Alfred Ben Bacon, born in July 1953 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, has lived a life rich in family, resilience, and adventure. At the tender age of five, his family relocated to Farmington, New Mexico. After nearly fourteen years, he joined the US Navy in 1972 and married his first wife, Connie, in 1973. They shared 24 years of primarily military life, living in twenty-six states and several countries. His life took another turn when he met his second wife, Doreen, and after nearly eighteen years of marriage, he became a widower in 2017. He now resides in Colorado with his partner, Sandra.

The Coming is a paradoxically charming yet thrilling tale that will be particularly engaging to Christian readers but will also appeal to those who like a familiar story with a nice modern twist.
