This really is a truly amazing book. If you have ever wondered what happened to Lucifer, God's second in command, this book will tell it to you beautifully. Its descriptions make you actually feel you are in heaven with the angels or even wish you had been there then. This book has helped me to go back and read the bible with more interest and not as a duty. A few examples of areas I have gone back to read with more understanding are: The book of Revelations, especially chapter 12, The book of Daniel: His visons, Genesis:the story of creation and the temptation and many more... It has also made me understand what it really means by Jesus shedding his blood for our sins. I do not want to give anything away but I now have a better understanding of the implications of our sins and why despite people's relationship with God, one still succumbs to the power of sin which is described as Lucifer's way of continuously punishing God for creating man. A truly amazing book and I look forward to the second part of it and hope to meet the writer some day as she is truly gifted.
Highly recommended.

In this world where people's intelects have been tainted to tend to believe fiction over fact due to television, I tend to hesitate when someone says that a fiction book changed their life.

However, it was not through reactions to this book that I was drawn to it, but it was through an interview with Wendy Alec that I decided to take my precious time and attempt to read this book THE FALL OF LUCIFER.

What most people do not remember or know is that The author of the Harry Potter Series claimed that she was dictated the Harry Potter series in her kitchen and put them in a vault to release over time (I heard her say this in person- it was not through other people's recounts of what she said). The books are so "dangerously close to reality" according to many who are high up in the wiccan realm that they have had many high level wiccans very upset that this book is putting the most powerful spiritual concepts into the hands of unskilled and inexperienced children who can so easily abuse them. They have had to develop counseling lines in England to handle the enormous requests that these *fiction* books have engendered toward the wiccan religion.

I always find it amazing how people can think nothing of this kind of claim about a book or book series when it comes to a book like Harry Potter, but when someone else says it about a book that is about biblically based things, it is put down terribly.

Wendy Alec said that this book flowed so easily that it was like it was being written through her and not BY her. It was not the claim, but her manner that drew me to this book.

When I came here to Amazon, and read some of the reviews, I knew that I had to try it.

The Fall of Lucifer is a fiction book which takes place through the other side of the looking glass so to speak. Instead of being on earth viewing the heavenly kingdom and the pre-adamic wars in heaven, the reader is looking through the other side of the looking glass from the heavenly perspective- and then down at earth when it is created.

This kind of perspective is very hard to pull off successfullly. As I read this book, many times I shook my head in disbelief at the way that this book ebbed and flowed like it had a life of its own- as if it were a story being told by someone with inside knowledge of what really happened.

In essence, this story starts with the angels and the Triune Godhead living in the first heaven. It describes the life that they had together, and then shows how a seed of evil began to take root in Lucifer- one of the three brothers on the angelic trio- Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer.

Each was created to fulfill an important position, but they lived in harmony until this seed of evil began to germinate in Lucifer. It had to do with the creation of man to be close with Jah (God the Father) and the jealousy that began to take root in Lucifer.

A glimpse of the pre-adamic dwelling of Christos (known to western culture as Jesus) in the first heaven and his standing there is very insightful. The great war in heaven which involved 1/3 of the angels choosing to follow Lucifer was effectively portrayed- not everyone wanted to go , but they were confused at their loyalties, having never been confronted with these types of choices until that point.

The origins of hell and the original purpose are put out for the readers inspection. The creation of Man and Woman and their relationship to the earth as owning the deed there lays out well the reason that Lucifer (name changed to satan to indicate his desire to be king of his own domain- now hell) HAD to get Adam and Eve to bow to him INSTEAD of Jah (God the Father) is very well laid out.

The whole reasoning behind the Jesus visiting earth, His death and ressurection is explained in a way that I have never seen before in any book- ficton or otherwise- all in one place.

The book leaves off with a sequel in the offing, but does not leave the reader feeling lost.

My impressions of this book over all are- the beginning is very hard to follow for me because of all of the different unusual names there- I had a hard time keeping them all straight. Eventually, I managed, but I will be reading it again to make it easier this time.

I found that reading this book went quickly and kept me reading- I rarely get to read books anymore. I had to put it down several times in the course of a few days, but it was easy to pick up and resume without having to read it all over again, another big plus.

Every book has their head scratching moments, and this book had a couple, but for the most part, I found it profoundly insightful, and like I sad at the beginning of this review, it was like the story took on a life of its own and I could feel it weaving itself around me as I read this book. Evil suddenly takes on a whole new level of perspective as does the constant battles on all fronts to snuff out Christianity and Judiasm through each generation. Every attempt to destroy Christianity carries the trademark of satan each time behind the faces that are used to try to accomplish this task.

Many questions and curiosities that I have had filed for years suddenly made sense. It has affected me deeply and I am amazed that someone like Wendy Alec could write a book with this much intensity and accuracy- but then again, like JKRawlings once did- Wendy Alec did not assert that she wrote it alone........


This is one of the highest impacting books that I have read in a very long time. I can not recommend it highly enough.

I have to say right off that this is certainly one book you do not want to miss reading. Author Wendy Alec has taken the age old story of the rebellion of Lucifer and brought it to life in a way you will never forget.
You are taken into the very heart of God's angelic angels, Michael, Gabriel and of course Lucifer and you are transported in the very heavenlies. You will experience deep emotions, sense the depth of God's love and feel His hurt and you will grasp a deeper understanding of a rebellion that touches mankind even to this day.
Let me tell you, this is one outstanding read, the visual you will experience in your mind by the excellent definition of characters and locations will blow your mind, exceptional. Powerful from start to finish, a work that touches the very core of mankind's existence and given one of my highest recommendations.

I have read Brothers The Fall of Lucifer by Wendy Alec and became absolutely engrossed in it. The Story captivates you from the start and does not stop at all. You want to read book two now and feel the need to read it again straight away. A book of fiction that takes you into a new field of belief over the very making of mankind and good verses evil. The Three archangels are brothers that are so close nothing can break their bond, however, Lucifer the bringer of light and Cheif Archangel does not like how his Father, The Lord Alminghty, is creating mankind and to coin a frase " All Hell breaks loose ". You simply have to read this book because of the very nature and the way Wendy Alec has been blessed in writing it. I feel that this will become the very core foundation of the way in which fiction novels should be written and stories told. Outstanding.

Anyone who read "Chronicles of the Host" can tell that this is simply a more opulent version of that same story, as both stories begin with Gabriel's coronation.

Also the author needs to get some basic science terms correct:
1. Note to the author: Galaxies are smaller than universes, and universes are not the same as solar systems. Stop using the terms galaxies and universes interchangeably.
2. Angels are silicon-based lifeforms, but silicon is not a spiritual based material as described.
3. The human genetic code awes the angels with its complexity, but they forget to realize that the genetic code of all organisms is more or less as complex as that of a human.

Character development, please. Eve instantly turns evil, with nary a snide comment from Lucifer. Lucifer himself jumps from being all depressed about God abandoning angels, to being all egotistical, without any coherent explanation as to why. Also he kills his pet panther for absolutely no reason, then cries about it. Lame scene. What, we're in heaven with machines that can create galaxies and codify genetic structures for life itself and everything, but we can't bring a dead cat back to life?

There's a laughable scene in the beginning where an archeologist discovers the writings which comprise this book. His filthy, sinful, Muslim assistants touch them and get incinerated (As the author can't resist the opportunity to fry some heathens). The archeologist doesn't react at all to blatant supernatral slayings of human beings right in front of him. He just steps over their burned corpses obliviously and says something like "We finally found the angelic writings." Yeah, never mind about the dead guys or spontaneous pillars of flame that can incinerate people, the cool writings are what's of immediate importance.

Also there is the retarded concept of angel "younglings," who are small, cute and get into trouble and get their heads stuck in machines in heaven's laboratories, as if they Santa's elves. What is this heaven?, or a cartoon series? Hogworts? Willy-Wonka's chocolate factory?

I am not a huge, fiction fan and I only tend to read it if the story line truly interests me. There have always been two prominent themes expressed with fiction that I have found fascinating, History and Biblical History. I know that Wendy Alec gets a lot of flack from the naysayer's concerning God t.v. and her support of Todd Bentley, however I truly felt upon reading this book that the author had a fully literate understanding of the Judeo Christian God's love for mankind and the sacrifice he made by sending himself to die for his creation to quench his own thirst for justice when no one else would fit the job. As I read earlier, it was clear to me that Wendy was more so telling Christ's story in the book rather than Lucifer's. It was a great read.

I have just finished reading this book for the second time - I could not put it down.I noticed smaller details the second time around I didn't see on the first reading.
The book is not written in a religious manner, it is not full of biblical quotations and theories. It can be read and enjoyed by Christians and non Christians alike.
As a Christian, it made me think of the deep emotional turmoil of the characters that I had not thought about before,the heartbreak and compassion of God and Jesus,how jealousy can totally destroy, and how evil can take hold .At times I even felt sorry for Lucifer...I just kept wanting him to say sorry...he wanted to, but didn't...it could have been so different!
Can't wait for the sequel!

I read this book when it first came out and was checking on line to see if the sequel had come out yet. I thought it was coming out the first part of this month. Although it's very descriptive, I found the descriptions intriguing. I loved the story line, also. It gives one a little look into what caused Lucifer to fall, and what, unfortunately, causes each of us to fall, also. A great read. I loved the book!

This book was quite entertaining. I really like the concept of not being able to actually look upon the face of God as he is too Holy. I also really like the focus on free will. Lucifer represents the fall of Man as he thinks he knows better than God what should be the plan for eternity. The jealousy Lucifer had that Man would be able to procreate and Angels cannot was quite compeling. A great read. Couldn't put it down.

The book about how Lucifer, prince regent and eldest brother. Yehovah's viceroy. Imperial. Passionate. Most adored of heaven. falls to the power of evil and becomes the most hated Fallen Angel in Earth. The Adversary of God--Satan, The Devil. The book tells a tale like no other, and this book is very good, i felt anger, I felt sad, I felt joy. It was an amazing feeling and I can't wait for Book 2...I'm so getting it opening day.
