Proof is a courtroom drama where “proof” of the Holy Spirit’s existence is litigated. The corruption of a legal system that does not have God as the final authority and the evil of secret societies paint a picture of not only how the world was in the 1700’s but of the 21st century.
Fire, my favorite, depicts a town in the grips of evil and a man walking so close to the Holy Spirit that he becomes physically ill when he returns after a seven year absence to be the pastor of the local church. Would God that there be men so burdened today! An appearance by Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield make us audience to the powerful preaching of that day.
Storm is filled with political undertones and details the squelching of a spiritual revival on a college campus. A Yale student is personally and academically attacked for his faith. Sound strangely familiar?
A young man’s escape from a strained relationship with his pastor uncle who raised him and ultimately his flight from the Lord, is the vehicle used in Fury to show the discouragement that comes from battling the Holy Spirit and the power that comes from deep, abiding faith. Charles Finney’s preaching that the Holy Spirit is the “unrelenting hound of Heaven”, is instrumental in reaching the young man. It is a story of the spiritual journey of a bitter skeptic; a journey that many are on today.
The last three books all have a family bloodline carried out in them so reading them in chronological order is suggested. I hope you will be as blessed by these books as I was. May there be a “Great Awakening” in your heart.

Great Awakening
No one can be awakened without first having fallen asleep. The period between 1730 and the 1850’s was just such a time. A Great Awakening swept through America and kindled a flame of revival. The now late Bill Bright and Jack Cavanaugh authored a set of historical fiction books that give an absorbing account of the archetype of men that God used to expedite this flame. The four books, Proof, Fire, Storm, and Fury draw the reader into situations that are still current.
