Book review for Christian soldiers and other such folk

I don't write about it very often, except of course an occasional tirade focused on the Nuns, but having been raised a Catholic I have definite built-in....quirks. Those quirks morph into quarks and then transform into patterns that lead to various questions that generally have no concrete answers.

My spiritual (non physical reality) awareness and knowledge is completely based on personal experience and has nothing to do with Catholic doctrine....even though the Nuns would probably debate that statement. After all, they are a feisty little bunch of devoted ladies and everyone knows that devoted ladies when they get together in feisty little bunch's can truly be a handful.

Every so often I'll come across a book, or a concept, having to do with Christian and Catholic ideals that will perk my interest but it's kind of like visiting the house you grew up in.....it seemed so much larger than it actually is. And compared to the reality of the Universe....those Catholic and Christian concepts are very very very very small.

The Lost Angel by Javier Sierra would seem like a must read to any Christian who has an interest in historical reference points. Which when one stops to think about it, actual Christian and Catholic historical references points seem to be limited to the Bible.

Other works just seem to be simply dismissed.

I have a broader interpretation of God's writing ability. I don't think God is a one or two book wonder. I think The Creator of a Universe can convey concepts and realities at any given moment.......including right now.

I think The Creator of a Universe can write amazing poetry, beautiful movie scripts, wonderful novels, engaging political thrillers and of course mesmerizing musical lyrics.

Limiting God's word to one or two or three or four or five books seems really really silly.

What Javier Sierra has done with his exceptional research is lift some veils that seem to have been smothered by modern Christian scholars. Smothering can consist of ignoring or altering for sake of discrediting.

I have never heard of the religious group called the Yezidi until I read The Lost Angel. In reality they might be the oldest known religious organization that has ever roamed the planet Earth.

Their anonymity is due to the fact that they have been classified by some Christan scholars as.....devil worshippers. They believe they descent from Adam and not Eve. They believe in reincarnation and the revere snakes.

John Dee is another new name I learned from this book and a very interesting historical figure.

who lived from 1527 to 1608.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is another new learning curve for me. Written 4000 years before the birth of Christ and found in Iraq, this story of a Sumerian king who is determined to find God's kingdom and reclaim man's right to immortality.

The Nuns never taught me about the Yezidi, John Dee or Gilgamesh because they were too busy teaching about their own stars.

If you are a devout believer in Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism or even an atheist I highly suggest reading The Lost Angel.

At the very least it will make you think of non-physical reality while introducing you to a new concept of what Angels might be, and how electromagnetic energy can play a role in the human experience.

It also made me conceptualize a story of how Marconi and Tesla waged a battle over the various waves of energy that can be captured and created....but of course that's another story for another day.

THE LOST ANGEL by Javier Sierra. Give it a go!
