As a young girl I always loved reading because it took me to
a different place and time. Of course, I fell in love with the Nancy Drew
series which developed into a penchant for mysteries. When I began to write The Dividing Stone, it started out as a mystery,
but then I felt the Lord got a hold of my pen and led it another direction. It
became my quest to understand the forces behind the breakup of a vital church.
The more I wrote, the more He revealed the Satanic forces at
work to divide Christian marriages and churches. Years before, as a young
Christian living in Vermont in an isolated area, God began to reveal to me
about the spirit world and in particular
principalities that ruled over regions.
When I moved back to New York there were ministries that were being
shown the same thing. As my circle of friends began to grow, I met more people
that lent credence to what God was showing me. Then my historical research led to me uncovering the presence of "secret societies"
in the formation of our nation and a rift in our community.
I wove everything into a complex tale of mystery and intrigue, but had difficulty
finishing it. For years, I struggled
with getting the book polished and ready for publication, until God lit a fire
under me and a publisher was interested. I believe the timing is perfect with
the increasing persecution of Christians around the world and the rising dark
forces in America.
I was very excited when "War Room"
came out because it dealt with a similar theme: attacking the root reason for
many of our relational problems that cause division in the church and marriages,
while waging warfare not with guns but in prayer. Though The Dividing Stone is a fictionalized account it unmasks these root
causes and what we can do to overcome them!
