Why I Created Worlds Apart

Approximately ten years ago, I conceived the idea of a Christian science fiction epic about intergalactic missionaries. The premise is somewhat laughable, but only because we, as audiences, tend to look at sci-fi as purely escapist, with aliens, spaceships, and all the usual Star Wars and Star Trek conventions.


I realized that I could create a very realistic premise that did not use aliens, time-travel, alternate realities or any of that sci-fi complications. As a result, people became the focus of the story, and people who shared the gospel as the main focus.


Worlds Apart takes place in the future, where humanity is spread out through the galaxy on numerous interstellar colonies. The Earth is united under the Theocrats, but their particular God-centered government is not what it seems. The stories center around a group of Christians who travel all throughout the universe, fulfilling the Great Commission and sharing the gospel to Earth and the Colonies.


In 2003, I published Worlds Apart under the Title Light At The Edge of The Universe: Planet of Secrets.

The publishing company, Acorn Press, only put out a few hundred copies, and I learned a hard lesson about going with a subsidy. Much of the book I had to edit myself with no help from this publisher, but I learned a lot about writing in the process. If you're still interested in buying a copy for yourself, click to go to Amazon. Who knows? It might be worth something someday as a First Edition or something.


However, this blog is meant to showcase Worlds Apart and the Worlds Apart series so that someday, a royalty publisher will pick it up. When that happens, this could easily become the next Left Behind series, inspiring many people around the world with its exciting adventures and inspiring message. It could easily change Christian Science Fiction as we know it, which doesn't really exist now.


The next few entries of this blog will focus on the first three chapters (including the thrilling prologue) of the first novel in World's Apart, followed by daily entries about the series in general. Many a subject will arise, and I will also have some pretty impressive visuals as well. So enjoy this new Christian Science Fiction series, and pray that it will reach many.
