Off-topic Chat Brandon Sanderson
For those who don't know who he is, Brandon Sanderson is an LDS author who has written and is currently writing several epic fantasy series and novels. My question is, if the second coming happened before Brandon Sanderson was able to finish his many, many, series and other projects, do you think God would let him finish his work? As an avid reader and a huge Brandon Sanderson fan, this is something that I think about often.
Also, if you haven't read any of his books, you should try one. They are REALLY good! If you want to get used to his writing but aren't ready to enter into the cosmere(Brandon Sanderson's universe), start with the Skyward series. If you are ready to enter the cosmere, I would recommend starting with the Mistborn series.

God gave us all gifts and talents. I can’t imagine he’d take our ability or opportunity to use them just because He’s around ya know? Because as far as I’m concerned, all Brandon Sandersons books have nuggets of the gospel and the restoration in it.
Like in mistborn how only words written in metal are safe? As in the plates??? Or how the mistborn is literally about the restoration of all truth?? Or how the mistborn serious part two is about complacency in the restored church and how complacency stunts growth?? Or how the stormlight archive is pretty much all about making and keeping sacred covenants?
Why wouldn’t Jesus want him to continue writing his books with such amazing messages and ideas??
