A nation splits apart. A church struggles to come together.

In the 1840's-1850's the United States wrestles over the issue of slavery, while former Millerites struggle to find their voice after a Great Disappointment. By the 1860's, both reach a tipping point. Will they come together or be torn apart forever?

As the Civil War engulfs America, the Seventh-day Adventist denomination is established, and issues of faith, freedom, and duty to country clash as conflict threatens to divide both nation and church.

War in Heaven, War on Earth explores the converging experiences of a nation at war and the formation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
