The Awakening of Paradise (Coming February 2026):
In the months leading up to Below We Stand, the mysterious Emmanuel appears following the unexplained death of four clerics, the mayor, and eleven others in the rural town of Paradise, Alabama. Emmanuel's message of hope is welcomed by most, but others oppose him.
To those ready to receive it, Emmanuel presents an inspiring interfaith philosophy of unity, peace, and hope in the face of the rising global dictatorship. But to his enemies, he appears as the pawn of a rejected usurper god, and they intend to destroy him.

"One who honors their own religion and condemns other religions,
does so indeed through devotion to their own religion,
thinking 'I will glorify my religion.'
But, on the contrary, in so doing they injure their own religion more gravely.
Therefore concord is good: Let all listen, and be willing to listen to the doctrines professed by others."
— The Buddhist Emperor Asoka of India, 3rd Century B.C.
