New Christian book, Deception of Magic

[christian70]

Deception of Magic is an action packed, humorous fantasy that combines fantasy action with scripture and theology. Topics such as salvation, pride, forgiveness, prayer, and much more, are discussed with scriptural support. From Chapter 19 -

Inside the Elven Throne Room​

"You say with your lips what is right and good, yet in your hearts you think it is foolishness. You claim you know me, yet I deny knowing you. Repent, or I will destroy the elves. Every tree shall be cut down and consumed with fire, and the river will overflow with the blood of the elves before the fullness of the greater moon. Humans will refuse to farm this land for seven generations, and the gorm shall call it cursed for three. Dwarves shall cast lots, with the loser entering this land with great trembling."
“Yet, because of the love your kings had for me in times long past, I will grant one last chance. Search and understand, seek wisdom. What turns aside the wrath of God? Did I not say draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Judgment is upon you, for who can escape my wrath? Yet to the humble will I show mercy, to the weak will I give strength. Heed the words of my maiden, for your time is short.”
It was deathly silent in the throne room when Lily finished speaking the word from the Lord of the Stars. She hung her head and looked at the floor in front of her feet, golden hair hiding her face.
“Read every word she said back for everyone to hear,” the Elven King said while pointing to an elf that was documenting everything in a large book. The king’s face looked very troubled. An elf with glasses stood up, holding his large book in front of his face. His voice boomed out through the throne room.
“Your majesty, I know this dream because the same dream was shown to me. This is what your dream….”
When he concluded her testimony, the elf with the long purple robes began to speak. “The true God has spoken to me, and He has called this human female a liar and a blasphemer.” His large staff that had a tip of a silver cross was pointing directly at Lily. Extreme anger showed in his face and eyes.
Standing strong in her faith, Lily lifted her head, locking her eyes on the elven priest. “Your church of idolatry is no more,” she said in a low, meek voice. As soon as she spoke, the ground shook. For several long seconds, the throne room swayed back and forth. A loud, crashing noise reverberated through the throne room, followed by a thunderous boom that echoed throughout the Elven City.

 

[AgapeBible]

I had a dream about a human girl who is a Christian, and along with her Bible she is swept into a magical world under the tyranical rule of three powerful witches who work for the devil, and she lands in a peasant medieval village. There, very few people have an education, anyone who can read or do complicated math is considered a powerful magician, and because the people see her reading her Bible they think she is a good mage, the "chosen one" and they beg her to help them fight the evil witches that terrorize the place. THe girl hears the Lord God speaking to her, she is here to save this magical world from the devil's tyranny, Satan appears as a monstrous dragon she has to fight, there is a good and pure unicorn that represent Jesus Christ, and another dragon, maybe a gold, silver or diamond one that is good. The girl is me, I should write this. In the dream she is lifted up by the spirit of gOd and is flying she meets the three witches and has the Bible, she is reading it and the witches greet her as fellow magic-user and sk her what she's reading, she tells them it's a book about a mysterious unusual but very powerful god, then she shouts his name, "YAHWEH!" at them, and there is a thunderbolt and powerful wind that drives them back and the witches are pushed back by a tremnedous force. Then I woke up.

THis sounds like a really cool story, reminds me of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Sounds like it will be great. I am writing my own stories. I am working on a story called "Dragon's Jewel."

Good observation. One of the key versus is Isaiah 47 - 12 &#8220;Keep on, then, with your magic spells </SPAN>and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward,</SPAN> those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you.14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves</SPAN> from the power of the flame. These are not coals for warmth; this is not a fire to sit by. Good luck with your book. If I can help you with anything, let me know. And, you should give Deception of Magic a read. Scripture combined with fantasy!

Um, did you write deception of magic? because if you did, you're awesome! i wish I could get a story published, but i have he hardest time finishing them.

Yes, I did write Deception of Magic. It is a lot of work, and the Christian Publishing industry makes it even tougher. If you ever do want to publish, make sure you research the "landmines" of publishing houses and christian literary agents, if you have not already.
