After my Father had read my story several times and before I had published it, he was continually giving me new ideas of where to go with the story and what questions he would like to have answered in regards to character development and other questions that plague Christians secretly in their hearts. So needless to say, we were in constant contact about the book. One morning, I received a text from him reading only "Helio Apotheosis". I asked him, "what does that mean?" He responded, "I don't know. It was said to me in a dream over and over again. Perhaps a title for your book." So, I looked it up and 'Helio' means 'sun', and 'Apotheosis' means 'climactic point of development'. So, I saw that this held more than one meaning in relation to my story. The climactic point of Jesus the son is him taking our sin on the cross. Also, the climactic point of the sun itself could be the undoing of Earthly existence before the new heaven and Earth are created. And seeing how my story is based around the Apocalypse and the book of Revelation, I thought the title fit. Anyway, I found it to be quite an interesting method of how the title was decided upon.
