Prodigal's Steps: The True Story of a Family's Desperate Flight Back Home (The Prodigal Journey, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

..........."As I've mentioned, the problem with seeing the world through worldly eyes is that evil disappears from your view. Yet it never really disappears. You think that you are walking in a kingdom of light, but in reality, you are walking in the wrong kingdom and you don't even know it. And the problem with walking in the wrong kingdom is that sometimes that kingdom can come and start to walk in us. We may not even realize it - but sooner or later - we begin to figure it out."................

The James Family had it all: Dad, a dashing Navy fighter pilot, now skillfully flying commercial planes; Mom, a compassionate small town attorney with her own law firm. Their 4 children completed the picture: smart, athletic, successful, beautiful. This is the perfect story of how, by American standards, they had finally 'arrived'. Yet, it is also the story of how while living the American Dream, they woke up in a nightmare. And in this nightmare, life unraveled as they desperately fought to save their children - from hell itself. Join them as they equip you for the same battle.

............"... never in a million lifetimes would I have guessed that within 2 short years...; I would be back at the little cottage... and that I would have one hand holding desperately to Christ and the other trying to pull my daughter back from the pits of hell. I was in a tug-a-war with demonic creatures that I had had no clue of until they manifested - and attacked. All I knew was that I could not let go - if I was dragged into hell itself. I would not, and could not, let go. For this was my child, flesh of my flesh and heart of my heart. Even though I no longer recognized her - I knew that she was in there somewhere. And if Satan had her captive, then by gum, he had me too; but unlike Rachel - I was still able to fight.".............

I am a fairly predictable person: a woman of steady habits raised in the land of steady habits New England. If left to myself, I would be found with a good book and a cup of tea. Unfortunately, with four children, I am rarely left to myself. I am, in other words, a predictable person living an unpredictable life. Children will do that to you. One minute you're sitting there, drinking your tea and reading something like 'How to organize your life in 10 easy steps'. The next minute you answer the phone and you are living 'How to keep your life from spinning out of control in 1 frantic step'. It ain't easy. But that's motherhood yet apparently not ALL motherhood. I have friends (also mothers) who tell me that they are living vicariously through my stories. My stories, and my children, often make for a good laugh. Usually afterward. And always because I believe a good laugh outranks a good cry. It wasn't always this way. There was a time in my life when I was a young, liberal, feminist law student; well on my way to solving all the problems of the world. I married a young Naval Aviator and began to travel that world. During the next years, we had 4 children and suddenly all the problems of that world seemed to move into my living room. They had names: Jessica, Colby, Rachel & Sarah. As time went by, I began to realize that, just perhaps, I wasn't sure how to solve all the problems of the world; heck, some days I had no idea how to make it to dinner! But I hung in there and slowly, as the Lord used my 'problems' to grow my faith in Him, my focus became much clearer. And as my focus grew clearer; I began to realize just how OUT of focus so much of this world is... Just as a camera lens has difficulty focusing in dark places, so our spiritual lenses are skewed for lack of spiritual light. Our culture is growing darker; and focusing is harder than ever... Unless one walks with the Light of Faith one stumbles about aimlessly. And unless one reasons with the Light of Faith one reasons blindly. This book is the story of how I learned to walk, and reason, with that Light. And it all came from having 'problems' with 4 children...
