We’ve had one Ascension Day, yes.

What about second Ascension Day?

On either May 14 or May 21 this year, Ascension Day marks the lesser-known sequel to Easter Sunday.

We honor the time when Jesus Christ returned to Heaven.

His disciples recorded His famous last words, including His command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

How does this Great Commission affect our fantastical stories?

I mean, if they're not sharing the good news to get people saved ... or else trying to illustrate clear Christian ideas ... what is the point of fiction at all?

E. Stephen Burnett and Zack Russell go therefore into this fun yet often heated topic in today's podcast episode!

Heaven will be placed on Earth?

Once we believe this promise (Rev. 21), we may find that our fears and myths about Heaven grow strangely dim.

For many Christians, tomorrow (May 14) marks Ascension Day! So this week's episode rises to the occasion to survey at least seven unheavenly notions about God's eternal dwelling with us—present and future.

A funny thing happened when Capcom released their new video game.

Players of "Pragmata" felt parental.

Men wanted to be like Hugh the space soldier and protect this adorable android girl. And when little Diana showed her guardian new crayon drawings, women who said they "didn't really like kids" just melted.

Some critics couldn't fathom this response. Could gamer bros really be this wholesome and want families?

But games like Pragmata do help us return to "factory settings." So do other great stories about courageous warriors who guard the innocent.

E. Stephen Burnett and Zack Russell seek to push all the right buttons in today's new Fantastical Truth episode. Find this atop the feed in your favorite podcast player. Or visit our (newly upgraded!) web mission at Lorehaven dot com.

Faithful creator CE White Books has gone to the World Next Door.

She knows her Author better than ever.

Yet author Connie White (1977–2026) leaves behind many fans of her fantasies and nonfiction, along with many fellow creators who knew her well. They praise Connie's love for the Lord Jesus Christ and the creative, generous spirit He gave her.

Pray for Connie's family and friends as they prepare for her May 3 memorial.

Meanwhile, we had reviewed both of Connie's middle-grade fantasy novels, The Worlds Next Door and Vincent in Wonderland. Today is a great day to discover these wonderful works:

🚪 C. E. White’s The Worlds Next Door introduces twelve-year-old Janie, who is fascinated by a neighbor’s derelict house. From her window at night she sees lights, but no one ever goes in or out. When she and her friend Reggie investigate, they discover the house is a portal to worlds such as Sian, where the ground wobbles, people look like polar bears, and residents desperately need help from Earth. Soon the kids find themselves getting their sea legs on a perilous mission to rescue Sian. The story appears intended for middle-grade readers, but characters’ philosophical discussions lend this story a more grown-up and allegorical feel.

Best for: Older children, yet parents may need to read aloud and explain some words; adult fans of inventive Christian fantasy and thoughtful theological fiction. 🚪

🐇 What if Alice wasn’t alone when she fell down that rabbit hole? C. E. White portrays a unique historical crossover in Vincent in Wonderland. This whimsical retelling pairs 11-year-old artist Vincent van Gogh with Lewis Carroll’s original Alice Liddell, when both youngsters are called to a magical realm to use their gifts, exploring purpose in life, self-sacrifice, and stewardship of talents. With descriptions evoking van Gogh’s artwork and the unique animals of Carroll’s imagination, White paints a vivid picture of this quest to destroy the Jabberwock and save this world.

Best for: Middle-grade fans of portal fantasy and Alice in Wonderland.

Discern: Brief scenes of childhood bullies and violence against animals, vague discussions of depression and mental health. 🐇

Do you prefer stories that feel safe?

Many fans do. That makes sense. We live in a dangerous land. We've often suffered abuse, illness, trauma, and other dooms from a groaning world.

But sometimes our "safety" standards can keep us from learning resilience.

And many readers long to be warriors.

So is it any wonder that a top-selling subgenre among young male readers is LitRPG, often with totally epic and jacked soldier good guys who tend to destroy evil aliens and/or demons?

Today Zack Russell explores LitRPG action adventures with "Devil Dog" creator Jonathan Shuerger, Podcaster and Author ! Listen on any podcast player. Or head to Lorehaven dot com for all episodes with notes.

Sailing to Gildenwood is his destiny.

But for his first high-seas adventure, young barrel-maker Searlus is doomed to face disaster after disaster.

Is the Wavemaker truly good?

Avast! we loved F. C. Shultz's fantastical voyage WAVEMAKER.

"F. C. Shultz infuses this fanciful seafaring adventure with spiritual flavors from The Chosen. This tale of pirates, sea monsters, and mysterious islands is excellent for fans of stories with strong biblical parallels."

“We are now approaching lunar sunrise.

“And for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.

“‘In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.’”

🌗 Past astronauts like the Apollo 8 crew paid tribute to Christianity.

🌖 Present astronauts like Captain Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Captain Victor Glover praise God and even the Lord Jesus.

🌕 And future astronauts will need to make space for Him.

How do these pioneers honor the Lord while showing respect for others in our small world of big beliefs?

Ida Shabawn finally has her mission.

But her friends are getting ahead with theirs. And the Academy isn't helping.

We just read SANCTIFIED, book 3 of V. Romas Burton - Author's The Legacy Chapters series. From reviewer Ticia Messing :

"V. Romas Burton gives returning side characters particular purpose to shine in Ida Shabawn’s continuing story while exploring the political and social rules of the world."
