Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is proud to announce that one of its own, Police Officer Christopher “ Topher” Weisinger, has released a gripping new Christian fiction novel titled Thief in the Night: Shelter in the Storm. Published under the pen name Topher Weisinger, the book marks his debut in the genre of eschatological fiction. Drawing inspiration from a lifelong fascination with biblical prophecy and the Left Behind series, Weisinger explores the harrowing “what if” of those remaining on Earth following the Rapture. The story centers on Sherman Taylor, a pragmatic construction supervisor from Fort Worth, who is thrust into a world of sudden global collapse and the onset of the Great Tribulation.
