Hello guys! long time no speak! I know I haven't been online in ages I've been busy. I've said this in previous posts but this one I again couldn't find an appropriate section to place it. Its a book review, the book is called 'The Fall Of Lucifer' from author Wendy Alec. Heres a brief description:.....

The three archangel brothers Lucifer Gabriel and Michael live in Heaven with the mighty angelic legions of God, and when God decides to make a new race Lucifer becomes envious and annoyed, thinking that 'we aren't good enough for him' and etc. (I don't want to give the whole thing away)..., soooooooo

eventually he and his one third of the angelic members of heaven rebel against God in an attempt to destroy mankind - for the sake of God, for Lucifer knows humans will break Gods heart an infinite amount of times. He gets cast into hell, fights erupt, people get tortured in faith, brothers fight, emotions stir and etc.

I can't say too much or else I would have ruined the book. Out of 10 I give this book 20 - its THAT good, honestly. I got it for £11 in my nearest Christian book store, prices can't vary from that that much.

PS: if anyone knows any other books written by W.A I'd love to hear about them - apart from 'The journal of the unknown prophet' which I've already got. Thanks, much love - Jordan.:love: :love: :love:

I'd really love to hear other members or moderators opinion regarding this book, I'm not sure, but I think it's a work of fiction, I have read the first 10 pages of the book and I wasn't really taken by it, but I'll buy it and read it if I know God approves of it.

I'm also aware that this is a 3 part series?
 
It is fiction. Called a novel. There are reviews from those who have read the book on amazon. Yes it is in 3 parts teraside. Wendy and Rory run the God channel so I guess this is another way of getting more money.

Book Description
Three Archangels ... Three Brothers ... One turned renegade ... A sweeping epic of origins and mysteries, The Fall of Lucifer tells a tale older than the universe itself. Set in opulent palaces and frightening hell worlds, this is a timeless saga of doubt, of demons and angelic warriors, of obsessive love and treason, and of an ancient evil that knows no bounds. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Inside Flap
Soon the universe itself will be rocked by war, a war between three angelic brothers - a war fought for the greatest prize in the universe - the war for the race of men. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


This is one persons review on the book

Think this is about the first time ever I've bought a book with fairly high expectations, only to be utterly disappointed, and downright annoyed to a degree on how anyone who calls themselves a Christian could write such drivel about a very sensitive subject. Almost all of this book was so totally boring, and rarely managed to make me consider any of the story interesting enough to turn the page at times. I ended up speed reading it, only to confirm my initial thoughts - that I certainly wasn't going to find it an inspirational or remotely interesting story. In fact, I wonder why she feels its a suitable topic to write about to start with, and the mystical way in which the story is woven just depressed me. Having God's HOLY angels cavorting around playing games on each other was just ridiculous reading even for a fictional piece - all I can say is if you're a Christian steer clear. If you're an atheist with an interest in the occult you might possibly enjoy it enough to keep reading past the first chapter.

Looks like this book came out some time back as they are selling used copies for under £4. No pricing shown for buying it new. It was published in 2005.

I found this on cbn.com

Wendy Alec: 'The Fall of Lucifer'
The 700 Club

CBN.com – Wendy Alec started writing the screenplay for The Chronicle of Brothers five years ago. Then, it developed into what will be a series of epic novels with the same name. The first in the fictional series is The Fall of Lucifer. It has the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer as brothers and follows what happened in heaven when God decided to create man and Lucifer's fall from heaven.

Though the first novel is the great expose of Lucifer, Wendy says it really is God the Father's story, not Lucifer's. She feels that the veil was lifted and she had the Father's permission to reveal some heavenly truths. She studied scripture and added the fictional parts, such as the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer being brothers.

She had to ask the Lord for permission write this and each part of the book. Wendy was very careful with her choices of writing and where the novel has gone. She always was seeking God's approval on everything.

Wendy wrote it in the fear of the Lord and feels that it is a commission to write these stories. While it's a work of fiction, she wrote it in under the anointing of the office of the prophet and seer, and she considers it a more revelatory work. Wendy would be in a mode of worship and she would write and she would find herself weeping while writing this.

POSITIVE RESPONSE
The Chronicle of Brothers series is being developed into a comic and graphic novel. This came about when some unsaved comic book creators started reading The Fall of Lucifer. They really liked it and now they are developing it into a secular comic that will be distributed in Japan, Britain and U.S. So far, The Fall of Lucifer has been more in the secular market and various Christian booksellers just to name a few.

It is getting good responses from readers. One woman was in an airport and was laid over. She bought the novel at an airport bookstore and couldn't put it down for six hours. Christian readers sense a real love of God and fear of the Lord. Readers in London are also responding well. The book was tested in a secular youth group and the readers liked it.

Wendy feels that the story is getting favorable reviews because the story is infused with God. Also, everybody is God-birthed, we will always have a hunger for God. Jesus is the Great Storyteller and His story is the Great Plot.

CREATIVE EVANGELISM
Wendy has always had a passion for creative evangelism, using the media, commercial production, and any other creative means to spread the Gospel. She has a background in working in commercial TV and has been doing Christian TV for 10 years. She says there is a divide in Christian and commercial media. Christian TV really equips the Church, but that is only half of the picture. There should be commercial Christian media and Christians should understand the crowd they are trying to reach. With her media experience she says the first will be last and the last will be first. In other words, she was able to minister to the Christians with God TV first, now she wants to minister to the lost. She hopes to reach 1 billion with commercial media – comics, movies, etc. The Chronicle of Brothers is an epic story that can reach pop culture of the day, like the the Lord of the Rings. In October 2006 she hopes Messiah, the second novel in The Chronicle of Brothers, will be out.


Against all odds was the first book wendy alec wrote.

God bless :love: :rainbow: :rose:
 
I appreciate the ministry of Rory and Wendy Alec. A momentous task achieved to the glory of God.......i.e."The God Channel"

I have not heard of this book, but that is no argument since I am behind on most things.

One things strikes me, reading the initiasl post's......As I read, there is only one angel referred to as an Archangel, Jude 9, and that is Michael the Archangel.


So what.......help me if you can......MmMm
 
hello brother stephen and yes you are right there was only 1 Archangel.

This is what was said about the story.

She studied scripture and added the fictional parts, such as the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer being brothers.

Hope this clears up any confusion dear brother

God bless :love: :rainbow: :rose:
 
perhaps its not everybodies cup of tea, sure, and sure alot of it is fictional - so what? its based on real events, lucifer did rebel and claim the name satan and thats what this book is about. but those people who wrote reviews about it were talking nonsense. theres nothing wrong with the book, shes got a fantastic imagination and she puts it in a way that we can relate to what heaven is really like - ofcourse eye has not seen and ear has not heard what God has in store for us, but this is the closest thing to heaven so far. whos to say angels dont play together? whos to say they dont laugh and joke and ride together?

if you dont like it then theres nothing wrong with it, but ide say atleast give it a go. judging something yourself using someone elses opinion i think is personally very foolish.

hell, lucifer, death, damnation etc are all things people like to avoid talking about but we need to WAKE UP. hell is as real as heaven, satan is as real as God, death is as real as life and damnation is just as real as salvation. we cant just stop talking about subjects as important as those because we dont like them.

I'm glad you have this drive and motivation concerning this book brother GHoooST, I can relate with you.

I will see when I have some money again, and some free time, then I will buy the book and judge for myself. I wasn't really drawn into it, but the prospect of understanding more about what was revelealed to the Author is good.

God bless you brother
Much love

Learn something new everyday!!!!

I was raised in the catholic church. I was always taught that there were three archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Rahphael. Their feast day in the r.c. church is on September 29th. That is when it is celebrated.
(edited byladylovesjesus) ladylovesJesus, thanks for the input. Just another piece of superstition to take off this (edited by ladylovesjesus) load that I have been carrying.
Dear Jesus, I sure want to help carry Your burden, because that is light and then I would be a lampstand and then I would shine brighter than a star.


Amen:Pixie:love: :sun: :rainbow:
