“When we pray for the supernatural, why are we surprised when it actually shows up?”
Olivia Stanton always knew the spiritual realm exists. She goes to church and has read about guardian angels. However, when she prays for God to show her her guardian angel. She does not recognize him when he does make his presence known. However, as things begin to happen to her friends she becomes a powerful prayer warrior. I was surprised to see this book handled many sensitive issues teens experience with grace and integrity. Among a few of these issues are cutting, date rape, car accidents, and teenage pregnancy. Ms. Stanley covered this issues with tact and with enough knowledge and tact.
As things continue to occur, Olivia becomes a very powerful prayer warrior for God and calls upon God to send His angels for protection. Although this book deals with both sides of spiritual warfare—angels and demons—it does so with credibility and without sensationalism. This is a YA novel but it changed my prayer life and has led me to think about my own guardian angel. If anyone likes novels about spiritual warfare, this is the book for them.
I am giving this book a 5 star rating because it is well-written and a refreshing change from the Vampire novels that are written for young people today. I am passing this book on the family and friends and hope it changes their lives as it did mine. The only downside of this book for me is once I started reading it, I could not put it down and read farther into the night than I intended. In other words, I got up the next morning still sleepy.
I received this book from Glass Roads without monetary remuneration for a honest review. I was not required to publish a positive review, only one that reflected my opinion. The opinion in this review is solely mine and under no influence by anyone connected with the author or publisher.
