New Series Ideas...?

(Picture taken from http://www.fashion-conscience.com/media/catalog/product)

I think I was inspired by the Spirit to write something very personal in an exaggerated, fictional, spiritual setting.

My life.

There were three books at first, but I think it would make more sense to write four. The first is my life up to now, where I am with the Lord, my identity in Him, my journey through the Setting Captives Free website, my relationships, etc.

The next one would be inspired by my engagement relationship, which I assume won't come to fruition for quite some time. The temptations in dating, the learning process, the counseling, etc.

Book three would be our marriage over the years. The struggles, the fights, not feeling love for each other, the good times, and especially the bad.

The last book would be about our children. How we decide to raise them, what paths they take, their struggles for independence, and stubbornness to ignore our advice.

The running theme for all four in the series would be temptation. I was thinking of personifying temptation, as that seems more relatable, but it also gives you a person to hate, instead of looking out for where temptation hits in real life. The first demon is identity, the second is premarital sex, the third is stress and doubt, the last is the fight for our children's souls.

The spiritual battles take place in more of a physical place than they do in the mind (though it could be argued that the physical place is in fact symbolic for the mental battlefield).

We'll see what happens. If it is inspired by the Lord, then I guess it's good to go. As of yet, I'm not very confident in my writing for a legitimate series after what happened with the others.
Hopefully more to come.
God Bless, and Happy Sunday :)
