Excellent Trilogy that gives us a clear and very close to kingdom reality of angelic and demonic realms that we don't see.

I am reading the Angel Walk Triglogy right now.

The first book, Angel Walk, is about the Angel "Damien" who is reflecting on the battle of the Angels and somehow cannot believe in his mind, or can't remember that Lucifer was so bad. He meets with God and tells him that he would like to find Lucifer somehow believing he can change his and the others Angels minds to come back to Christ. He walks the earth and it is a grueling walk.

The second story "Fallen Angel" is written by view of one of the bad Angels "Observer" and it is his job to record all of Satan's wrong doings. I am over half way through the second story now. Again, some things just hard to accept.

The third story "Stedfast" "The Guardian Angel" is suppose to come from a Guardian Angels view. I am hoping this will be more uplifting than the first two books. The first two books are written as though narated by the Angel himself.

Angel Walk got me thinking about God. How awful it must have be for him creating the Angels and having half of them turn on him. Then creating us, another disappointment. How easier said than done, it is for us to be completely honest and good in everything we do in life. If or when Judgement day arrives.....how difficult will it be to find people so pure of heart that can make it through the doors of Heaven. Those are the kind of thoughts that surfaced. I also thought it was a bit difficult to follow at times.

This was some hard reading for me because these books make you think/reflect about your faith and everything you do and say in life. I struggled with the idea of no second chances given, the gay issue and much more. Elwood does not hold back on these issues most of which I am reminded from from my Catholic faith.

I will return with more when I actually finish all three books. Not exactly what I am use to reading but I can say... will be remembered.

Only read Angelwalk - will really make you think twice about the battle among the spirits around us.

The one thing that might be off-putting to some is that all three books read like someone's private journals.
Which,if you stop and consider; is actually an appropriate way to tell a story from the main character's point of view.
Whether it's Darien;the wandering angel with questions and doubts.
Observer; the fallen angel,suffering from self-delusion and plagued with regrets.
Or Stedfast; the angel that never doubted. Whose trust in God never wavered.
The accounts of all three,as they travel through human history kept my attention and challenged me to think about Ephesians 6:12 in a new light.
For me,it seemed like the first book, Angelwalk was a rough foundation that got successively fine-tuned with each story that followed.
I liked them all, but Stedfast was ultimately my favorite one.
