Checkpoint

by Rod Huron

"Barbed wire fences and uniformed guards with machine guns greeted Gregg and Heather Richards at the border. Would the thousand Bibles hidden in their car be discovered? If not, would these newlyweds be able to get the Bibles safely into the hands of Christian believers? Gregg and Heather smuggle Bibles into a nation where nearly all churches are closed, Christian leaders are jailed, and Bibles are confiscated - a land where an atheistic 'Big Brother' government rules. The country? The Democratic Republic of America, once known as the United States. Fiction, yes -but this unique novel gives a chilling portrayal of the life of the underground church behind a curtain of totalitarian oppression. A 'Brother Andrew' type of story with an unusual twist, it is sure to give you a new feeling for the word freedom."
