Character Chart: Day 20

Today is the last day of the 20 Day Character Chart. I enjoyed giving an overview of the main characters, and hope everyone enjoyed it as well! The last person on my Character Chart is my personal favorite!

The answer to yesterday’s trivia question, ‘Where did Charlie’s sister work?’ is at a makeshift hospital caring for the wounded after the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake.

Jesus Christ
First Appearance: In the books it was, Triumphant Return (40th book). In real life it was a little over 2,000 years ago.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who was born from the Virgin Mary. His life was perfect. He never sinned, never made a bad decision, and healed many. God sent Him into the world so that we as sinful human beings can have a way to heaven. Ever since the beginning of time God had a plan for a Savior to be born, and die for us. The exact age of Jesus’ crucifixion is not for sure, but many have guessed he was around the age of 33. He was nailed to a cross and had a long and suffering death. Why? Because Jesus never sinned, he was a perfect sacrifice. And because of his death, we are able to go to heaven, but only if we accept Him and ask for his forgiveness. So does the story end at his death? No. Three days after he died, he rose from the dead. He made himself known and proved to be the Son of God. After forty days on earth he ascended up to heaven, to be with his Father. So is Jesus dead? No, not at all. He lives now and forever!

Character Chart: Day 19

Charlie Atkins

The answer to yesterday’s trivia question, ‘Which judgment was Melinda’s partner, Felicia effected by?’ is the fourth Trumpet, or eleventh judgment. Remember though, just because she was effected by it doesn’t mean it kills her. This judgment doesn’t kill all of its victims.

First Appearance: The Showdown (13th book)

Charlie Atkins was a teenage boy who had trouble understanding the world. He was a slow learner, and needed assistance doing most activities. When the rapture happened, he had no idea why so many people disappeared. He met Vicki while helping her. When Vicki tried to explain to him why he was left behind and what it meant to have a relationship with God, he was more concerned about the mark of the believer on Christian’s foreheads. He stays with the Young Tribulation Force for awhile, but Judd wants him to leave because he isn’t saved, and is worry Charlie might turn the kids in to the Global Community. Can the kids convince Charlie of the truth? Or will he give the Young Trib Force up to the GC?

Conrad Graham

First Appearance: Into the Storm, (11th book)

Conrad Graham, the younger brother of Taylor Graham, met Lionel in the eleventh book of the series. He was a Morale Monitor when he met Lionel. He was curious about the Bible, but wasn’t sure if he wanted to believe it. He didn’t live with his family, and his brother, Taylor, was up in Chicago, so he was recruited by the Global Community, and ended up in a boot camp for Moral Monitor trainees down in the South. After quite a few adventures along the way, Conrad finds Judd and Vicki and they explain the Rapture and tell him about Jesus. Will he listen? Or, because he is a Morale Monitor, will he arrest them?
