About Emery Audubon
Emery Audubon’s future is bright. She’s been accepted into Holworthy Halls, New America’s most prestigious university. She doesn’t mind that Holworthy founded the Educational Reform Initiative — an initiative that banned the Bible, revised history books, and passed laws requiring schools to teach there is no God. Emery trusts that Holworthy knows what’s best. After all, they’ve won awards. They’re held in high esteem.
But everything changes when a fellow student, who’s unlike anyone she’s ever met, invites her to take an illegal class on Revelation, a class that meets in secret in the Histories Department basement. There Emery’s confronted with truths no one taught her in school, a spiritual battle she’s never noticed until now, and the God who reigns and redeems.
Emery’s life is shaken even more when Holworthy’s Dean of Histories discovers she’s taking the class. Will this nationally recognized academic leader ruin her life, which he now is determined to do? Or will Emery use unexpected truths from Revelation to reform her school?
Escape into a world of ancient libraries, secret rooms, and rare books.
Discover what the symbols in Revelation mean and why they matter to you.
Find out if Emery Audubon stops the Educational Reformers — or if they stop her.

Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,

Story Behind The Revelation of Emery Audubon
Many novels have surprise endings. The Revelation of Emery Audubon has a surprise beginning. Although I’ve been a writer for many years and love stories, I had no intention of writing Christian YA fiction rooted in Revelation. Like most Christians, I’ve read the last book in the Bible and have heard plenty of sermons on it. Still, Revelation remained a mystery to me, and not that relevant to …
Revelation’s Symbols
Secret Biblical Code Fascinated — and maybe a little confused — by the symbols in Revelation? Me too. These symbols feel like secret code buried inside the last book of the Bible. And they are. Once you understand these symbols you can crack the code to what God is saying to us through this dazzling and perplexing book. How Revelation’s Symbols Play Into My New Book In my novel, The …
Angel Sighting
In the book of Revelation angels show up all over the place. Angels show up in the rest of the Bible too. They protect, they deliver God’s mail, and they are on mission with and for Jesus. I’ve had my own angel sighting. At least I think I have. Angels in Disguise I had just finished walking 103 miles across England with a handful of other people. We were in London getting gas before heading to a …
