Whether you're an adult, a man, or woman, or a young adult, or a teen, or even a kid. This book will change you forever. Even more so if you have read the 8 preceding books and the prequel. First, God gave me a dream. It was like a scene from a movie. I could see clearly what was happening. Heard clearly who was speaking and what they were saying. I woke up in tears. "Write this, " God said. It was a new novel He asked me to write, Book # 9.
But I couldn't. I just couldn't. It wasn't because I'd never had any intentions to add to the series, though that is true, I never intended to do that. It was because what He asked me to write was just too hard, too sad, too heart-wrenching. How could I write that? I didn't understand why God would ask me to write that scene. I cried over this for days. I couldn't refuse God, could I? And I knew it was Him speaking to me.
So, no, of course not, I could not refuse. That night, I prayed, sobbing to the Lord. I told Him how difficult this was for me. I asked for forgiveness for my trying to turn from this hard task. Then I told Him that I would write what He asked, but I asked Him to help me deal with the pain. Still, I told Him, no matter what, I would be obedient and write it. That night God did make it easier, by giving me a new scene.
He showed me a beautiful red-headed girl in handcuffs, sitting on a bench outside of a restaurant, with a police officer standing next to her. Just a little ways away, there stood a young man wearing military fatigues, his face all scratched up, his canvas duffel at his feet, and another police officer speaking to him. The scene woke me up and I sat straight up in bed and heard- "Okay, now- write."I smiled.
This I could write. I knew exactly who the characters were and what was happening in the scene was up to me. It was like God had given me an improv. Here's the scene, now go. This is how DND #9 Circle of Life-In Jesus's Name came to be. You will recognize the scene when you get to it in Chapter Two. God is so awesome. I knew eventually I would have to get around, or come around, to the first scene God had shown me and told me to write; the one that was so heartbreaking.
He was doing it again, taking me all the way around the giant circle to eventually end up back at the beginning, to bring me closer to Him, and to, at the same time, bring all the readers with me. How amazing is He? I love Him so much. Though it is entertaining, it was not written for your entertainment, for we are not here on this Earth to be entertained. As I wrote and re-wrote these books, I realized God was giving us, through story, through allegory, through parable, an illustration of how to live, how to draw close to Him, and mostly, how to train to be His warriors in these last days.
They are a blueprint. They show us how to take His Bible, His Word, His commandments and implement them and integrate them into our contemporary daily, stressed out, trauma-ridden lives. We are surrounded with much violence, darkness, evil in this world, but He has overcome the world. See how it is possible, to be the best husband, the best wife, the best teen, the best kid, the best friend, the best sibling, the best parent, the best person.
Heal and receive blessings. Learn how to be God's warrior, and be blessed to know His true will for you. The books are also encoded, (Jesus' doing, not mine, ) with healing words and prayers for any ailment, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. If there is a teenager in your home, reading this book will help them immensely. Why? You'll see. What God has done here is amazing.
