BOOK REVIEW: SOUL'S GATE by JAMES L. RUBART






Soul's Gate
by
James. L. Rubart

About the Book . . . 


Book 1 in the Well Spring series.

“Every now and then we get a break from reality. A glimpse into the other world that is more real than the reality we live in 99 percent of our days. The Bible is about a world of demons and angels and great evil and even greater glory.”

What if you could travel inside another person’s soul? To battle for them. To be part of Jesus healing their deepest wounds. To help set them free to step boldly into their divinely designed future.

Thirty years ago that’s exactly what Reece Roth did. Until tragedy shattered his life and ripped away his future.

Now God has drawn Reece out of the shadows to fulfill a prophecy spoken over him three decades ago. A prophecy about four warriors with the potential to change the world . . . if Reece will face his deepest regret and teach them what he has learned.

They gather at a secluded and mysterious ranch deep in the mountains of Colorado, where they will learn to see the spiritual world around them with stunning clarity—and how to step into the supernatural.

Their training is only the beginning. The four have a destiny to pursue a freedom even Reece doesn’t fully fathom. But they have an enemy hell-bent on destroying them and he’ll stop at nothing to keep them from their quest for true freedom and the coming battle of souls.

Reader Review . . . 

Reece Roth has learned how Christians can truly intercede for one another; battle for one another on the most personal level, within one's soul.  This knowledge did not come without a cost.  Thirty years ago, he paid the ultimate price while teaching others how to enter a soul.  Now, thirty years later, God is fulfilling a prophecy by bringing him back to train four new warriors.  

Not since Ted Dekker's The Circle series have I been this hooked!  James Rubart's new Well Spring series is spiritual warfare, sci-fi, and time travel all mixed together.  It's as if the author was watching Doctor Who and wondered what would it be like if the Doctor was a Christian, zooming across time and space and battling demons? I'm not saying that he did, but however he arrived at the idea, it works!  One of my favorite quotes from the book is when Marcus is explaining how God is not restricted by time:

"Since God exists everywhere, He exists in those moments we can't measure.  He is outside of time, He's outside of distance.  He can transverse from one point in the universe to the other with no time having passed because He's already there."

Yes, this is a fictional novel, but that is not fiction.  That is awesome truth.  God is everywhere and He has existed and does exist and will exist in all time.  It makes my head feel funny if I think about it too long.  Anyway, if you want a book that makes you think, or if you've been bored by the majority of the books you've found in the Christian fiction aisle, here is the book for you.  Meanwhile, I'll be the one camped out waiting for Book 2.

I give this book the highest compliment a  Whovian can give....
