Renard's second book, ''Your Immortal Reality'' (2006), is a continuation of the first book with the same format and type of dialogue with the two masters that is found in The Disappearance of the Universe. ''Love Has Forgotten No One'' (2013) originally due in mid-2008, but delayed until October 2013 completed the trilogy. All three books were published by Hay House. Renard then said in his e-newsletter that he is currently working on a fourth book. |

According to Renard, his three books were not ] in the conventional sense of the word, since they derive from in-person appearances by the sources, but the core content is represented as the authorship of Arten and Pursah. Renard says he was told that Arten and Pursah would not appear to people other than him, because his teachers did not want their message to be changed by others. |
