Speaker 1: Happy to welcome to the ft five Cassy Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Shiloh creed Day's an American author. He's written under a
Speaker 1: multiple pen names. He has sold over one point four
Speaker 1: million books. He's received multiple Gold medals for novels and
Speaker 1: been a best selling many times over author. Today, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about the book Plunged the Three Worlds.
Speaker 1: It's book one Three Worlds described as Christian sci fi series. Shiloh,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the fifty five Kosee Morning Show. Thanks for
Speaker 1: showing up.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm confused Christian sci fi series. That's sort of
Speaker 1: an interesting melding of mediums, I guess. Or I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how Christianity and science fiction go
Speaker 1: hand in hand. Obviously that's what the book is all about.
Speaker 1: But how did you get the inspiration for this particular
Speaker 1: book and the idea of merging sci fi and Christian theme.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a long journey. I've written thirty eight novels,
Speaker 2: but this one has been over ten years in the making,
Speaker 2: has had a lot of revisions, and it's been quite
Speaker 2: a journey. But you know, have you ever heard of
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Project. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so we go
Speaker 2: there too. So a big part of the book is
Speaker 2: kind of based on the Philadelphia Project, which is considered
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theory. I guess now, So yeah, we've got
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories, sci fi, and spiritual thriller all wrapped up
Speaker 2: into one. So Plunge is the story of Jacob Carter
Speaker 2: who is forced into a military experiment which causes him
Speaker 2: to jump into the spiritual side of our world, where
Speaker 2: instead of seeing the physical, he's actually experiencing spiritual things.
Speaker 2: So it's his journey of discovering who he really is
Speaker 2: as a navy feel he's very strong, capable and smart,
Speaker 2: but in the spirit he discovers his true self is
Speaker 2: not all he wants it to be. So it's a
Speaker 2: super fun journey.
Speaker 1: So this spiritual realm that he finds himself in, I
Speaker 1: guess my understanding is that there's a cloaking device that
Speaker 1: puts him into this spiritual realm. Now is this a
Speaker 1: spiritual realm? Is it? Is it evil?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I means he is?
Speaker 2: He is?
Speaker 1: He attacked? I mean, because if it's spiritual, there's no
Speaker 1: physical nature going on. I'm thinking, like, you couldn't get
Speaker 1: into a gunfight. In the spiritual world, I mean, does
Speaker 1: he come under some threat or and how is his
Speaker 1: spirituality tested?
Speaker 2: For sure, Yeah, a lot of threats. There's definitely an
Speaker 2: action adventure book, so there's a fight scenes throughout. But
Speaker 2: in the spirit the enemy is a lion and he
Speaker 2: is being hunted. Jacob is being hunted throughout the whole book,
Speaker 2: and it's his journey to figure out, you know what
Speaker 2: biblically does he have? What what can he do to
Speaker 2: protect himself and to change things and to keep himself
Speaker 2: from you know, from the enemy there. So yeah, Plunge
Speaker 2: is definitely man I tell people when to pick it up.
Speaker 2: I say, brace yourself because in the physical world, when
Speaker 2: he jumps back into the physical he is facing super soldiers.
Speaker 2: They're putting him against super soldiers to see if they
Speaker 2: can the government can use the knowledge that it gained
Speaker 2: in the spirit. So yeah, its fights in both worlds.
Speaker 1: I guess is the lion a metaphor or is it
Speaker 1: a true lion? I'm thinking like the Lion, the Witch
Speaker 1: and the Wardrobe, which many point two is maybe a
Speaker 1: dominant Christian theme if you read those series of books.
Speaker 1: But in this particular book, is that is that sort
Speaker 1: of a Is that like an homage to the lion
Speaker 1: the witch in the War about wardrobe in some way?
Speaker 2: No, maybe maybe more to scripture. You know, the Bible
Speaker 2: says that the enemy goes about like a roaring lion,
Speaker 2: So it is fund definitely has a lot of allegorical content.
Speaker 2: So you know, the more that you get into it,
Speaker 2: the more I think things that will pop out to
Speaker 2: you as you read the book.
Speaker 1: There was a book designed to test people's faith or
Speaker 1: to you know, affirm it in some way.
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely to a ferment. When I was thirty two,
Speaker 2: I had major heart trouble and this book was really
Speaker 2: born out of my struggle to find faith and to
Speaker 2: find divine healing, which thank God I have received here.
Speaker 2: I am so yeah. Plunge is definitely a spiritual journey,
Speaker 2: and its purpose is to strengthen, encourage, and kind of
Speaker 2: wake up the church and people who are maybe seeking
Speaker 2: God but haven't seen any of his power. They haven't
Speaker 2: seen the life that they expected to see from that relationship.
Speaker 1: How about that? So I think you've already answered the
Speaker 1: question about who did you write this book for? I
Speaker 1: can certainly understand that now, I guess you went through
Speaker 1: this challenge yourself. Was it one of those moments when
Speaker 1: you felt like God had kind of given up on
Speaker 1: you or turned his back on you in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form, Because I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: struggle with that sort of harsh reality of the world
Speaker 1: when they experience times of trouble or maybe in your case,
Speaker 1: health problems crop up, like a cancer diagnosis or something.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was definitely a dark time, but it was
Speaker 2: also a time of hope because I had made the
Speaker 2: complete decision for myself to trust God's words. So I
Speaker 2: didn't see any doctors, I didn't do anything else. I
Speaker 2: I just went to the Lord. And so although it
Speaker 2: was difficult, I think the biggest thing that I had
Speaker 2: to do was unlearned things that I thought about God,
Speaker 2: and I had to go to the Bible and discover
Speaker 2: what did God actually say about himself. And then I
Speaker 2: had to believe that instead of all of the things
Speaker 2: that I had spent my life believing before.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Now, this is the first book and what
Speaker 1: is called the Three Worlds Christian sci fi series. King
Speaker 1: real quick, I guess have the other books been written
Speaker 1: already and we're just waiting to release them. After this
Speaker 1: one's gone out or are you still working on them?
Speaker 1: And what also is the three worlds? What does initial
Speaker 1: cap three worlds Christian refer to.
Speaker 2: Sure three worlds refers to Heaven, Earth, and Hell. So
Speaker 2: the book kind of spans all three realms, and the
Speaker 2: series definitely does. I'm actually sitting here in front of
Speaker 2: my computer editing Book two. It is scheduled to release,
Speaker 2: I believe in July, and it is up on pre
Speaker 2: order right now. Yeah. So as the series progresses, we
Speaker 2: definitely get into end Time's themes there starts in book
Speaker 2: two and in book three is full on end Time
Speaker 2: revelation type stuff. So wo extremely fun series.
Speaker 1: That sounds very interesting to say the least. And I
Speaker 1: know my listeners will be very interested in getting copy
Speaker 1: of your book. So what we've done is, Shiloh, put
Speaker 1: your book up on my blog page fifty five care
