To sum up the story - a pastor and a newspaper reporter discover there's a plot going on to take over the town... and the world. But while the pastor and reporter see the people involved, what is important is the spiritual battles going on behind the scenes.
Fiction books rarely make a huge impact on my life. They mostly are an enjoyable read - for when I just want to relax and not try to "learn" or "change". Well, this is an exception! This book changed how I viewed prayer! Not just prayer in general, but MY prayers and whether or not they really make a difference. This book also changed how I view spiritual warfare and what is going on in the spirit world while we're too busy focusing on this world.
Beware! You WILL read about demons in this book. They are real, they are powerful, they are evil, and, in this book, they are UGLY! You will also read about angels. They are real, they are powerful, and they are wonderful. But this book brings up a thought. What if angels are empowered by our prayers? What if they cannot fight some of the evil unless enough people are praying... and praying hard!! What if my lack of praying actually keeps evil from being defeated?
Is it fiction? Yes. But it really makes you wonder.... what if?
