Chronicles of the Host

Loved this series by D. Brian Shafer. I waited until I received all books before I started reading and was captivated by the story. I recommend this series.

Truth, freedom, and consequences under God!

This book is a wonderful look at the results of the free choices allowed to both angels and people. It shows not only the thought patterns and rationalizations behind "doing your own thing," but also shows that when you choose to go against God's established righteousness, there are consequences. You are free to stick your hand in the fire, but you are going to get burned. There is a wide and interesting cast of characters in this angelic drama set in Heaven and finally on Earth. This is before, during, and just after man's creation by God. The author did a good job of making the characters come alive. This novel is basically a fictional account of what could have happened during a time that the Bible has said little about. I wouldn't have pictured a few nuances of what the author presented the same way, but that is what makes works by various authors interesting--the difference in how we perceive things for which we don't know the details. Overall, the author did an outstanding job and I was with him! I believe the description of man's fall was well done and I didn't get the feeling that Eve was dumb, just innocent, as well as Adam--especially when faced with the powerful, yet twisted logic of Lucifer. The one thing this book excels at is getting you to think about the nature of free choice in the light of one's responsibilty to the Lord and love for Him, or lack thereof. I definitely recommend this novel and I will soon buy the next three in the series! Give this one a shot!

It's all about perspective....

Not since C.S. Lewis' THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS has the veil been lifted to expose us to the spiritual realm. Typically, when I ask my students what happened before the creation of the world, most stare back with blank faces and say, 'Nothing.' Not any more. This book clearly describes the spiritual world before the creation of the physical. The spiritual laws and the principles of dominion transfer are absolutely foundational for understanding God's universal plan and purpose. Thanks Brian Schafer for this macro view of the spiritual/physical realm interface which is very timely. I have to confess, my first thought was that this story would make a great movie......who needs the movie after realizing that we are participants in the greater story, because the battle rages on.

Sure to Be a Classic

This book has inspired me in so many ways. The theology, dialog and characters are believable. And it makes sense! Anyone interested in a "could-be" version of what happened in heaven before Lucifer's fall needs this book. I can't wait to get into the Unholy Empire.

Excellent Read

This book grabs you from the very start. I read it cover to cover almost without stop. The descriptions are great and I loved the dialog. Lucifer's council meetings are like a James Bond villain planning his subtle plots complete with sarcastic witticisms and wonderful banter. Also--even though I knew how it would turn out it held me spellbound. Get it!
