Holy Fire (The Unfallen Series #6) [E-BOOK]

In Holy Fire, the Truth Seekers are faced with a new faith threat—an inspired student preaching of the rapture. But is he a fervent young man, solid in his beliefs, or another tool of evil? And can Landon, Sarah, and Vanessa challenge this new barrier to their teachings without losing their love and faith?
Inspiring and educational. Judah's faith-based debates show differing teleological ideas without shaming narratives the author does not believe. Great characters and informational – it calls you to challenge and consider your own beliefs.

This 6th suspense filled christian thriller is a real must read, as in this book Landon, Sarah and their friends are tested to their limits. Another group of students is preaching the end of times approach, and fear is ramping up on campus causing great worry to Landon's group, the truth seekers. They try to use debate to defuse the situation, however soon realise that there is no reasoning with fanatics, and they start to fear there might be more behind Nicholas the mouthpiece being used. Demons are relentless, and it seems they plan far ahead, down to the last detail, and are ready to re-use people like Langdon and Vanessa who had already been cleansed through exorcism. The plan being hatched is truly diabolical, and many people stand to lose their lives if the plan succeeds. However will our group of young students be able to stop an event planned on the other side of the world in so short a time? They never waiver in their faith, and believe that though the devil may plan, God's plan always supercedes those of the dark side, and it is this faith which pulls them through. This book is full of nerve wrecking moments, as well as very trusting moments which believers will really enjoy reading about.

I enjoyed this story immensely. I enjoy that each battle is different. Involves different characters, different weaknesses, different strengths. I appreciate that each character joins the cause and has something to offer. Well written and thought provoking.

Received as an ARC, I am leaving my honest review. Shortly after reading the first few chapters I became totally immersed into the plot and the suspense filled storyline. The more I read, the deeper the pull until I could not put it down. Beautifully written, gripping, with tension filled moments that were breath holding at first, then as everything played out it had me really thinking hard about what the scriptures really mean. The destructive elements of the demons plotting to use Nicholas as their catalyst for their own agenda really drove home the need to remain vigilant in my faith and to beware of false prophecy. I absolutely loved the epic ending that had me cheering as I teared up in happiness. I am so looking forward to the next story!

I relished diving into the next edition of this series, I hung on to every word, following horrific events of previous book, as Landon, Sarah, Zacharias and Father Sciplini breathe a sigh of relief, their faith, overcame the distaster that could have been. But....Rapture theology is doing it's rounds, destructively, and Landon is once more in the centre of things. I enjoyed the characters immensely, their growth, both personal and spiritual, unfolding with each page. Landon, Sarah, Vanessa, as well as Father Sciplini and Zacharias have forged a bond, a beautiful found family.
Doomsday conspiracy is in full swing at the university, mainly thanks to Nicholas Langley, who is ploughing fear, doom and destruction in anyone who will listen. So many of the students, having just survived the demon possessions, are ripe for his misconstrued preaching, and it's leaving a toll of fear in it's wake. Landon, Sarah, Zacharias and Father Sciplini see the harm it's doing but, "The human desire for certainty in uncertain times is powerful.” resonates, loudly. And Vanessa, recently being "liberated" of her possession, is angry. Angry enough to play a prank, a cruel prank actually, which no one could deter her from. The results of which, had far reaching consequences. As Father Sciplini said,
“Truth must be advanced with love, not cruelty.” Except, the truth, when it does come out, is one riddled with holes, ammunition by someone else's hand.

Oh gosh, where this author took the story, how he twisted it, and upped the stakes was a head spin! As always, Judah Lamb presents an provocative, thought provoking read. He throws in theology, he adds mystery, he adds soul to the plot and the characters. The truth in this statement cannot be denied, “Truth must be advanced with love, not cruelty.” Most importantly, one must remember, God is not a vengeful god" as some feel fit to believe. God is love, God gives of His love freely. God is mercy. The truth might set people free, but first they had to want freedom more than they wanted the strange comfort of fear. This is hardly a purely Christian fantasy, this is about conspiracies, about certain agendas, about manipulation, wielding the word of God as a weapon and a group of unlikely allies who resonate with truth, with love, with values. Immersive, exciting, thrilling, a touch of danger, angels, demons and an awesome cast to boot!
