1997 was an important year for Sint Janskerk in Gouda, as the Museo del Prado in Madrid asked to borrow the cartoon of the King's Window by Dirck Crabeth for the exhibition 'Felipe II. Un príncipe del Renacimiento'. Inspired by this event, it was decided to compile an anthology about the church's seventh window. Based on the many-facetted topic an international group of scholars from various disciplines studied the stained-glass window in depth as a crucial presentation of Philip II's Netherlandish and English years. An important step in current research into an enthralling era in European history of the sixteenth century.

Josh Ragizzo and his family are being hunted, having been accused of terrorism and heresy. The religious government known as Babylon has risen to power across the entire planet, and all the nations of the world have sworn allegiance to it. Strict economic restrictions and death decrees have been issued against those who choose not to conform to the worship practices of Babylon. The Ragizzos, because of their knowledge of God as revealed in the pages of Scripture, have refused to participate in the mandated false worship, and are now in hiding in fear of their lives on a daily basis. The very end times described in the prophetic writings of the Bible are upon the earth. Join the family for a story of survival and adventure as they live through the last Christmas the world will ever see. As they strive to endure in and make sense of a world which has turned upside-down, you might just come to see our world in a different light, and see more clearly the mysteries of God.
