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

I'm making this page about my unique purposeful sci-fi (time travel) novel because 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 truly 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, A Tale of Times and Truth" is about some future scientists who decide to put an end to evil by traveling back to the beginning and warning 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 "IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY" 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 Gospel -- The California gold rush
Chapter 6:Deism and Faith -- Colonial America
Chapter 7: Tribulation and Patience--start of the future tribulation (of Revelation 6)
Chapter 8 Humanism and Hope -- Leonardo Da Vince

HOW TO GIVE MY NOVELS AS GIFTS:

Purchase the book directly from the publisher (See above) OR to give an e-copy, find it on smashwords.com and follow these instructions:
"Click the 'Give as a gift' link from any book page.
Enter the name of your giftee and their e-mail address. Very important you enter the correct e-mail address otherwise they won't receive it. Alternatively, if you would like the gift to be a surprise, enter your own e-mail address. If you're using this option and you want to give the same book to several different people, make sure that you click "Give as a gift" once for each giftee (don't increase the quantity, because then you will be giving multiple copies to one person, which is probably not what you want).
Once you complete the purchase of the gift, we'll send an immediate e-mail to the recipient, providing them instructions on how to redeem the gift (you will get a copy of the e-mail too). If you entered your own e-mail address in step 2, you will get the e-mail and you will need to forward it or print it out and hand deliver it to your recipient. The gift code (contained in the hyperlink in the e-mail) will whoever uses it pick up this gift, so keep it a secret (except from your giftee, of course). The gift e-mail will look like the sample below. Note that we will not share your e-mail address with the giftee, only your name as listed in your Smashwords profile.
When your giftee gets the e-mail, your gift recipient will simply click the hyperlink in the message (which contains the gift code) and their book will become instantly available if they're already registered for Smashwords. If they're not yet a Smashwords member, or they're not logged in to their account, we'll prompt them to join (it's free) or log in. After they register, the book is waiting for them in their Library."
NOTE: You will have to join Smashwords, but that's no big deal (You don't have to be an author. There are benefits for joining as a reader). Just fill out a simple short registration form (When you click on "Give as a gift" it will tell you that you have to logged in and will show the log-in form and immediately below it the registration form.

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.

Acknowledgements

My friend , my God and my dear wife

I want to thank my friend, Daniel Lipscome, who first gave me the (very) basic idea to write a novel like this.
I also want to thank my God, who helped me to see the possibility and run with it and showed me the time periods, their lessons and how to put the whole thing together
Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my dear wife, Berenice, who encouraged me, stood by me all the way, and kept me sane in the process.
