Easter Season... Chapters 17 through 20
Happy Easter season! I hope you had a nice holiday. I've been busy with work and preparing for a book fair that's taking place in Falls Church, Virginia on Saturday April 5th. If you're in town, you should come by. I'm giving away two first-class US postage stamps with every purchase of my book. I found a website that can make stamps out of whatever jpeg you submit to them, so the stamps are the cover-art of The Twelfth Window. Otherwise, the promotion makes no sense, LOL. You may find out more information about this event by visiting www.twelvewindow.com and looking at the calendar section.
I am always glad to remind you that The Twelfth Window is for sale on major bookstore online sites as well as www.amazon.com . I believe that the progress made (as far as publicity of the book) so far is from God.
So, on to chapters 17, 18, 19 and 20 of The Twelfth Window. As mentioned in a previous post, chapter 17 begins Act III of the story. Chapters 17, 18 and 20 were meant to address the start of backsliding (not to be confused with falling away!) of both an individual Christian and the House of Israel. It seems that even when things are going well in our walk with God, something in human pridefulness makes it all go awry. You start to notice that you are not the same you, the world is moving and you seem to be standing still, regardless of the fact that you have never been happier or more filled with joy in your entire life.
The main character's refusal to talk things over honestly with the right people leads to a widening of the gap. I meant the cold gust of wind to presage the winter of the soul. For a young reader, I wanted to impart the message--without sounding uncool--that being in the "in" crowd is not the be-all/end-all. Let the "in" crowd stand in as "the world."
Chapter 19 is another purely spiritual chapter where I endeavored to show how perhaps the backsliding of the human soul or the House Of Israel just might parallel the fall of the bad angels from Heaven. Since this is a fantasy story, I took a few liberties but the spirit of the story is still scriptural (references Luke 10:18 and Romans 11:34).
Happy reading, and more next time!
