Peace Is a Compass, Not a Reward
Peace isn't what God gives you after you've figured everything out. It's how He leads you while you're still on the way.
Helping people discover God's perspective through books, biblical teaching, dream interpretation, podcasts, and spiritual formation.
What if peace isn't found by escaping the world — but by learning how to live above it?
In a time marked by constant noise, pressure, and striving, Above the Sun: A Prophetic Journey into God's Presence offers a different way of living — one rooted not in effort, but in presence. Drawing from Scripture, prophetic insight, and decades of spiritual formation, Eric D. Cooper invites readers into a higher perspective — where clarity replaces confusion, rest quiets the soul, and identity is restored.
This is not about escaping reality. It is about learning to live from heaven's perspective — above the sun.

Eric D. Cooper is an author, teacher, and mentor who has spent his life helping people trade a pressured, "under the sun" existence for the peace of God's perspective. Through books, teaching, and spiritual formation, he serves leaders and everyday believers who are tired of striving and hungry for rest.
"Our mission is simple: to help people discover God's perspective so they can live with peace, purpose, and freedom in Christ."
Who we are, why we write, and the perspective that changes everything.
Ecclesiastes surveys life "under the sun" and reaches an honest verdict: on its own, it is vapor. Striving, achieving, accumulating — none of it holds. But the Bible does not leave us under the sun. In Christ, we are "seated with Him in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 2:6), invited to set our minds "on things that are above" (Colossians 3:2).
Above the Sun exists to help people discover God's perspective so they can live with peace, purpose, and freedom in Christ.
Eric D. Cooper is an author, teacher, director, and mentor. His work spans publishing, biblical teaching, dream interpretation, and leadership formation — all carried by one conviction: character comes before platform, identity before influence, and rest before action.
As a spiritual father to many, Eric writes and teaches with calm authority, structured clarity, and a pastoral heart. His aim is never spectacle. It is fruit — Christ formed in people.
This site is the first expression of a larger vision: a digital campus of books, courses, teaching, and community — including future homes for the Dream Interpretation Center, the School of the Prophets, and SHĀLAM Academy. Version by version, the goal stays the same: a thoughtfully curated place where people slow down, learn, reflect, and grow in their relationship with Christ.
Scripture is our final authority. Jesus Christ is Lord — fully God and fully man. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone. The Holy Spirit indwells and empowers believers today, and every gift and revelation must bow to biblical truth and bear the fruit of the Spirit.

Gifting can open doors that character can't keep open. Why formation must always run ahead of influence — and how to build in that order.
