A Tale of Christian Spiritual Warfare. This is a Christian fantasy story about a group of Christian believers who are called to do battle with the evil forces that operate in this world, usually unseen, but Yeral E. Ogando brings them to light through his story. In this story, first Anthony is given a miraculous ability to see them in the spiritual realm, and to do battle with evil spirits. As unexpected as his conversion as a new Christian is, Anthony is more surprised to begin to see and hear

I am 39 years old and have to say, without a doubt, this is one of the most compelling, thought-provoking and inspirational books I have ever read. I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was 15. I have worked as a Youth Minister and Drama Director. I have preached. I have always been aware that Christians face a spiritual battle each day. Each time we claim victory over any form of temptation, it's a spiritual victory over darkness. However, many times I lose site of this because I can't actually

Like another review said, Action packed book of Faith! The Spiritual Battle becomes a reality! Looking forward to reading the series. I highly recommend this book. You won't be able to put it down. I received this book from Goodreads Giveaways and the Author Yeral E. Ogando. Thank you! Keep writing more books for this series.

I recommend it for a spiritual awareness; at least that is what happened to me after reading this excellent book.

Don't get confused with the title, there is more to it than that. Just make sure to read the story and you will see for yourself.

Fascinating, Empowering, Powerful, Inspirational
I chose this rating because I truly loved the book. I feel as though I learned so much. The spiritual battle between good and evil is portrayed so well. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and I rooted for them. You have to have respect for God and the constant battle going on that some believers are given the ability to see. I liked seeing lives transformed with imperfect people who make mistakes just like the rest of us. I recommend this boo ...more

The first volume of The Hero Within series, Awareness, is a classic work of Christian fiction. It is built around a world that is oblivious to the spiritual forces engaged in warfare and battle for the human heart. In the tradition of the Left Behind series, Ted Dekker, and Frank Peretti, the author, Yeral Ogando, brings to mind all the best qualities to a Christian fiction story. Bringing all sorts of characters into play, some of the book plays out like “slices of life,” but with an overshadow

Generally, I think five-star reviews should be used only for masterpieces, but I would give this inspiring novel 4.5 stars. The main character is Anthony Markson who, when introduced to the reader is drinking too much at The Rat's Nest Bar. Markson does not win many accolades as a husband and father but he truly does love his wife and son. Then a dramatic, close to "Road to Damascus" overtakes him when he is almost killed in a robbery. He becomes a Christian and some remarkable adventures begin.

Christian Fiction
Ogando has created a character who recognizes the call of God and accepts, soon creating a small team which can see the demons affecting others. I don't have a problem with the plot, but did find the abrupt surrender a little too quick. For those of us who struggle to hear the Lord, it seems a little soon, but perhaps that is a bit of envy speaking... lol ...more

I will give a 3 star, since I don't like fiction very much. A friend of mine lent me this book and I read it. But I really liked it.
