[…]brought forth by Fr. Barron, as they apply to Christian spirituality, are insightful and lead us to examine our own metal as Christians. After watching the video, I visited the Youtube channel to look at some of the comments. In some cases, I felt like they were discussing edgy Christian fiction. I’ve included a couple of these comments at the bottom of this post. One of the things I took away from reading through the comments on the movie review was the vast difference in point of views of what was acceptable to some Christians and what was not acceptable […]
[…]Rated-R) content and themes. I applaud books with this quality because they have the ability to entertain Christians and non-Christians alike. Brent Weeks is a great ‘big-name’ example of an author who exemplifies this type of fiction. Read the Night Angel trilogy. Now. In fact, my good friend Paeter Frandsen did an audio interview with Brent Weeks where Brent speaks about his clear Christian faith. Check it out here. The stigma that I see going around is that the term ‘Christian fiction’ just isn’t well-accepted in non-Christian circles. I know some of it is because some people are just […]
[…]race. Rowen and Caleb must find their way along the dark path set before them by their ancestors: to heal what was wounded and love where hatred grows. But the road is narrow and the darkness beckons. If either of them fails, all will be lost… And the human race will be no more. Book three of the Follower of the Word […]

[…]plan as revealed through Scripture. Fourteen-year-old Archer Keaton discovers he has the ability to enter and explore his dreams. He is a dreamtreader, one of three selected from each generation. Their mission: to protect the waking world from the Nightmare Lord, who wreaks chaos in the Dream World. But as Archer’s dreams become more dangerous and threatening, so too does his waking life. Rigby Thames, the new kid from England, builds a suspicious rock star-like following at Dresden High School a little too quickly. Even Archer’s best friend and confidant, Kara Windchil, seems taken in by the cool guy with […]
[…]especially Dominar. Even those, such as Nikolai, who struggle with character traits of integrity and forgiveness, attract the reader’s empathy and support. If there is a glue that binds everything together in this novel, it is the spiritual aspects. Hebert does not hide his love of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is where his love of Jesus shines through and reflects his personal relationship with Jesus. He has not hidden the biblical truths of forgiveness, salvation, repentance, God’s agape/unconditional love, biblical spiritual warfare. None of it comes across as preachy or condescending. I believe it would not […]
[…]Review: I discovered this short via a Helping Hands Press email advertising the book and author. I bought it as soon as it was released. This is a very short read of 33 pages and is the debut writing from this author. I really liked this short volume. It shows a lot of promise in what it sets out as far as characters, plot and intrigue are concerned. I can see that there will be some spiritual warfare topics arising in future volumes, good versus evil, demon gods, one introduced as Varen, against the One True God, known as Ghaedesh-Mor. There […]
[…]most depraved. Except, of course, when I’m just having fun. In addition to acquiring the husband and children, I also picked up a number of languages along the way, along with a rather diverse, some would say fragmented, resumé. I’ve waited tables, cleaned furnaces, taught English as a Second Language, been a pastor’s wife in a small church (a job in and of itself), sold life insurance and mutual funds, developed market forecasting models, and spent some years homeschooling. I love music and gardening and animals and kids and food and travelling and life in general. When I was seventeen, […]
[…]2 is being released next week. In this first episode, the author sets the scene for what is to come. She introduces the main character, Marie Adams, and her gift of dream premonition. Apparently, in her past, what she had dreamed came to pass and not with nice outcomes. In this opening scene, she dreams of an evil overtaking her town and controlling people resulting in them killing themselves. Over the course of 24 hours following her dream, her town has these so called suicides and other serious crimes, such as armed robbery, rape. The author effectively sets the foundation […]
[…]for your classes. All of this is such common knowledge for those of us in Coventree, it’s easy to forget that students in the Southlands would not know. The process usually begins when a witch or magician goes looking for an apprentice, although in some cases the parents of the child take the initiative. The child is usually about twelve at the time, although exceptions can be made. I myself was only nine. It still astonishes me that my mother allowed it. Strong preference is given to children who are Mageborn, and apprentices with no wizarding background will find it […]
