Battling the Powers of Darkness, April 2, 2009
This review is from: Fire and Sword (Chronicles of the Host) (Chronicles of the Host (Numbered)) (Paperback)
"Fire and Sword" is the fifth book in the "Chronicles of the Host" series. D. Brian Shafer continues in this exciting battle between good and evil. Lucifer and his angels strategize their next steps in their attempt to thwart the influence of Christ and His followers.
Shafer's descriptive word pictures brought a new realism to Paul's prison cell in Rome and insight into the parchment, quill, and ink process of his correspondence with the churches of the New Testament. During Luke's visits with Paul in prison, he fills Paul in on the recent events in Jerusalem regarding the amazing ministry Peter and the other apostles are experiencing.
The book backtracks to give an account of Paul's encounter with Steven and his stoning, and of his own conversion. Shafer follows with an account of the apostles' ministry as recorded in the book of Acts and of Paul's encounters while on his missionary journeys.
Conversations among the angles representing the powers of darkness clearly picture Lucifer's deceit and plans to dupe man by obscuring truth and with offers of worldly pleasure, and power. The archangels and the angelic hosts teach valuable lessons through their stimulating dialog.
Using creative, dramatic, and imaginative fiction as his platform, Shafer provides a brilliant balance of combining scriptural truth with literary license. His writing is Biblically sound, spiritually enlightening, and mentally invigorating.
"Fire and Sword" is a must read for anyone who enjoys historical Christian fiction, with a hint of fantasy and Science fiction. A great read.
