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY" is about some future scientists who decide to put an end to evil by traveling back to the beginnig and wariing eve about the fall, but they can only go so far at a time and thus end up visiting 6 different historical periods, plus, at one point, getting pulled forward to their own future.
I feel it is unique first because it plainly and clearly presents the gospel of Jesus Christ as the answer to the problem of evil in the world, and secondly because it points out the spiritual lessons (pointing to this main truth) to be gleaned from various periods of history.

By way of illustrating that second point, let me list the chapter titles (from Chapter 5 on) along with the time periods they represent.

Chapter 5: Gold and Gosple -- The California gold rush
Chapter 6:Diesm and Faith -- Colonial America
Chaoter 7: Tribulation and Patience--start of the future tribulation (of Revelation 6)
Chapter 8 Humanism and Hope -- Leonardo Da Vince

My writing process 

How I came to write my unique purposeful sci-fi (time travel) novel

I was given the basic idea for this novel from a Christian friend while I was still working on my first novel. He made the suggestion about the future (non-Christian)scientists trying to put an end to evil by going back and preventing the fall. I added the rub that they could only go so far at a time and I added all of the time periods at which they would stop for the spiritual lessons they could learn from them, if they only would.
I made up the characters from different races who would be at the World Scientific Society.
The first three chapters were necessary to set the tone. They are about how the idea came up, how it was planned out, how it was financed and finally developed. Then came the actual time travel. Much of the historical chapters read like historical fiction once you get past the obvious sci-fi elements of the landing, communicating through time and fixing the ship. The idea of them being pulled to their future (which would be the start of the tribulation period) came while I was writing.
