I admit that I was excited to begin this book but apprehensive to finish it. Endings are one of the hardest things to get right. After spending so much time within The Oneness Cycle this past week (four books in one week!), I was afraid the ending would fall flat of my hopes. Happily, my fears were unnecessary.This book splits it's attention between the modern characters featured in the previous books and characters from medieval times. The book begins in an abbey where the sisters--members of the Oneness--battle a deathly plague with compassion and love. In their midst is a young woman with the gift of painting. Theresa's art comes from the Spirit and has power that she herself does not understand. That power draws an enemy--a wolf in sheep's clothing.In modern day, the coastal Oneness cell seeks to heal and grow from the battles they have endured. The Spirit is revealing Himself to them in ways they never imagined. Still baffled by the way she has been chosen for greatness, April wrestles with the fire birthed within her. She struggles to trust the Spirit. She and the others must seek to know the One who dwells within them, for He is one to be known intimately and fully, and in knowing they will find peace and joy and the fullness of the Oneness they are part of.
Read the entire series. I am not an easily captivated reader and I read through these book almost faster than I could download them. Each book transitioned nicely into the next. Interesting perspective on Spiritual Warfare. I wouldn't have minded a little more detail one of the stories at the end of this fifth book, but it didn't leave me feeling like I was hanging without answers. I simply wasn't ready for the series to be over so more detail and a few more chapters would have been perfectly fine with me.Overall, great series to read. No bad language in any of the books. Spiritual Warfare is a deep, often dark, heavy subject so if younger kids are wanting to read it I would recommend a parent reading them first to determine if their particular child can "handle" and process the subject.A+ in my book!
This is so good that I read the whole series in one week. It is well worth your time to read it. Some times series loos direction but for this series the conclusion was engaging and a satisfying end to characters I came to enjoy.
