TheWriteChris - On Writing: On a Spiritual Quest: Author Interview with Daniel...

Christine Henderson recently gave me the opportunity for my very first blog interview. So I thought I would share the link to the interview here. She has many other great interviews and she is an author herself, and I would like to encourage you to take some time and check our her site as I very much appreciate her taking the time to help me out as well.



Hope you enjoy reading through the interview and please feel free to leave any comments if there is anything more you would like to know about "The Gift & The Purpose"





TheWriteChris - On Writing: On a Spiritual Quest: Author Interview with Daniel...: When did you decide to write The Chronicles of Malachai series – was it before or after you wrote the first book? After I began writing ...

The Chronicles of Malachai, Books One & Two

   

The Chronicles of Malachai

 In the spiritual war raging all around humanity, with angels on one side and demons on the other, most people are not even aware of the battle's they are really fighting. But what happens to those who can see the war raging and understand how these spirits influence humanity itself, whose side do they choose? God's way, the demons way or perhaps pretend the war doesn't even exist. 

    

     “The Chronicles of Malachai” is a five-part series sharing the story of an ordinary man named Malachai, who was given an extraordinary ability by God to see and interact with the spiritual world that co-exists alongside our own. However, Malachai’s ability to see the spiritual realm quickly places him in the center of a spiritual war he doesn’t really understand. The angels want to help him; the demons will try to control or destroy him; but trusting in God’s purpose for needing him within this war will be Malachai’s greatest battle of all.

The story begins with the first book in the series called, 

“The Gift”

     The Gift, introduces a young Malachai, who desperately tries to understand who and what these spiritual beings he sees really are. He quickly discovers not all these beings should be trusted and even those who appear to be his friends may have a darker intent behind their friendship. Some of these spirits try to encourage Malachai to use his gift to help those around him. Others try to teach him how much power this gift can truly give him if used to it's full potential, while covertly using Malachai's abilities to aid their own demonic agenda.

Next, standing in the middle of the spiritual war itself, the second book in the series is called,

“The Purpose”

     The Purpose, continues Malachai’s fight against the demonic control over people and earthly regions. He begins to realize just how vast this war really is and how this war isn't simply between the angels and demons, there are greater demonic realms that fight against each other for ultimate control. However, Malachai must choose which side to fight for, God’s way, his own, or one of the many demonic realms that want him. The choice he makes will decide whether he survives this war or is ultimately destroyed. Yet, only by learning to truly trust in God, will Malachai learn the real purpose for his gift.

The third book in the series called, 

“The Awakening”

will be released during the spring of 2014. For updates and more info please follow

     As a youth worker, speaker and business owner, Daniel Sweetnam has encouraged youth and adults alike to be passionate about what they believe in and to never give up on fulfilling their dreams. From his childhood Daniel has always loved to write, creating many short stories, poems, bible studies, sermons and more; yet it wasn’t until his wife, Daphne and two sons, Josiah and Samuel, encouraged him to fulfill his own dream to write his first book, “The Gift”, that he realized how much he loves to share his heart and passion through the written word. 

     While living throughout British Columbia, Canada, Daniel has experienced many spiritual events himself and helped many others along the way. These experiences have led him to a deeper understanding of God and ultimately encouraged him to write 'The Chronicles of Malachai' series in order to cast some light on the spiritual war which still exists and remind others to trust God to help them overcome it.
