Christy's first semester at college is even better than she could have imagined. She has a new best friend and study partner, Ashley. She's falling hard for the handsome and funny Scott Markham. All of her classes are going well--except Scientific Paradigms. Christy discovers evidence that the professor, Dr. Franklin, is conducting dangerous experiments on his unsuspecting students. When she confronts him, Dr. Franklin claims an entirely different motive. Christy must decide what to believe. Is Dr. Franklin placing his students' lives at risk for scientific gain, or is he giving them the skills to survive an imminent worldwide disaster?   Survival Skills is the first book in the Survival Series.      Theresa Alt has always had a passion for the written word and its power to move people. Even before she could spell, she was writing stories. Now, as a physical therapist working with geriatric patients, she delights in the words of wisdom shared between generations.      At home in Marion, Iowa, Theresa pursues many creative endeavors in addition to writing, including acting, dancing, and playing the flute and piano.      It's Theresa's hope that  Survival Skills  will remind you that God created you for a purpose and that, no matter how dark things appear, God is still working in our world.
