About the Author
Scot Lahaie is a playwright, author, stage director, and university professor who coordinates the M.A. Theatre Program at Regent University. With an MFA in Stage Directing and an MA in Theatre History and Dramatic Criticism, he has directed over 80 productions and published 15 plays, including the Getchell Award-winning Dogfall. His dramatic work explores faith, politics, and the human condition through religious drama, social commentary, and classical adaptations.
Beyond academia, Scot serves as Lead Pastor of The Furnace Christian Fellowship, a contemplative-charismatic house church in Canton, Ohio, where he lives with his wife, Ute. With extensive experience in deliverance ministry and spiritual formation, his pastoral work centers on “Inner Room” spirituality—recovering the indwelling presence of God as the foundation of Christian discipleship.
As an author, Scot writes both mythic fantasy and theological nonfiction. His seven-book Realms of Light saga weaves biblical typology through six millennia of spiritual warfare, while his theological works The Return to the Inner Temple and The Architecture of Invisible Realms blend Scripture, quantum physics, and mystical theology to map the invisible structures of the spiritual world.
Featured Plays
The Culture War Plays: Dogfall, Purging Mary, Gloria Dei
Three Plays. Three Hotly-Contested Social Issues. One Powerful Collection.
Ideologies collide in Dogfall as a suicide doctor and his rival grapple for the political high ground. Winner of the Getchell Award, this play is an unflinching exploration of the political and social morass of the right-to-die debate.
Religious creeds crumble in Purging Mary when the wife of a white, southern right-to-life crusader is raped and impregnated by a black man. Forced by inbred bigotry to reconsider his ethical position, the crusader sets out on a journey that destroys everything he holds dear. This tightly-written play is an uncompromising exploration of the political and social intricacies of abortion-on-demand in America.
In Gloria Dei, a court order allows a brain-dead woman to die of starvation, but she is poisoned before her body gives way to deprivation. A priest is accused of the crime. Is it murder or mercy killing? A powerful courtroom drama that explores the right-to-life debate.
Big Brother 2024: A Play in Twelve Scenes
BIG BROTHER 2024 is a techno-savvy blend of theater and media that takes its inspiration from George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. An update of an earlier play, the action is set in a not-too-distant future in a declining America where political apathy has led to the rise of a secret organization whose express purpose is to control the nation through technological superiority. Big Brother’s immediate goal is to make America ungovernable by pitting its citizenry against itself until Martial Law can be declared, effectively destroying the democracy from within. A young hacker named Spartacus mounts a one-man cyberwar against Big Brother, who in turn unleashes the full resources of the organization against him. The epic battle of wills that plays out across the Net ignites a grassroots uprising that promises to rekindle the flame of American democracy.
Mary, Mother of God: A Drama in Two Acts
Dr. Amanda St. Claire, Psychiatrist for New York City’s 14th Police Precinct, has been tasked to identify a vagrant woman who believes she is the Virgin Mary. As casual therapy gives way to more serious exploration, the good doctor grows despondent over the lack of progress concerning Mary’s true identity. And though Mary remains good-natured and pleasant about the doctor’s inquiry, she shows a stubborn insistence that she has been sent by God to meet the needs of the broken-hearted. The doctor is even more troubled by Mary’s contagious attitude of joy and blessing that carries with it a power to draw others into her delusion. St. Claire eventually resorts to hypnosis as a most invasive tool to break through Mary’s delusional life story, only to come face to face with her own darkest secrets. In turn, the doctor becomes the patient as Mary’s true identity is finally discovered.
Gadfly: An Ironic Cabaret in Two Acts
Gadfly explores the power of the establishment to determine what we call accepted Truth, and chronicles how it has historically been the outsider that has moved our understanding of Truth forward. The play is a cosmic Cabaret where special guests are invited to defend their teachings or actions, to include Socrates, Copernicus, Columbus, Galileo, Einstein, Darwin, and science philosopher William Dembski, to name a few. These visitations are marshaled by a musical Poet Guide named Virgil, who is backed by a British threesome with a ukulele and a squeeze box. Virgil keeps the action moving forward as the “Idols of the Institution” play judge and jury over the minds of our history’s greatest thinkers. The resulting journey beyond space and time sheds light on the present claims of science in the contemporary age as compared to the claims of our greatest thinkers down through the ages. It is, above all else, an exoneration of contemporary scholars to pursue truth wherever they find it.

The Architecture of Invisible Realms: Quantum Perspectives on the Christian Faith
Not everything is as it appears.
What if the invisible world is not vague or symbolic—but structured, intelligent, and waiting to be accessed?
The Architecture of Invisible Realms opens a bold new lens on the Christian faith, mapping the spiritual architecture of the Second and Third Heaven through both Scripture and quantum thought. Drawing from years of experience in deliverance ministry and theological formation, this book brings clarity to the way realms, dimensions, and heavenly mechanics govern spiritual life.
You’ll discover:
How faith collapses invisible potential into visible reality
Why the spirit of man can operate outside time and space
How heavenly blueprints and scrolls of destiny define our design
What it means to live from the Third Heaven
How spiritual warfare operates across multiple realms
This book speaks to believers hungry for more than religious platitudes—those who know there’s a supernatural structure behind their calling and want to see how it works.

The Realms of Light Saga
An Epic Fantasy Series Rooted in Spirit and Flame
The Realms of Light is a mythic fantasy saga spanning six millennia—seven interlinked novels that explore the hidden battle between Spirit and Flesh across the ages. Blending prophetic imagination, biblical typology, and high fantasy adventure, the series invites readers into a supernatural cosmos where heavenly realms, soul-forged warriors, and ancient enemies collide.
Each book stands alone, yet together they reveal a sweeping narrative: from the pre-Adamic rebellion before Eden to the final days before the second coming of Christ. Across this unfolding mythos, immortal angels guide chosen heroes, sacred fire stirs in forgotten hearts, and the veil between realms is ever thinning.
At the heart of this saga is one recurring flame—the Spirit’s indwelling power—passed from age to age through flawed but consecrated vessels. With the turning of every age, the Spirit finds a bearer, the battle renews, and the Kingdom advances.
The Seven Novels:
Book 1: Beyond the Wall (set in 1000 BC)
A thousand years after the kingdom was torn in three, the last hope for reunification lies in the hands of a girl who has never set foot beyond the city gates.
When Mia, a seemingly ordinary orphan, stumbles upon a hidden viewing stone, she glimpses a world she was never meant to see—a realm of magic, mystery, and an ancient power long forbidden. As whispers of war rise in the east and strange omens appear in the skies, Mia is called beyond the Wall that has separated the human world from the spirit realm for a millennium.
Armed only with her wits, a glowing sword forged in a forgotten age, and the cryptic words of a prophecy, Mia must journey through a fractured land to awaken allies, uncover her heritage, and face a growing evil once imprisoned by the Titans themselves.
The crown was split. The scepter, lost. The realms, divided. But in Mia, they are made whole again.
Book 2: Before the Wall (set in 2000 AD)
Three sisters. One Kingdom. A choice that will divide their world forever.
After the death of their father, Princess Belle longs for peace. Beatrice craves control. And Trixie—Trixie wants everything.
But when forbidden magic awakens and an ancient demon begins whispering promises of power, the sisters’ fragile bond begins to unravel. As kingdoms burn and loyalties shift, Belle must journey beyond death itself to confront the darkness that has claimed her sister—and now threatens to destroy them all.
A spellbinding tale of sacrifice, resurrection, and the thin line between power and love.
Book 3: Before the Storm (set in 3000 BC)
In an age of giants, one girl dares to strike the first blow.
Long before the Flood, before the rise of Babel, before the covenant, there was a war no one dared to fight. Tilma is the daughter of a chieftain, born to a nomadic tribe clinging to survival in a land terrorized by monsters. When fire rains from the sky and a towering giant slays her father, Tilma flees into the wilderness with only her grief and a blade etched in ancient runes.
To save her people, Tilma must become more than a survivor. She must become a Giant Slayer. But the giants are multiplying. The dark womb of war stirs again. And Azazel—fallen Watcher and architect of monsters—has no intention of letting her live.
A mythic origin story of courage, consecration, and the first divine resistance.
Book 4: Before the Beginning (set in 4000 BC / Pre-Eden)
Before Adam. Before the Fall. Before the veil was ever raised... there was war in the heavens.
Maura is young—ageless, eternal, and radiant—appointed to guard the Loadstone, a living crystal of divine power anchoring the harmony of the Three Realms. She moves in joy, serving the High King in the temple of light, unaware that a betrayal is brewing deep within the Council.
Lucius, once noble among the morning stars, has begun weaving a counterfeit kingdom—harvesting soul fragments from the innocent, draining their essence to stitch together a rival garment of glory. With a whisper, he severs the Loadstone in two, fracturing creation and unleashing chaos across the realms.
The story of the First Rebellion, the soul-forging of Maura’s resolve, and the spark that would one day rend the veil in two.
Book 5: The Beginning of the Age (set in 54 AD)
Before Rome. Before the Church. Before the veil was torn—there was a girl who carried the Flame.
In the shadow of the First Century, the Spirit moves among the forgotten and the faithful. Amid Roman occupation and spiritual desolation, a young Jewish girl named Meerah receives a sacred commission: protect the divine fire. It is the Light of the Spirit, burning through ages of silence, and destined to be poured out again.
Trained in secret by mystics and angelic messengers, Meerah walks the line between the physical and spiritual realms. As Yeshua descends into history, the veil begins to tremble, but the darkness will not yield easily. Demonic hosts gather in the Second Heaven, bent on extinguishing the eternal fire before it can fall upon the earth.
The unseen war that prepared the way for Pentecost, and the girl who made sure the Flame endured.
Book 6: 1054 – The Great Dividing (set in 1054 AD)
In a world trembling on the edge of division, two twin sisters are chosen to bear the unquenchable flame of the Spirit.
After their parents perish, Eden and Shiloh are raised within the hallowed walls of a convent. There, a dying mystic entrusts them with a supernatural fire—the divine blue flame that once fell at Pentecost. When the angelic messenger Maura appears, the sisters are swept into a deeper calling: to preserve the flame amid the approaching schism that threatens to fracture the Church forever.
Trained in the arts of spiritual warfare and heavenly communion, the twins uncover a conspiracy within both the Eastern and Western branches of Christendom. When the long-prophesied East–West Schism finally erupts, the sisters are torn apart—one sent East, the other West—each carrying the flame into a divided world.
Book 7: 2054 – The Glory of the Latter House (set in 2054 AD)
At the end of the age, the Church is fading. The flame is not.
In the year 2054 AD—one thousand years after the Great Schism fractured the Church—the final age of the Church begins to dim. Divided between cold logic and forgotten wonder, the Body of Christ teeters at the edge of silence. But prophecy has not forgotten her.
In a quiet coffee shop, a young woman named Ember is approached by Maura—the eternal Watcher angel. With a single word, Maura awakens a divine spark buried in Ember’s soul. Ember is the final bearer of the flame—the Holy Spirit’s living fire—and the time has come for her to walk in it.
Haunted by visions, hunted by darkness, and drawn into a hidden community of Spirit-filled believers, Ember finds salvation, baptism, and the fire that once shook the world and will shake it again.
This is not just fantasy.
This is the war between Light and Shadow,
Spirit and Flesh, Heaven and Earth.
