Whitestone

by Kristin Connolly

Ever since the incident Rory Joyce’s family knows as “It,” life has been a bit skewed. There’s all that business about adding letters in math class, plus her new habit of having mysterious seizure-slash-visions (usually in public for maximum humiliation potential). All that's missing are some private visits from beings who claim to be sent from Elsewhere. It's just a sampling from the buffet of the bizarre that Rory’s life has suddenly become—as if junior high weren’t weird enough.

In Whitestone, Rory gets her first glimpse into a strange new world—beyond family loss, public school fiascos, homeschooling neighbors and those suspiciously nice kids from the youth group—and discovers that the real battles are the ones you don't even see. Well, the ones MOST people don't even see.

Are demons and angels real? In this time of angel worship and ignorance of the demonic by much of the world, this book is a fun read with insight into the spiritual realm. Our God is alive and well, and the spiritual battle is as well. As long as we have breath, Satan and his followers will be after us. Satan doesn't want us to believe this. I love the way this book shows us that in an easy to read way. Without pointing us to worship the created angels, but pointing us to Christ, the creator of the universe and His overwhelming love for us. I'll be reading the entire series.
