@Everyone
Thank you for the kind words! I'm very excited for volume 2 "Week One".
@Terry
The "end-of-the-world" happens and a JW congregation believes that it is the "armageddon" they have been waiting for. They try to make sense of what is happening based on their particular beliefs. Maybe for the first time they begin to see how horrific those beliefs really can be -- God is going to kill everyone but us. The events unfold through the eyes of a narrator who has sacrificed quite a bit for the sake of "the truth". Like many JW's he's depressed and waiting for "paradise" come to fix everything. Yet what if the carrot on the end of the stick is rotten?
Where Left Behind is told from an evangelical point of view, Paradise Earth is different. It's not meant to be preachy. Yes, the JW characters are religious and they do view things according to their Bible beliefs, but they also struggle with extreme doubts. It's a very honest book and I have received positive feedback from both theists and atheists.

Thanks everyone! Paradise Earth: Day Zero had a huge spike over the past couple of days and cracked the Amazon top-100 for "alternate history" (whatever that is).
If you read the book and enjoyed I would be EXTREMELY grateful if you took a couple of minutes to leave a review, no matter how small. Reviews are a major help to indie writers and improve rankings on websites.
If you enjoyed Paradise Earth you might also enjoy Happiness: How to Find It. It is a romance about a young pioneer sister in a country congregation. It's hard to find love when there isn't many options. LOL. I've been putting it up for FREE online, a chapter a week since last July. There are two weeks left before the story finishes up. It isn't too late to catch up!

I don't know what you mean when you ask "who's likely to read it?"
The choir?

hi guys ,i hope you can help here .i'm currently researching the tower of babel and the reasons for building it in the first place?
could it be that nimrod had information or plans based on a pre-flood building ?
bab+el=gate+god could it be an attempt to rebuild a pre-flood structure that served as the gates to the god's (whether materialised satan+demons) or base of angels on earth ?
Yes.
In the original state the earth had a fixed "sun" in the heaven made up of Saturn, Venus, and Mars. This is the original "trinity", father, mother, son. From the earth it gave the impression of the eye. Saturn was the bright outer disk, venus the colorful iris, and mars the dark pupil. This is where we get the idea of the "eye in the sky". Just below the earth raised up like a mountain, and then a beam of light connected heaven and earth, like a "ladder".
Eventually the heavens broke up in a spectacular (and terrifying) manner. The structure of pyramids is a callback to this. Neb's tower of babel was not to "touch the heavens" per say, but rather the top was "the heavens". It is an attempt to build a religious symbol of what was lost.
There are also echos of this in the Bible as well, especially in Revelation. Where "New Jerusalem" functions as a fixed sun above the holy mountain with a "stream" running down from it.
Many of our symbols today also refer back to this. The winged sun disk, the steeple and cross, the Christmas tree, the caduceus, the washington monument, and on and on...
