What started the Chaos in the Blink of an Eye series stems from my deep love of sports, which, I admit, has diminished considerably over the years.

 Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy watching the games on TV, and even attending sporting events when I have the time. But these days I view them from an entirely different perspective, than when I wore a younger man’s face and displayed a weaker man’s faith in God. 

This slow but gradual shrinking away started back in 1991, after I got saved. The Lord impressed upon my heart, at that time, that the fastest growing religion in America, and the world for that matter, wasn’t Christianity nor Islam, it was “sports”.

Every day of the week—including Sundays—millions of fans fill stadiums and arenas (or shall I say cathedrals?) planetwide, to worship their heroes, as if they were gods. When their teams win, life is good. When they lose, life is miserable. As a once-guilty fanatical participant myself, for many years, I should know.

As a dedicated Christ follower, I now believe the passion most fans have for their favorite players and sports teams, is the same passion we should all have in pursuing the One who saw our unformed bodies from the foundations of the world, the very One who knit us together inside our mothers’ wombs. 

Tragically, this is not the case. Hence, the reason for the CHAOS series.

The sporting event I chose for the story was the famed Michigan-Ohio State college football rivalry.

Prior to writing the prequel, I traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to attend the game. I confess that I was just as caught up in the mass hysteria as everyone else that day. It was impossible not to be swept up into the vortex that had completely engulfed the vibrant college town. 

The energy was so palpable that I had to keep reminding myself that I was there to research and observe everything connected to the game, so I could bring it all to life for my readers.

In short, the game itself needed to always remain on the backburners of my mind and heart.

Though the prequel centers on the football game, this is not a “sports” series. This will become quite clear to you when Bible prophecy comes to pass inside Michigan Stadium, and life is forever changed for all of humanity, in the blink of an eye...  

The chaotic aftermath that ensues was recorded in the Word of God more than 2,000 years ago…  

With that in mind, it is my sincere hope that you will enjoy reading this series...
