Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
A
Prophet’s Tale recounts the life story of Hank Crandall, an orphan
raised by a kind woman he thought of as his mother in every way. Hank
begins a Christian school during the years prior to the Tribulation, when
Christians are already objects of ridicule, persecution, and contempt, as they
are even now. Over a period of years, a Christian community grows up
around the school, and the valley it stands in becomes a sanctuary. At one
point in his career, Hank is arrested on trumped-up charges of child
molestation, then turned over to a Satanic cult which tries, with some success,
to brainwash him. He is rescued by some of his old friends from
Misty Valley, the place where he was raised and where he raised up the school.
Afraid he would be arrested again, he and Emily went to stay with the Camp
family, friends of one of his students. At the last, a convoy containing almost
all of his friends from the valley is ambushed with roadside bombs. The
only woman who had not gone with them, save him and Emily, told them what had
happened when she went to check, then drove her car off a cliff. Facing
despair to the point of considering suicide, Hank is rescued, first by a visit
from his old friends among the Camp family, at great risk to themselves; then by
an appearance of the spirit of his beloved Mae Mae, his foster mother.
With a new sense of purpose, he keeps the empty homes and buildings in the
valley in shape, and does his best to keep it from being overrun. When a
small band of Christians seeking refuge arrive at last, he and Emily both die at
same moment, in the arms of Jesus.
