Soul Wars is a novel that demonstrates the various events that everyone deals with from temptations, anger, fear, and death. Soul Wars portrays the life of four individual families and their daily walk with the supernatural, and see whether they will fall or will they succeed. Various spirits gain permission to aggravate a family’s emotions to see how the four families resolve the issues or how they accept each blessing. While this is a novel of fiction, it addresses ideas and thoughts that people deal with every day; things that are common to us all regardless of where one is in their spiritual journey. It is a novel designed to make readers feel like the characters are someone they know, or even themselves.
This novel is not written to be non-fiction, but as fiction novel, it still has some elements that ring true in people’s walks through a spiritual and religious life. Throughout Soul Wars, the characters face challenges from evil entities and are graced with blessings from the good ones. Readers will find themselves feeling connected and attached to each of the characters. One cannot help but long for good things to happen to each person within this story. Everything that each one of the characters go through is something that is realistic and believable, while in many other religious novels the events feel a bit farfetched, not with Soul Wars.
Author Chris Kline has a way of reaching into her readers’ hearts and making them feel something special, something unique that other spiritual writers cannot do. It is hard to read this book and not feel something, or think about your own spiritual struggles and blessings. It is a novel that makes readers sit back and evaluate their walks through spirituality. One does not just get a good story with this book; they get a good lesson as well.
This is the perfect book for someone who is just beginning their spiritual walk, as well as those who are well into their walk, and feel firm in their faith, whatever that faith may be. This is a story that touches readers in their hearts and makes them wonder what activity is active in their lives. This tale is one that is highly recommended and one has to decide if they are ready to face the emotions it evokes as they read it. Chris Kline has written a great novel that deserves to be read.
