Just finishing up Mortal Coil and although it's not my fave book so far, it certainly tells a very current and realistic story about how easy it is for even the most intentional Christian, maybe even with a 'call' on their life...to slip. It's also a very good reminder that satan IS everywhere, seeking who he can devour. If you're saved, he won't get your forever, but he sure can mess up your testimony for Jesus. Fast paced action and things popping up that i just didn't expect plus believable characters with real reactions keep the pages turning! Highly recommend!!

I loved how scripture was used to teach the reader how to fight against spiritual warfare. Additionally, the story was captivating and exciting. Looking forward to the other books in the series.

Sarah has gone to college as she has always wanted but it is unsettling in ways she had not expected. Landon is contacted by a professor from his old college to complete his degree. He decides to take the three courses needed on line. What they don't realize is that literally all Hell is going to break loose when Landon goes to visit Sarah. I found that the fact that this review was submitted on Pentecost is very apropos to the story line as God gives us guidance through the Holy Spirit.

No matter what is thrown at Sarah and Langdon, they always find themselves choosing the light. Even when temptation comes they find their way back to the light, back to where they belong. Not by themselves, but with the help of others. This is a unique way of helping us understand things that we question or just don’t believe. Well written in an easy flowing manner with great mastery of storytelling!

Oooo was I looking forward to this book! This series has totally captured me. Here's this guy who has no idea who he is, he has "things" after him, there's a miracle performed, there's a woman who believes in him AND there's angels and demons? Yep, what's NOT captivating! After discovering some... unusual truths, Landon and Sarah set off to uncover the truth and good golly were they thwarted every step of the way! Exciting doesn't even begin to cover this book or series, exhilarating is more apt. And this book starts off on a high note for any adrenaline junkie, a plane is on it's way down... to crash.... Oh my word, I know I said adrenaline pumping but good golly, when THAT happened to Landon, I squealed, REALLY squealed! A good something happened, an awesome something happened.... and then it all unravelled....

This author has taken a thriller, a mystery, the Divine, good vs evil to a new height, not only in deeds, in faith itself, presenting a wonderful thrilling story to accompany the religious aspects. What is good? What is evil? Landon, not remembering a thing of who and what he is, goes by gut feels. The author showcases the conundrum to perfection, Landon's conflicting thoughts, Sarah's unfailing faith in God and Landon, Zacharias, a voice of reason and scripture offers sage advice. How true these words are "The enemy is cunning, he doesn't always appear with horns and a pitchfork. Sometimes he comes bearing gifts - fame, influence, adoration". Seeing Landon navigate these dangerous waters, or try to, was an incredible journey. His character resonated with realism, faith, doubt, uncertainty and Sarah, well, now she's the strongest of the strong, not only in her faith, in her conviction too. These two, met by chance, or was it divine intervention? These two, who develop strong feelings for one another, have grown throughout the series, steadily, magnificently, each action and thought bringing them more and more onto a path that's so convoluted. Yet one can't help but be aware, the hand of God is steering them, keeping them safe, keeping the evil at bay. And goodness me, one can't get more evil than Lucifer himself, who, for some reason, needs Sarah....

The author's storytelling and prose is amazingly vivid, extremely compelling and very proficiently penned. Even a simple interview with a journalist has strength, we all know how ruthless reporters can be, like this very apt phrase "she worked like an assassin, every lick of her mouth was like a knife, every subtle bat of the eye like poison" The action, the realness to the story is pulse racing, provocative and edge of seat dramatic. Shoo, at times I felt as though I was in a butter churn being mulled over and over again. But the thread of love is constant, one of hope, of God's blessings and I'm not ashamed to say I cried real tears whenever these scenes came about, the spark they caused grew into an inferno, the sheer emotional faith and hope resonated through every pore, seeping deeply into my bones. Tense, uplifting, dramatic, insightful, empowering, extremely powerful story that I sure as heck felt like bursting out in song by the end of this book, my own faith strengthened.
