Spiritual Battles

Jackal by Michael Jack Webb is a Christian fantasy suspense that will grip you from the start. It is the second book in The Justice Chronicles but can be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed meeting up with familiar faces.

Life is a spiritual battle. There are more forces around us than what we can see and hear.

Within the tale, the forces of evil try to outwit the good. God asks us to trust Him. If we call on His Name, we will be saved. For at His Name, the demons will flee.

The reader travels to Egypt. Though the story is set in present day, we hear of the ancient artefacts, customs and gods.

The leading character is very perceptive, having vivid dreams that need interpreting.

Michael Jack Webb has clearly well researched ancient Egypt as we become immersed in that unfamiliar world.

The novel also quotes chunks of scripture, showing that God is for us.

All the characters were well drawn.

The atmosphere was dark and creepy at times as the demonic forces battled for control.

Jackal is definitely a thinking-man’s novel. It was an engaging read, although there were times when I didn’t quite follow the action (the fault was mine, alone).

Jackal is a suspenseful read that will keep you entertained.

I received a free copy from the author. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
