WARRIORS WITH HOLY HANDS
With darkness came random doubts and rumblings.
There is no escaping the inevitable, a long and debilitating end. No diagnosis, no treatment, no reason to believe.
A cloud hangs over this family. Long ago determined.
No God will intervene in what has been established in the physical world. There is no crossing between worlds.
Never real voices. I was learning to distinguish the demon whisperers from God. It was a struggle, but I dismissed their evil, putting them to flight with fledgling prayer. I’d summon words for the darkness—be gone!—staking my ground, and banishing the thoughts. Tentatively, I’d cry “I am a child of the Holy One!” Then I’d fall back in bed or my chair.
Not always.
I knew the only deep calling to deep I would ever heed—feelings, whisperings, beyond the audible, a passing rustle of leaves, words taking shape. The voice of my God.

About the Book
Warriors With Holy Hands is the story of Ruth Falk who finds herself lost in time, her life for three years spiraling downward. Stricken mysteriously ill and then orphaned, Ruth looks to the past for answers.
Searching through family diaries and records, Ruth discovers several extraordinary relatives whose lives span three generations.
Ruth also learns a curse spoken by one ancestor engaged her prayer-warrior grandmother in a pitched spiritual battle.
With increasing paralysis, Ruth joins a friend in the faith on a journey to the Southern Highlands, where it all began. There in the course of seven days—over ten months—all that has unraveled in recent years comes together. Life as she knows it will never be the same.
Warriors is a mystery that is finally, stunningly, revealed as serendipitous fruit from the branches of a family tree. It is a story of encouragement for those who seek God.
