Age of the Fallen

author Mark Olmos
novel, fantasy, spiritual allegory

The characters include:
a group of 8 teenage spiritual warriors led by Aiko
Akira, their teacher
demons and angels demons and angels
many others

In Ephesians 6:10-18 we are told to put on the full armor of God. In Age of the Fallen
the armor of God becomes very real and full of power. The battle being fought is not how we have given thought of what the battle is, but changes the spiritual battle into a new reality. The armor God really comes to life in this allegory. It shows to us the battle our prayers are truly supposed to be fighting.

I am a fan of Frank Peretti’s books. If you have read Frank Peretti and enjoyed his books then think of this as Frank Peretti to the next level.

Aiko and her friends have spent some time fighting demons who are attacking individuals with drugs and self-deprecation, taking away the individual's willingness to live life. They have fought several battles like this but this new battle will take them beyond what they feel are their limits. Through prayer, their own and other warriors, God will supply them new strength to complete the battle of their life.

This book opened my eyes to how Satan has used depression and drug addictions to his advantage and for the destruction of mankind. If you are looking for a new awareness to the spiritual battle going on around us I recommend that you read this book. And don't forget to read your Bible while you're at it.

Mark Olmos, I’m looking forward to your next book.

278 pages, riveting reading.
ISBN-13: 978-1-933204-90-1
