This is a really thought provoking, spirit stirring adventure. The book deals with four people chosen by God to war against the fallen angels that try to control and destroy people's lives. They are being trained by a man who is experienced in spiritual warfare but hides a tragic past that makes him reluctant to return to the fight after so long. All of them need healing from past experiences that bind them from fulfilling God's will in their lives, but none more than the man who is training them. This is a story about spiritual freedom in Christ. It is fictional but brings with it many truths and promises of the Bible.
The concept of entering another person's soul to heal and help that person was of course not scriptural, however it did illicit a spiritual response. The author in his notes admits that he doesn't believe that entering a soul is possible, but other concepts cited are very scriptural.
Soul's Gate kind of makes you wonder what your soul would look like if you could wander in and look around. What would someone else see? What walls and lands have we built up as defenses to try to keep God from breaking through and setting us free? I like the way the story moved right along and kept returning to challenge me with the question: If this happened during Biblical times, why can't these things be possible now? I understand that James L. Rubart has written other books that deal with the spiritual warfare that goes on around us all the time. I feel like God was using the hand of this author to challenge us to be free and tear down the strongholds of the enemy. I am looking forward to reading other books from Mr. Rubart soon.
