  <default_description>In the time before Creation, before so many of the children of God turned away from their Father and walked knowingly into the dark, there was a choosing, a sifting, a contest of ideas and a battle for souls. In that great premortal war, each of us learned the first lessons of life: The great ones may fall. The wicked can change. The weak and the foolish can become the strongest of all. And the battle between good and evil is the same regardless of the time or place.
The Brothers is the first novel in a new series by national bestselling author Chris Stewart. The Great and Terrible takes us from the beginning of time to the final hours of the last days, revealing the greatest secret of all: The children of God can defeat the adversary, for we have fought him before. 


As Peter read the charges against Lucifer, the enormous chamber remained deadly still.  Everyone knew what the charges would be, for there were no more secrets among the children of God, and the evidence was damning, entirely whole, and complete.

Satan was indeed in open rebellion.  He was seeking not only to destroy the souls of all who would follow, but to bring down and destroy the society of the Father, to take His kingdom and power and glory and claim it all for his own.

And becase it was evident, and because he no longer denied it, there was no doubt of the outcome of the Council of God.

Lucifer had to be defeated, his rebellion disbanded or crushed.  He could not be reasoned with.  There was no common ground.  His followers had to give up their sedition and quit converting God's children to their dark paths or be cast out and expelled from the presence of God.

Ammon shivered as he listened to the words Jehovah read.  Damned for eternity.  Denied their second estate.  Cast out, never to be with the Father again.

And so it was that the battle with Satan began.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I like this whole series, but this book, is...well, cheesy.  It's not meant to be, but I just can't get on board with the author's whole vision of the pre-earth life.  Not that I have anything to compare it to, but it just seems melodramatic and a little off.  Still, the story is interesting, and it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7809954">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This first book in the Great and Terrible series takes place in the pre-existence and is about Satan's rise of rebellion.   The writing is not extremely literary, but I still liked the book.    Even with the understanding that everything was the author's fictional creation,  Satan's persuasions in t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47390152">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ummm...  I think I would give this book 3.5 stars.  It usually takes me a while, after I'm done reading it, to figure out if I like the book. This book was very interesting.  It's a story about the pre-existence and the war in heaven that took place before we came to this earth.

    <body><![CDATA[This series was awsome, There are six books total. I have them all and would love to share them with my friends. These books help you realize how thin the veil is and how much lucifer desires to have us but we have our agency and we will if we choose come out on top.

When I picked it up again looking for a treadmill read, I was pleasantly surprised by the story and how it drew me in.
