About
the Book
Faye is a mother in the AME church.
She has spent 40 years of her life working for the Lord. Chad is a white,
conservative Christian radio talk show host. He enjoys riling up the masses
about issues related to race, gender, class, and politics. Jeremiah is a
popular, Christian tele-evangelist. The charismatic, African American pastor of
a popular mega-church, he is celebrated for his knowledge of scripture. Rosa is
a Hispanic, single mom. An English teacher in the Catholic school she grew up in,
she is a survivor of domestic abuse. So what happens when these four very
different people find themselves trapped in a historical church in North
Philadelphia AFTER THE RAPTURE? More than left behind, the characters in THE
UNLIKELY REMNANT are left to deal with the personal truths and tragic secrets
that led to them missing God; all while wrestling with the prejudices that
inevitably surface in their relationships with each other. Who will press in an
d who will give up their soul forever?

The Unlikely Remnant by Tracey Michae’l Lewis is
thought provoking and so appropriate for our time. Christians know we are
living in the last days, and with the turmoil of weather incidents, racial
profiling, straight out racism and killing, this book is right on time. I’ve
read the Left Behind books a long time ago and The Unlikely Remnant puts its
own spin on the rapture.
The
book details four characters and their views on Christ and God as a whole. Many
of us may not admit it, but we have someone in our family that represents every
one of these characters. Some books are in your face raunchy, The Unlikely
Remnant was in your face but in a Christian kind of way. Some may think I’m
crazy, but with reality shows like The Real Housewives, Love and Hip Hop and
all these other worthless and human demeaning shows, Tracey Michae’l Lewis
should look into making this into a reality show.
This
book is for everyone, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Atheist or anyone.
At the very least, it will create a conversation even for the non-believer. Kudos
to Lewis!
