The Ishbane Conspiracy

So, I finished "The Ishbane Conspiracy" by Randy Alcorn this weekend. It was a great book. As I mentioned previously, it is the sequel to "Lord Foulgrin's Letters". I even quoted some of the great thoughts from Alcorn in a previous post "Balancing Grace & Truth."

Why you need to pick it up?
  • As a parent, it is talking about issues that teenagers and college students are dealing with.
  • It shows the importance of being involved in your kids' lives on a regular basis.
  • Shows the dangers of alcohol, drugs, premarital sex, suicide, Ouija Boards, & witchcraft.
  • Reinforces the impact personal evangelism and the church have on society.
  • Entertaining and informative look at spiritual warfare.
Let me close with a quote from "Lord Foulgrin's Letters" since I had to return "The Ishbane Conspiracy" to the library. Lord Foulgrin (demon) writes, "If all the Bibles in America were simultaneously dusted, the sun would be obscured for a week. It's not a magic talisman that works without being read. A Bible does us no harm as long as it remains closed."

Take the challenge from Lord Foulgrin and pick up your Bible today and read what God's Word has to say to you.

    Bible reading is certainly something that I struggle with. Thanks for the admonition.
