Spirit Fighter





Author: Jerel Law
Release Date: April 3, 2012


What if Nephilim-the children of angels and men-still walked the earth? And their very presence put the entire world in danger? In Spirit Fighter, Jonah and Eliza Stone learn that their mother is a Nephilim and that they have special powers as quarter-angels. When their mom is kidnapped by fallen angels, they must use those powers to save her. Along the way, they discover that there is a very real and dangerous war going on between good and evil and that God has a big part for them to play in that war.
    The nephilim were supposed to be these terrible beasts who came about when Angels lusted after the daughters of man. They were supposed to have been long since erased from the Earth allowing man to lead a more peaceful existence, but what if this weren't entirely true? What if those offspring still roamed the Earth, unnoticed by man, and producing "quarterling" offspring of their own? This is where the story of Jonah and Eliza Stone begins. When their mother is kidnapped by dark forces for reasons unknown, the Stone kids learn that she was Nephilim and God has assigned them the task of retrieving her before Lucifer's plan be realized.
 
     Armed with faith and a few angelic talents, the children set off on a perilous journey. Along the way, these two are faced with obstacles that many of us battle everyday, and voice some very real questions. "Why would a loving God allow so much pain?" "Where is He when I need him most?" "How can such a small person create the kind of change that He seems to expect of me?" With the guidance of a Guardian Angel, the children find all of there answers and more in scripture. They learn just how powerful faith can be. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." This is the first book in a new series which is meant to bring the bible to a younger generation in a new and exciting manner.
 
     I LOVED this book, I feel that it would truly help children to learn about God's love and help them to understand the spiritual side of the world more than simply memorizing scripture ever could by simply providing a context. Children can relate to the main characters and their challenges, and will of course be more receptive to the lessons the novel has to offer. Who knows, maybe it will inspire a few to pick up the good book now and I again. I know I had mine by my side the whole time! ;)
