Castles in the Sand, by Carolyn Greene, is a good book as fiction per se. Yet, some fiction is…true. Greene’s book shows how even Christian colleges can fall prey to the anti-Biblical practices of the enemy.
At church last night a young woman told me she was at a “spiritual” bookstore, owned by a friend of her mother. The things being talked about seemed familiar somehow. She hadn’t finished reading Castles in the Sand, but she went back and read more.
Sure enough, many of the New Age/New Spirituality practices were described in the book. The woman had been educated, through this Christian “fiction,” to recognize these things the bookstore owner and her mother had been talking about.
Well, I have written many articles about Castles in the Sand. I have taken it to an AA meeting, a labyrinth, a Red Letter (yeah, right) Christian’s lecture, and even to a vampire movie. I have given the novel to people, or left it in strategic spots.
But I also have given it to people from my church. And hearing that last night, man, it is incredible to be a small part of the Lord’s plan.
Author Carolyn Greene, may He guide and bless you. If we see a sequel, I know it will only be after much prayer. That’s how the first one came with such power.
I am humbled when I think that I was chosen to serve Him in this way. Because it is only by the power of God that I am serving Him on the streets. (SO not me, quiet and SHY) It also took a while and I also had to go through many trials but He never let me go as He never let you go. I thank Him for those who witnessed to and prayed for you on the streets and I will also write this down in my heart. What a mighty and faithful God we serve!
Thank you for your prayers and may God also bless you as you minister for our King.
Teana, I was homeless and addicted to alcohol and/or heroin in four different cities. I really believe the prayers of the Christians who served on the streets were answered. May Christ guide you in your ministry.
Thank you Teana. Holy is our God, and isn’t it amazing we get to serve the King?
It is such a blessing isn’t it and so encouraging, when God will let you see the fruits of your labors. Even if you weren’t directly involved, something that you are doing that someone else did to help lead someone to belief in Christ is also encouraging. I work in a street ministry and it is such a blessing to talk with fellow believers who tell you that they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ thru the efforts of a similar street ministry. Glory and all praise to God!
I enjoy reading your site and learn so much from it. Stand strong and be encouraged! God bless.
