This is the second book of the series of ‘A Well Spring Novel.’ I spent most of last Saturday and finished the book close to Monday at midnight. I was determined to finish the story even though I sacrificed sleep!
Like most books in a series, you can read it as a stand-alone; however, you’ll end up wanting to read the first one to see how the story was told. James L. Rubart is an awesome storyteller. The words were so vivid and clear. I was so immersed that I felt like I was a part of the character’s life. I was in a different world.
The story is about the four members of the Warriors Riding and their fight against the enemy. Each one has their own struggle individually as well as a group. The enemy has found each of their weaknesses and attacked them. Satan is sly, evil, and most of all the Father of Lies. This book explores that spiritual fight that we all deal with. He whispers some truth among the lies, which make it difficult to discern what the truth is, and we can fall for the deception. Reece is the leader of the group but he is blind and the enemy is playing it against him.
The members have choices and their ultimate choice will affect them for eternity. Will they choose the right path? Or will they be deceived into the path of destruction?
The most powerful lesson in this book was the power of forgiveness and learning how to forgive oneself for a past regret or mistake. But it wasn’t the only message in the book. We always know what we want God to do for us. But sometimes God has other plans and is on a different timetable than us. And many times He answers in a way that was totally unsuspected. Or how about our identity? We may be police officers, teachers, or singers but our real identity isn’t in those jobs.
It was amazing to read how James L. Rubart was able to weave all these powerful messages into a story that read seamless like a movie playing. I would highly recommend reading this book for anyone who loves to become part of another world but have the message infiltrate in his or her heart. It’s a book that will leave you still thinking about it the next day.
