Gossamer Realm: New Sight (Book 1)

By Erin Mackey

Spun from a string as thin as a whisper, the realm of the spirits is very real. For one boy, it will mean the difference between danger and duty as he awakens to a world unlike any other.

When an accident leaves Eli unconscious, he awakens to find he now sees the world not with new eyes - but with a new sight. Superimposed onto our world, the spirit world is visible to Eli as he is introduced to both angels and demons. Armed with this incredible gift, he must learn how to use it to bridge the distance between the two worlds and help guide others. With his guardian angel Griffith by his side, he becomes the ambassador between realms as he steps out into a bold new world - as thin as a gentle breeze but as real as the ground beneath his feet.

INTRODUCTION

I am always amazed at the stories that the Lord gives me to write. I know that none of this comes from me but instead from Him and I am just the vessel He is using to create these stories and share His message. I hope that the books that I write inspire and comfort both children and adults and that every book clearly shows how much our Lord cares for us and protects us.

The concept of angels and demons may be new to you but they are discussed numerous times in the bible. In fact, there are 8 specific stories in the bible that involve demons or demonic encounters and 10 specific times that angels are mentioned by name.

I know that I have physically encountered angels and demons in my lifetime in different situations. You don’t believe me? Have you ever had a moment where you know that harm should have come to you but didn’t and you don’t have any explanation as to what happened? Have you ever felt an overwhelming sense of danger or evil? Angels and demons are present on this earth and sometimes become involved in our lives. Hopefully after you read this book you will start to see times when they may be present in your life too.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. "

Ephesians 6:12-13

DEDICATION

The Lord gives me inspiration for new stories in so many ways – reading a morning devotional, a dream I may have, or even a commercial I may see on TV.

I dedicate this book to everyone out there trying to follow the path that the Lord has laid before them, regardless of how difficult it may be. We will have obstacles that Satan throws in our path to try to keep us from following God, but when we persevere and continue through the trials and blockades that emerge we will receive the blessings from above that are unimaginable.

I want to thank my family for all of their love, support, and encouragement as I continue on this writing journey. The help you provide whether it be coming up with a book title, naming characters, or even refining a book idea is essential and I know that I couldn’t do this without you!
