Heaven is not exactly what Jesse Walt expected. After his arrival, he wonders about the purpose for redemption and what individuals are supposed to do for all of eternity. He meets other forever residents with similar concerns.
Following a rally at Patriarch Plaza, Jesse and four advocates embrace a clarion call to leave the familiar behind, much like Abraham did, and sojourn to a new land. The Eskaonites, who dwell in this mysterious place, face an unknown wickedness but lack the spiritual discernment to perceive its danger. Without divine intervention, their societies will likely perish. Some inhabitants accept the newcomers and join their undertaking; others thwart their efforts. Only time will tell if the group succeeds in their mission.
The Day After Always captivates the imagination with epic battle scenes, interactions with angels, rescue attempts, hidden prophecies, mystical devices, and intrigue. The collective must make life-changing decisions as they attempt to identify and confront an ancient evil and restore faith within the divided realms of Eskaonus. Through the process, these comrades discover the vastness of God’s kingdom and His plan for eternity. AMAZON
Jesse Walt and his colleagues just returned to heaven. Their outreach to defeat evil and unite the divided realms of Eskaonus succeeded, but a new situation has arisen. Soon after their arrival, Uzziel, a high-ranking cherub, tells them about another world facing jeopardy.
Camayah is an advanced civilization where technology has become the official religion, which is overseen by a corrupt and mysterious leader. Other belief systems are forbidden. The followers of such prohibited factions are imprisoned, their sympathizers, reprogrammed. Pursuit of pleasure is the mainstay for the populace.

Uzziel asks the advocates to portal to Camayah and determine the best course of action to resolve the various situations before their entire culture slides into chaos. The first priority is to locate and protect the few believers who remain faithful.
The Always Realms is a spiritual adventure story about the possibilities and perils waiting in the time beyond time. Storylines include interactions with angels, futuristic devices, epic battle scenes, daring rescues, and intrigue—all culminating in a surprise outcome. AMAZON
