However small his life seems, from a different perspective Billy’s song reaches far beyond the hills and hollers he calls home. Malachi is an angel sent to observe Billy. Though it is not his dream assignment, Malachi follows the man and begins to see the bigger picture of how each painful step Billy takes is a note added to a beautiful symphony that will forever change the lives of those who hear it.

Left Behind-The Kids #6 The Underground, which Chris helped write, tells the story of the kids who are left behind and takes the next step in showing their faith as they release an underground newspaper at Nicolae High. Chris develops themes in these books also found throughout his other writings, including that we must be bold about our faith and use that faith to work through ethical dilemmas.

Chris and his wife, Andrea, are the parents of seven children and make their home in Bolingbrook, Illinois. While Chris has enjoyed careers at the Moody Bible Institute and in Christian radio, he believes his career as a husband and father is the real evidence of God's grace in his life.
