About the book

What would happen in the first hour after an event so extraordinary that the entire world is left searching for answers?

In First Hour, Larry Arrowood takes readers on a gripping, globe-spanning journey through the first sixty minutes following an unexplained event that forever changes human history.

It begins like any other day. Then, without warning, people disappear. In Christchurch, New Zealand, the first reports begin to surface. As the event unfolds across nations and time zones, confusion spreads. Empty beds. Abandoned vehicles. Missing loved ones. Frantic emergency calls. Governments scrambling for explanations. News organizations struggling to make sense of the impossible.

What first looks like a series of isolated incidents quickly becomes a worldwide crisis. And as the minutes pass, one extraordinary possibility emerges: the answers may have been written thousands of years ago in biblical prophecy.

Sixty minutes that change everything

Told through the experiences of ordinary people in different countries, cultures and circumstances, First Hour explores the fear, uncertainty, heartbreak and dawning realization that follow an event no one can adequately explain. Science cannot immediately provide answers. Political leaders cannot restore order. And for millions of people, the most important question is no longer simply what happened, but why.

For some, the emerging truth is terrifying. For others, it is something they had heard about all their lives but never truly believed they would witness.

When prophecy becomes reality

Blending suspense with the themes of Christian eschatology, First Hour is more than a thriller. It is an invitation to consider the meaning of biblical prophecy, and the importance of spiritual readiness, when the familiar world is shaken. Ideal for readers of Christian end-times fiction and prophetic suspense.
