Dear Reader,
Thank you for considering this exciting new work by Shane Johnson. We are pleased to publish The Last Guardian and believe you will find it to be a unique contribution to the world of Christian fiction.
Shane has carefully woven scriptural truth into this creative exploration of God’s plan to redeem humanity. We weighed the more graphic passages of The Last Guardian very carefully, not wanting to permit any gratuitous scenes. Although certain events in this novel are shocking, we hope you will see that Shane’s purposeful inclusion of them is undeniable. By exposing mankind’s utter depravity, God’s love, mercy, and grace are revealed to be that much more clearly astounding, as they truly are.
We, along with Shane, wish to emphasize that the dominant themes of this story are life and salvation. I encourage you to step behind the scenes with Shane by reading both the Author’s Note and the Afterword. These are in themselves captivating evidence of God’s redemptive hand at work in our daily lives.
Sincerely,
Dan Rich
Publisher
