Risen is an intriguing urban fiction story that is set in Atlanta and Miami that follows Chauncey Miller as he follows his dream of becoming a successful spiritual leader.
As Chauncey pursues his dream of becoming a successful spiritual leader, his ascension is riddled with the temptation of absolute control over his followers, power, and wealth at all costs. Chauncey's story explores the aspirations of an average person to embrace the doctrine of self-empowerment, and the serious trials, tribulations, and turmoil that followed his ascension.
Risen is a fascinating and fast paced urban fiction tale that easily draws the reader into Chauncey's story. It is a realistic and engaging in depth look into one man's personal journey of self-empowerment to achieve his dream.
