Press On!

A desperate desire for newness of life and a true heart-oneness with God.  These are the basic motives which involuntarily boil to the surface in the clarity of our conversion moment - that moment when we fully embrace the Lordship of Christ.  Indeed, these desires are actually the birthmark of the redeemed. 

And, the real power for this thorough life renewal does, indeed, come to us in very real terms.  We know it first in the form of a liberating forgiveness through the Dying Christ.  And then, we start to experience it as a daily sustaining by the sufficiency of the Living Christ.  And, the God-designed process which brings the believer to this Christ-enabled newness is truly breathtaking in both its effectiveness and its scope.  

So, the simple purpose of The Re-Awakening Series, a very unique, fiction/ nonfiction, two book set, is to keenly explore, using plain language and modern frames of reference, this authentic redemptive process which leaves us brand new in our character and in our lifestyle realities. 

This wondrous, Christ guided and empowered life experience absolutely liberates not only our soul from the clutches of the Darkness, but also our days from our own disabling brokenness. This has ever been God's redemptive end-game: the restoration of this life-elevating, Christ-sustained, mutually gratifying God/man friendship which was lost so long ago to the treachery of the Darkness.  

Full Disclosure:  

But please, pause here for full disclosure.  I want every prospective reader to understand that these books are devoid of the religious gobbledygook merely born of the usual literary "warm and fuzzy," so popular today. 

The two books of this series are not at all harsh - far from it.  But they are honest, frank, and accurate.  So, if you prefer to simply be stroked or live comfortably in an echo chamber of unchallenged shallowness and religious cliches' - these book will disappoint you.  But, if you are interested in a clear and compelling explanation of God's real redemptive design - an explanation which doesn't leave huge gaps in your understanding - then, indeed, they won't disappoint.

As you weigh these books in your mind, I would also like you to know that my life's purpose is not to sell books.  Nor is it to gain celebrity or wealth. I moved past such motives long ago.  These books are written to bless the reader, not the writer.    

The simple "fire in my bones" is to present authentic redemptive truth to these times - times which seem much more given to pleasant delusions than to the absolute genius and wondrous blessing of God's real redemptive offering in Christ.  These books are merely the product to that divinely given fire. 

   Devil Whispers: (Fiction 167 pgs.) The First Book

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  ~ The Apostle, Peter

The simple reality is this.  Satan is as real as God.  And, he is very intelligent in a thoroughly darkened way.  And, he has now had eons of time to use that tortured intellect to develop many consummate tactics of deception. And, indeed, he has done so. Furthermore, he has also taught these treacherous tactics of spiritual warfare to that hideous legion of demons which follow him – also very real. 

 As a result, humanity has now long suffered under constant psychological assault from this “Legion of the Darkness.” For example, we have been slaughtered by the millions in the wars which Satan’s heartless demons slyly cultivate through their human dupes.  And similarly, we are also regularly convinced to see evil as good and good as evil – thus wrecking our spiritual lives, our bodies, our relationships with both God and man, our life quality, and the good order of our world.

So, we ever bleed and find ourselves trapped in a mire of endless social confusion.  We struggle, both within and without, with chronic chaos of every sort. And, the Darkness continues to convince many of us to push away our benevolent Creator and our Savior.  And, as a result, our souls perish en masse in each new generation.   

And yet, as a species, we remain far too unaware that these chronic, inter-generational devastations are happening by demonic design and through their very deliberate efforts.  We just don’t seem to widely make the serious connection that they are being psychologically cultivated by this dark satanic economy.  

And doubtless, this is largely due to a simple everyday reality.  Satan's devilish ranks are able to shield their own culpability from view by hiding behind the foreground visibility of the human instruments who serve them.

Nevertheless, the satanic economy remains a very real part of the human experience and the redemptive big picture.  Thus, these enemies of our soul and our prosperity of life, wielding their treacherous tactics, should also be carefully scrutinized and exposed as the apostle indicated above. But, indeed, they are illusive.

So, it is because of this hard-to-see / hard-to-grasp nature of the demonic underworld that I chose a fiction format over a non-fiction format for Devil Whispers.  Some things (and certainly this demonic thing) are just better dramatized than merely factually described. 

Every evil work of the Darkness confirms its slippery, slithery nature. So, the light is just much more easily shined on these invisible demonic pot-stirrers and their treacherous work through the greater liberties afforded by a fictional approach.

But, in fact, I wish there existed a book classification called “non-fiction, fiction.” If that was so, I would certainly have chosen it to classify this book.  DW is essentially (and even in much of its detail) an accurate expose´ of the satanic economy.  So, when finished with Devil Whispers, it is all but guaranteed that Satan’s normally very ethereal “Economy of Darkness” will have a much more concrete feel in the reader’s mind than was previously so.

 Spiritual Dynamics: (Non-fiction 161 pgs.) The Second Book 

The two books in this series (or set, if you prefer) can be read individually and/ or in reverse order and they will still render good benefit.  But they are much more beneficial when read together in the intended order:   Devil Whispers first, and then Spiritual Dynamics.

It works like this. Devil Whispers, is essentially a wide-framed, fast-moving historical picture portraying high-points in the human experience in an all-encompassing way.  Which is to say, those key events are shown in both the physical and the metaphysical dimensions as they actually do occur - i.e. simultaneously sharing a cause-and-effect inter-connection. 

Spiritual Dynamics then follows as a clear explanation to accurately interpret, in plain language, this bi-dimensional reality in which we all exist - and too often, hardly understand. But given the seriousness of this subject matter, you will probably be surprised by the tone of Spiritual Dynamics

It is not written in a heavy theological brogue.  Nor does it read like a doctoral thesis. And, it does not employ an oppressive, “thou shalt” overtone. 

Rather, this book is very purposely written in a more everyday language and a fairly light inflection to facilitate a more relaxed flow of its vital and valuable insights. And, regarding those insights, Spiritual Dynamics is truly a fresh step forward as an expose' of God’s thoroughly life-renewing redemptive process.  

Indeed, this book has a tremendous capacity to broaden the reader’s practical understanding of the full scope of the glorious thing which God is really up to in Christ.  SD is truly a stimulating personal or group study text if your looking for a full and accurate awareness of that more ethereal reality which surrounds us.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”  It is a simple and biblical concept.  And, Spiritual Dynamics shows the reader precisely how, through both the Dying and the Living Christ, to correctly and fully engage this idea.  And, in so doing, it enables the reader to experience the sheer joy of an intimate, empowering, and completely fulfilling divine friendship every single day.

Obviously, wrong roads lead to wrong places. But Spiritual Dynamics is like a literary GPS serving but one simple command input - this command, “Take me safely home to God and a true newness of life.”
