Description
What would happen if Satan targeted your family for destruction? If yours is a Christian family, he already has.
Once the stage is set, fast-breaking problems hit Ginger when she transfers to public school from homeschool. Her parents’ response is like Job’s—bewilderment. How could this happen to us? Their sudden problems are as old as the Garden of Eden, played out in modern costume: rebellion, teen romance, peer pressure, materialism, and marital doubt. Blame is assigned everywhere from secular infiltration to spiritual attack. But what lies behind these?
The answers come crystal clear in The Serpent and the Dove, a novel about Christian life in 21st century America. Your teacher is a high-ranking demon warlord who, reminiscent of Screwtape in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, reveals his strategy in attacking the Hendrickson family. Even more, this demon names his cohorts: Paris Marriott—talentless culture star; STV (sex television), a bankrupt public school system, and secular infiltration in myriad form.
Through compelling satire, cliff-hanging suspense, and well-timed humor, the saga will crawl under your skin as the demons take the reader to magical places—a demon city, heaven, hell—while revealing their twisted take on teen society and decaying American culture. Given a break in the action and a bottle of whiskey, they wax nostalgic in flowery discourses, giving the reader ribald "eyewitness” accounts of David and Goliath, God, Satan, among others.
This is an in-depth story of key demons filled with symbolism, and at times humorous character analysis. It is not a formula spiritual warfare novel. If you have any interest in the spiritual realm beyond the usual, don’t miss this one.
