Soul's gate: 1 (A Well Spring Novel) - Tapa blanda

Críticas

'By his own admission, the author is taking the spiritual warfare novel up a few notches from his previous book (Rooms) with a plot that involves entering and warring for the souls of other people and showing the path to spiritual freedom. References in the story line to sci-fi movies helps tie biblical references to bending time and space in order to enter souls. A trio of young people follows a wounded leader named Reece to a retreat in the mountains where he teaches them how to be warriors for souls and how to enter souls to set them free. The three must overcome their own demons, as must Reece, on the way to the final lesson. Readers with high blood pressure or heart conditions be warned: this is a seriously heart-thumping and satisfying read that goes to the edge, jumps off, and "builds wings on the way down." * Publishers Weekly * 'Where does pain reside? Where does healing begin? Within the soul. In Soul's Gate, the soul becomes the battlefield when four people from varying lives are brought together by a prophecy. They learn how to enter people's souls to fight for spiritual freedom and renewal. In the process, they also learn how to heal themselves. Rubart does something few religious authors do: He brings ancient, forgotten happenings in the Bible into the contemporary scene. With careful use of Scripture, he reminds the reader that God and the Holy Spirit are not bound by distance and time. He portrays miracles and the power of prayer through the actions of average characters in an enlightening fashion. This book is provocative in its material. It forces the reader to consider components of God's nature not normally focused on. It's a quality novel for young or older Christians of any theological background.' * Church Libraries (winter issue) *

Reseña del editor

Reece stood and faced the group. "Every now and then we get a break from reality. A glimpse into the other world that is more real than the reality we live in 99 percent of our days. The Bible is about a world of demons and angels and great evil and even greater glory. A world the prophets saw; the world Enoch, and Elijah, and Paul, and John the apostle all saw. A world that is all around us in every moment if we would have eyes to see and ears to hear."

What if you could travel inside another person's soul? To battle for them. To be part of Jesus healing their deepest wounds. To help set them free to step boldly into their divinely designed future.

Thirty years ago that's exactly what Reece Roth did. Until tragedy shattered his life and ripped away his destiny.

Now God has drawn Reece out of the shadows to fulfill a prophecy spoken over him three decades ago. A prophecy about four warriors with the potential to change the world . . . if Reece will face his deepest regret and train them. 

They gather at a secluded and mysterious ranch deep in the mountains of Colorado, where they will learn to see the spiritual world around them with stunning clarity. And how to step into the supernatural as powerfully as anyone in the Bible did.

Their training is only the beginning. The four have a destiny to battle for a freedom even Reece doesn't fully fathom. But they have an enemy hell-bent on destroying them as well and he'll stop at nothing to keep them from their quest for true freedom and the coming battle of souls.
