Quite often, she is awakened during the night with the urge to sculpt the image of the next person to whom God wants her to minister His love. While she has faithfully followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, she can&#8217;t help but wonder when\u00a0 her atheist husband will be saved. Little does she know that her next few assignments will not only be related but will involve her in a battle for her faith, her marriage, her family, and possibly even her life.<\/p>\n<p>In the tradition of Frank Peretti&#8217;s two &#8220;Darkness&#8221; novels and John Aubrey Anderson&#8217;s more recent series, <em>The Black &amp; White Chronicles, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1616265825\">The Soul Saver<\/a> provides the reader with a fictional account of the very real need for spiritual warfare. Miller graphically illustrates just how far our enemy will go to keep a soul from Christ and the temptations and lies that are designed to trip up even the most faithful believer. Miller&#8217;s characters are well defined with realistic challenges and choices in their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1616265825\">The Soul Saver<\/a> is a gripping story that is not only entertaining but gives us a clear view into the wiles of the devil while reminding us of the real source of power. A story of faith, perseverance, and obedience, the final outcome is victory and redemption. A book that I couldn&#8217;t put down, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1616265825\">The Soul Saver<\/a> has earned a prominent place on my keeper list. I can&#8217;t wait to read what this author has to offer next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, theChristian Fiction Blog Allianceis introducingThe Soul Saver\u2022 Barbour Books (May 1, 2012)byDineen MillerABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dineen Miller readily admits that one of the greatest lessons she\u2019s learning about life is that there\u2019s purpose in our trials.
