Society in Turmoil: Dr. Richard Ruhling Says We Must Learn To Navigate Faith, Chaos, And Hope Amidst Rising Tensions And Immorality


Dr Ruhling sees climate change, wars, famine, pandemics and violent crimes bringing Biblical End-Times.

With 65-75% of US identifying as Christians, an increasing number wonder what the world is coming to. A teen is sentenced to life in prison for vehicular homicide, and society is torn by factions politically, racially, financially and by religion. Some say Allah will punish the Great Satan (US) and others say Christ will snatch them to heaven. The pre-occupation of illicit lifestyles has millions living torn lives portrayed by Hollywood in an unreal world becoming real, as headlines become increasingly bizarre and readers wonder what the future holds.

Dr. Richard Ruhling is a retired physician in his 80’s and he has seen a lot of life. He believs people are becoming crazy with negative emotions of fear, hate, anxiety, some of it due to drugs, and some due to fictional media they feed on. “The devil made me do it” may be increasingly true for crimes unimaginable. Is there any hope for society?

“Yes and no,” says Ruhling, “depending on choices. These include turning from the negatives of fictional movies and lifestyles of substance abuse (abnormal use of unnatural foods, beverages or drugs). Vegans, for example, may have fewer problems with all of the above than a teenager trying every new thing on a dare.

"Poking a pin in an electrical socket may be normal at 2 or 3, but at 20 or 30, it’s not cool and time to get off the merry-go-round that seeks social approve for wild ideas. Like Step 1 for the Alcoholics Anonymous or Over-eaters Anonymous, people need to admit their lives are unmanageable and come to believe that a Higher Power is needed to restore sanity. Turning our lives over to God as we understand Him may seem radical, but it has worked for countless people and all ages," said Ruhling.

He notes that a junk food diet ruins the body, but healthy food can reverse the process. So it is with our mental diet. The Spanish word for library is biblioteca—bible tech. The Bible is like a library with excellent information on many subjects. History thought to be fiction, like the Exodus of a million people from Egypt to the Promised Land is supported by the finding of chariot wheels under the Red Sea, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIQ-QAKTqZc&t=10s

Ruhling says he was taught that Moses wrote the first comprehensive health code. Animals to be eaten were carefully inspected and neither the fat nor blood was eaten. That might drop heart disease and cancer from the top of our causes of death today, says Ruhling, adding that prescription drugs are also a major factor for many diseases and death.

Moses also wrote laws that have preserved the Jewish nation in spite of many adversities for centuries. The book of Psalms is an example of poetry that feeds or strengthens emotions and Proverbs has been considered a book excellent for business principles. Daniel’s book on prophecy was cited by Christ when asked about end-times.

Critics who don’t wish to believe the Bible’s claim on their lives say it’s prophecies were written hundreds of years later, but anyone familiar with Daniel can see accuracy that spans 2500 years to our time in Daniel 8:17. “The vision at the time of the end” is a conflict between the political cartoons of a Muslim ram and a goat that flies from the west to breat its horns (militancy) of Medes and Persians that are now Iraq and Iran.

The imagery of a lion, bear, leopard and dragon represent “four kings that shall arise” in end-times. "The lion fits the UK, the bear represented Russia in political cartoons when I was a child," said Ruhling. "The dreadful 4th beast represented Rome and Protestant reformers saw the emergence of a diverse little horn becoming great and doing what the papacy did."

Readers may wonder how we get to end-times from here. Ruhling sees Iran’s nukes and missiles as trouble for Israel cited as victory for Islam in Zechariah 14, but short-lived as they celebrate “Allah has no Son.” Joel 3 says, “The Lord shall roar from Jerusalem…the heavens and earth shall shake” and they will flee, but that earthquake initiates the end-times that we may expect to see soon. A series of events will bring judgment to our world.

'Apostle Rising' - Is Richard Godwin The Next Stephen King?


Author Richard Godwin's debut novel, 'Apostle Rising' has drawn comparisons to Stephen King. The book is a dark tale about a psychopathic serial killer who crucifies politicians

Author and playwright Richard Godwin has announced the release of his new dark fiction novel 'Apostle Rising'. The book is a compelling psychological thriller about a psychopathic serial killer who crucifies politicians. Godwin's writing style has been compared to Ken Bruen's and John Connolly's. Godwin himself has been compared to Stephen King.

"Being compared to Stephen King," stated Godwin, "is an honor.That word is often used loosely but not here. 'The Dark Half 'changed my life literally. It is the great Jekyll and Hyde novel, an exploration of a basic split within the human psyche that King manages with genius. I have read all of his works. Time and again he produces works of immeasurable genius with a deftness of approach and a consistency of purpose that places him up there with the likes of Dickens and all the greats. He is also a great short story teller, so having my debut novel 'Apostle Rising' compared to Stephen King's 'Children Of The Corn' by fellow horror writer Jodi Mac Arthur is an honor. Stephen King writes electric prose. Each story and novel is crafted to perfection and contains the quintessential Stephen King kick. They also make you think, they make you think about the motivations in our souls. And that is what I tried to do in writing 'Apostle Rising', as my novel digs deep into the mind of a psychopathic killer."

In 'Apostle Rising', Detective Chief Inspector Frank Castle never caught the Woodlands Killer and it almost destroyed him. Now many years later and still suffering from nightmares, he is faced with a copycat killer with detailed inside knowledge of the original case. Someone is crucifying politicians, and Castle and his partner DI Jacki Stone enter a labyrinth. At its center is the man Castle believes was responsible for the first killings. He’s running a sinister cult and playing mind games with the police. And the ritualistic killer keeps raising the stakes and slipping through their hands. The body count is rising. Castle employs a brilliant psychologist to help him solve the case, and he begins to dig into the killer’s psyche. But some psychopaths are cleverer than others.

"I wrote Apostle Rising," stated Godwin, "for every reader of crime and horror fiction out there. I wrote it for anyone who likes a guessing game. I wrote it for anyone who is interested in why crimes occur, and for anyone who likes a good novel, strong characters, a dramatic story and is interested in psychology."

Jodi MacArthur said that "Apostle Rising is akin to Stephen King's 'Children of the Corn'. Only with noir. Whiskey. Knives. Politicians. And a hell of gore. It is a maze through a psychopath's mind, only you get to solve the puzzle with Detectives Castle and Stone as they try to hold their own personal lives together while the killer(s?) tease and taunt through horrific killings and rituals. My favorite character in the book is poetic, mentally disturbed and has an obsession with King Henry VIII and the first wife whose head he chopped. The ending is a fast paced rollercoaster ride."

Vincent Zandri, author of 'As Catch Can' and 'The Remains' stated that 'Apostle Rising' is a "noir tour-de-force that will leave you breathless and teary-eyed". Scott Phillips, bestselling author of 'The Ice Harvest' said, "Richard Godwin's 'Apostle Rising' is a police procedural and psychological thriller of the first order. If you love Ken Bruen and John Connolly, Godwin's the man you'll be following next." Crime Time Magazine said that "The blood-soaked scenes he describes . . . recall the films of Dario Argento. An arresting and cleverly plotted police procedural married to gothic horror and the aesthetics of the slasher genre Apostle Rising is an unusual and memorable crime story. " Bruce Grossman of Bookgasm said "For a debut crime novel, it makes a great introduction to Godwin’s style and talent for prose. Be on the lookout for hopefully many more."

Mr. Godwin is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at stanzazone@gmail.com. A recent radio interview on The Authors Show is available at his website. The book trailer for Apostle Rising can be viewed at YouTube.com.

Politicians Crucified By Serial Killer - Award Winning Author Richard Godwin Releases 'Apostle Rising'


In light of today's headlines, the idea of politicians being crucified may not be such a stretch of the imagination.
