Book Review: "Soul's Gate"

Before offering my review of James L. Rubart's "Soul's Gate," I feel it important to tell you there is absolutely no way I can produce a review worthy of what I believe is an incredibly beautiful and moving novel. I am very critical about the works of literature I add to my personal library, but I knew upon immediately starting this novel that it would have a permanent place on one of my shelves.

The basic idea of this novel is that, with God's help, humans have the ability to travel into the souls of other people and wage war against any demons that may be keeping home there. Just the idea of battling for somebody else's soul really struck a chord with me, as I truly believe we have the power to change the life of another person if we can connect to his or her soul. The execution of this idea is accomplished with the help of Biblical passages and successful character development.

I do want to give anything away, but as the four characters grew stronger as the novel progressed, I could not stop myself from getting chills. Rubart offers his readers a once-in-a-lifetime look at how the soul works, and how God can allow you to be set free. Although this work is a piece of fiction, it gave me incredible hope and strength to battle my own demons. It was incredible watching the characters wage war for one another.

Putting the book down for a break was not an option for me. Every time I walked away from the book, I could not wait to pick it up again.

Even better, the cover of this novel indicates that there might be a sequel!

I would absolutely recommend this book to all of my family and friends. Although there is an incredibly strong religious tone to this novel, it has the ability and power to help anybody in need of freedom and salvation. I do not look at this book as a piece of religious literature, but rather a way to enrich one's life while basking in the love of God.

Please, please read this book if you get the chance. I cannot see any reason why somebody would regret that decision. Even if you are turned off by religious talk, you will definitely become inspired to fight and defeat the demons keeping you from living that perfect life.

This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read.
