Chronicles of the Host II: Unholy Empire

Summary: Reader from California
Review: Great pick up from the first book--Exile of Lucifer. If you haven't read it you need to read it first. Shafer deals with the massive search and destroy mission carred out by Satan and his troops as they try to stop God's plan of redemption through Israel. Great insight into spiritual warfare and how the enemy operates in the affairs of men and women. I highly recommend it!

Summary: What a Read
Review: Such a cool read! The book picks up after Adam and Eve's fall and moves through to the end of Moses' life. I loved following through the Bible stories with the author. If you are interested in a behind the scenes glimpse into the angel world with the Bible story at its center--you'll love this book!

Summary: Is it really just fiction...
Review: Unholy Empire is the second book of a trilogy that follows the story of how Satan forfeited his place in Heaven--and took a third of the "Host" fellow angels with him.

I thought that I came across this fine book by accident, however,
I am not so sure that God did not lead me to it. The first book is based on what may have actually happened in Heaven during those first days of creation.

The first book totally drew me into the story, and at times I felt as if I was not reading a fictional account on what may have
transpired, but that I was given a ring-side seat to witness the events as they actually took place.

I was hopeful that the second book would live up to its predecessor. I was not disappointed; the second book was fantastic!!. I read through it in a couple of days, the author
D. Brian Shafer has really done his homework, he weaves the story with imagination, creativity, humor and insight.

I must admit that I have not been up on reading the Old Testament in quite a while, however, after reading "Unholy Empire" my interest for reading the Old Testament has been increased.

Also, as a fringe benefit, my walk with God and how I relate to Him has deepened. It has put this verse in a new light for me...
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12 NIV

I cannot recommend this book enough; it is a work of art. And it just may change your life...
