Spirit Bridge (A Well Spring Novel)

I just finished this book this afternoon, and I so didn't want it to end!I've read all 3 of the Well Spring books, and I have to say I don't know how anyone could've written a bad review because I really enjoyed all 3 of the books in the seriesl. James L. Rubart is an amazing writer! Whew, what an imagination he has, I don't think I'd want to be in his dreams! The ride that he's written for all of us to take through this series is full of every emotion, and twist and turn that you can imagine. Although through the seriousness of this series I did not find myself laughing much (if at all) because he shares with us a supernatural life that there is nothing to laugh about! But throughout the series we are reminded of how much we are loved by our Father in Heaven. So awesome how throughout the series he included scripture as each characters defense, as well as to push the darkness away! Scripture was woven through the series beautifully!I already miss all of the main characters - Reece, Dana, Brandon, Marcus, Miyo, Simon, and Doug too! But I also found myself wanting to know more about the Angels - Tristan, Jothom, and Orson and their service to our Lord and Savior. Wonderful series all the way around, I so want for more books in this series......now what can I read that will ever measure up to this series?! Looking forward to what James Rubart has ahead for all of us!Thank you for sharing your imagination with all of us Mr. James L. Rubart - it's been a fantastic ride!

Spirit Bridge is the third and final episode in the Well Spring series. And wow, it sure finishes in a mighty way, so much so I’m very sad that it has now ended.I’d suggest all readers read the first two in the series: Soul’s Gate and Memory’s Door, not just because they are fabulous novels but they provide a valuable introduction to this final episode.This one starts where the last one ended, the Warriors Riding hoping to take some time out to rest and convalesce after the battle with Zennon and his demonic warlords. However, the Spirit has other ideas and it isn’t long before the battle is renewed and with tragic circumstances.Two additional characters play pivotal roles. Simon, who we’ve met previously, and are never quite sure whose side he’s on. Rubart manages this ambiguity brilliantly. The second, Miyo, is in fact a new character and she plays an important leadership role in discerning the insidious plot of Zennon.Brandon and Dana’s characters are well developed in this episode and I especially grew to like both of them. The romantic tension between them continues as an undercurrent but doesn’t distract the reader in developing empathy for them both.What I particularly appreciated about this episode is how Rubart presents spiritual warfare in the context of the daily battle we all have in surrendering our desires and hopes to God. He explores it through Reece, Brandon and Dana demonstrating how each of them unknowingly allows the enemy to infiltrate through some form of self-glorification.This culminates in a fantastic final battle scene that is magnificently described allowing the reader to visualize it effortlessly.This is a wonderful series that so powerfully demonstrates spiritual warfare in a fictional context that is uplifting, challenging and thrilling in its suspensefulness.I can’t recommend it enough and so look forward to reading Rubart’s next creation.

I just dig Rubart's style. It's like the Evangelical Twilight Zone. He writes very well and I get caught up in his books. With prophecies, team names and powers, Warriors Riding are like the old X-Men. Rubart is almost on the level of Claremont. Well Sprint spiritual retreat is like The School for Gifted Youngsters. Reece is like Professor X. I guess I like the books because there is so much going inside so-called "normal" people. Huge battles and wars going on inside are minds, souls and spirits and this team has the ability to go inside and fight those battles. The shock jock DJ and the agent who becomes a rockstar are good characters. I just like that he uses these battles of Faith to acquire the ultimate power which is belief that you will win. A winning psychology which makes the simplest difference in life. They fight against doubts and mental illness and guilt and negativity and the demons use those things, while angels try to help us. These books are a brilliant and entertaining way to preach a message, and it just comes off as fiction, but I think it's a palatable and easier way to get people caught up in modernity. Rubart is currently my favorite writer.

Without a doubt James L. Rubart is one of my favorite authors in Christian Speculative Fiction. His stories combine great story lines, believable characters, and important life lessons. Spirit Bridge is no exception. This is the third, and in my opinion the best of three books in the Well Spring series which started with Soul's Gate and continued with Memory's Door.These books present a unique allegorical look at the spiritual realm and the battle that each of us engages in on a daily basis. Each book leaves you thinking about your own spiritual condition and teaches many valuable life lessons. One such lesson in Spirit Bridge is found in the admonition for one of the characters to, "turn for good from thoughts that are lies, and believe fully that you are loved simply because of who you are." As children of the King of kings, this is a message all of us need to remember.Another aspect that makes Jim's books so powerful is his understanding and portrayal of real characters. As a creative type, I loved the statement in the book that, "The highs are sky high and the lows are the deepest valleys for many, many artists. For them to be able to tap into the emotional depth you see in their novels, songs, and paintings, they have to be able to experience great sorrow along with great triumphs."I highly recommend this series of books, and especially Spirit Bridge.

Goog book, good condition

I so enjoyed this book. It kept me on my toes and engaged the whole time. I couldn't put it down. I could really relate to the characters and through them the Lord gave me some answers for my own life. I was truly blessed.

Another amazing Rubart novel!!
