God's Eternal Blueprint for His Church — from Eden to the Garden of Revelation

One family. One kingdom. One Church — from the very beginning.

The Catholic Church is not a human institution that evolved over the centuries. It is the eternal design of God, woven into creation from the moment He breathed life into Adam — unfolding covenant by covenant, mediator by mediator, until it reaches its fulfillment in Jesus Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Joe walks you through the whole sweep of salvation history — from the garden of Eden to the Garden of Revelation — and shows that the Church's structure, sacraments, and mission aren't innovations. They're revelations.

He Is Coming: Rise of the Antichrist book cover — a priest rowing a boat through fog, by Joe McClane
Fiction · Launching July 7, 2026

He Is Coming

The Rise of the Antichrist — Book One

The year is 2030. The Faith is illegal. The hunt is on.

Fr. Edmund is a young underground priest who slips through a hostile world in disguise, bringing the sacraments to the faithful in broad daylight — while a haunted, vengeful priest-hunter works through a deck of cards bearing the names of the clergy he has sworn to destroy. Between them stands a man with one foot in the darkness and one in the light. A novel about courage, martyrdom, and the Lord who is coming — sooner than the world thinks.

The Passion was written into Scripture centuries before Calvary.

Five illustrated meditations on the Sorrowful Mysteries, each one opening the Old Testament hidden beneath it — Adam's thorns, David's stripes, the wood Isaac carried up the mountain — with sacred art in the style of Caravaggio and a prayer for every mystery. Yours free; take it to your knees tonight with your Rosary.
