The Spirit War is an epic Life of Jesus parable. Epic in that it is a modern yet biblically based version of the greatest true story ever told - with all its human, angel and Godly struggles, guts and glory. A parable in that the tale is fantasy based on truths, told in a simple manner, to engage and captivate contemporary readers while presenting deep realities clearly. As a complement to the Gospels, the purpose of The Spirit War is to make a simple but compelling case for faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Redeemer of us all. Should you choose to read and enjoy The Spirit War apart from the Bible, Healing and Redemption will show you every important person and event concerning Jesus's earthly ministry that is in the four Gospels. The word Gospel means good news. The Gospel message is that the Messiah suffered as a means to glorious victory, and that He invites each of us to share in that triumph. This worldview - which many modern readers consider too good to be true - is precisely what has given the Christian message its staying power over the centuries. Large sections of dialogue in Healing and Redemption will be familiar to Gospel readers. Outstanding New Testament sections directly quoted include the entire Sermon on the Mount from Matthew, and Jesus's adversarial dialogues with temple priests and rabbis from John. The relevancy for our time of teachings and arguments that took place 2100 years ago may surprise modern readers. The Crucifixion is taken to a whole different level, as a direct duel between the Son of God and Satan. An unfair duel, in which the Devil got to choose crucifixion as his weapon. But in spite of its horror, the death of Jesus was not the end, but the beginning. A triumphant reckoning follows, to which the phrase "all Hell breaks loose" applies literally. In Book 3 Jesus's loved ones and disciples must each fight his or her individual spirit war. All are challenged to hold love and hope over hate and fear. All, both angel and human, break through from darkness to light - along with their victorious, risen, alive forever Redeemer
