The pursuit of evil has great risks, and its results are not good . good review .

I am a fan of fantasy and thrillers. This book with uses of allegory and narrative, with the likes of Pilgrim's Progress, looks to provide a great story with biblical overtones and experiences of spiritual warfare. Look forward to reading and enjoying it like I did Pilgrim's Progress.

Unfortunately, this kind of book is not something I'll read because I don't get into religion books but I definitely recommended to my family members that enjoy such books as this. They will be reading this forsure they sad. You wrote a very wonderful review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel following a group of adventurers on a quest that takes them across the darkness, from Noy to the other side while dealing with a bunch of dark, evil creatures. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

'Official Review: Sword of the Spirit' by Mark A Norris is an informative and knowledgeable description of the book about increasing our ability to remain free from the schemes of darkness! The point that the novel is an allegory of the Christian faith and spiritual warfare believers encounter every day is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the point that the book required meditative thinking to fully assimilate and appreciate the message the author was trying to convey as mentioned in the review is remarkable for readers! I like the way in which the reviewer supports his argument for the author's opinions by bringing in another popular Christian work of fiction! Nice to learn that the tale is chock-full of adventures and subplots that would keep the readers flipping through the pages until they are done!

The author has put a new twist on good versus evil with this unique setting and characters. It was fascinating to see all the similarities you were able to detect between Pilgrim's Progress and also scripture. This looks intriguing!

I haven't come across an adventurous novel that has Christian undertones. Eagan is a character to watch. Good job!

I am finding the author’s writing to be quite descriptive. As well as being a dark fantasy story, it seems to focus on spiritual warfare. For Christian readers it certainly can prompt them to consider things in a way that they may not have before. Thank you for the excellent review on this book.

The concept of the story is uniquely embedded. But this type of story has limited audiences. And I'm off-limit to this type of book. Congrats tho.
