Donovan M. Neal is the Amazon best-selling independently published author of the Third Heaven Series: a speculative Christian fantasy four book series that explores the captivating story about the fall of Lucifer. The book takes readers on an epic journey through the celestial realms, offering a unique perspective on the events surrounding Lucifer's rebellion and his descent into darkness.

Why they had the agenda that they had. I never saw anything in the media that seriously addressed the fall of Lucifer. It was always told in a "Buffy the vampire" type of way. Which I thought was silly ans trivialized such a important Biblical character. I always thought it would be a great story to tell in a movie. Everyone seemed to treat this character in the Bible in a "silly" way. I decided that I would try to write a possible story that took the story seriously. I hope I accomplished that. (less)

So hopefully you've kept up with my writing and you have had a chance to get the Chronicles of the Grigori.
I am focused on a new non-Bible story series but I am always open to the Lord to give me something to write in the Biblical fiction sphere. Thanks for following my work and you take care! God bless!(less)

A Blog Series: “In the Image of God: Reclaiming Human Creativity in the Age of AI” Part 4 – Reclaiming Language: Why How We Talk About AI Matters

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” — Proverbs 18:21

Language is not neutral. It names, it frames, it shapes how we perceive the world. In Genesis, the first task God gives Adam is to name the animals. Words are not just descriptors—they’re definers. And in our present moment, the words we use to talk about artificial intelligence are quietly—and dangerously—redefining what it means to

Thanks Carolyn! I'm very excited! I hope we can have the audio book out next week sometime! I praise God for you and others who have supported my writing.

Carolyn Just listened to an Audio Book clip for Third Heaven- The Birth of God. Excellent! I never listened to a book before, but the reader has a great voice and did a great job!


Donovan Neal I just wanted everyone to know that book two of the Third Heaven series is well underway. Titled The Third Heaven: The Birth of God. In the next novel we will journey to see the aftermath of Lucifer's fall from Heaven, and the powerful choices that must be made to combat the greatest antagonist mankind has ever known. At 30,000 words I'm well underway. What would you do for love?"

See the new debut book trailer here!
