Musings From Inside the Hobbit Door: Soul Gate

Thanks to Litfuse Publicity for a free copy of this book in return for my honest review.

I received this free book from Litfuse via NetGallery. Now, here is the thing. NetGallery lets you read books before they are published. It seems to me that in the process of getting a digital copy of a book before it is published means you must put up with some inconsistencies in formatting. I'm sure the published print and e-version will be easier to read.

However, all formatting issues aside, this book was awesome! I found myself hurrying through random blank "pages" on my Kindle to get to the story. It is quite a long book-400 pages, but I didn't notice. In fact, when I finished it, I felt like it had just begun! I am excited for the next books in the series, there is so much more to be told of this story. I think that I read so fast, gulping the words down, that I may need to go back and savor the book a bit more.

The characters made sense to me. Their stories rang true and I could relate to their struggles. While it sounds a lot like a Frank Peretti or Ted Dekker book, all spiritual warfare and mysterious. It really is a book about freedom. About letting God heal our wounds and living in the freedom of His grace and love.

I wanted to read this book both because of its content and story line but also because the author is from the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I love reading local authors. It was fun to read about places that I know, local places. It added quite a bit to the book for me.

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.
