Lilith is a threshold guardian with many aliases, including the war-monger goddess Anat of Zaphon. She is a vampiric spirit who specialises in dispossession and necromancy. She also claims rulership of appointed times as well as dwelling rights within us. By blocking the processing of shame, she tempts us towards narcissism or addiction.
The conflict between her and Jesus began at Cana and went on even after His return from the dead. Many prophets surrendered the fullness of their calling to her and only a very few triumphed over her.
Dealing with Lilith examines the work of Jesus in removing her spears, harpoons and entangling nets to restore our lost inheritance.
For twenty years, I was the coordinator of an annual camp for children based around The Chronicles of Narnia. That experience shaped a lot of my thinking about how readers enjoy fantasy.
Like CS Lewis, my fantasy story Many-Coloured Realm began with a picture in my mind's eye: a boy without arms floating in a field of stars and faced with an impossible choice.
My non-fiction series beginning with God's Poetry can be traced back to the observation that Lewis comes from the Welsh word for lion. The discovery of name covenants led to the discovery of threshold covenants, as well as many other long-forgotten aspects of our Judeo-Christian heritage.
I love exploring words, mathematics and names. All of these combine in my books, whether they are fiction or non-fiction, or whether they're for adults or children, whether they're academic in tone or primarily devotional. I hope my readers always come away from my books with a renewed delight for the world around us and a child-like wonder for its awesome aspects.
Interesting book. I will definitely read again to unpack some head scratchers. I think this book has challenged some of my understanding of the stories in the Bible. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I will know God’s word deeper. That’s a win in my book.
I appreciate her using of original words and culture to helps us understand the context in which is was written. Some parts I don’t get, but overall I think the point is to know the tactics of the enemy to spot it before it takes you out.
I'm working my way through this series and was told to skip ahead and read this one now. I believe this provided keys to victory in what's been a lifetime of spiritual warfare. Delaying one's calling so much it never even happens, at least not for centuries, very thought-provoking.
