She has been praying since before she could speak. Now she is the only thing standing between the ones she loves and a darkness determined to destroy them.
Thirteen years ago, Stephanie Hudson and her family vanished without a trace, and her best friend Mariah feared the worst. Now Stephanie and her two daughters have stepped back into Mariah’s life, fleeing a distant, abusive husband… and a generations-old secret hidden behind the walls of Hudson’s Tavern.
As darkness closes in on the young family’s hiding place, the fearless faith of thirteen-year-old Rebekah becomes the main defense against the forces of a cursed bloodline, a mysterious spirit, and hate crimes threatening to destroy their small town. With her estranged father’s fate hanging in the balance, Rebekah and a small circle of believers must face the powers hunting them before the darkness claims their family for good.
For readers who love spiritual warfare, suspense, and authors like Frank Peretti, Jamie Jo Wright, and Ted Dekker, The Portal is a heart-pounding supernatural thriller about prayer, courage, and the unseen war that lurks far nearer than anyone dares believe.
When evil comes for everyone you love, will your faith be enough to withstand it?

My Review
This was a page turner, a powerful Christian read.
A read that is full of spiritual warfare, and yes, this is a fictional read, but it felt so real! Do I believe that all of what happened in this book could really happen, yes! The forces of evil are strong!
The author gives us a beautiful thirteen year old girl, Rebeckah, and her love of the Lord. She does surprising things in this read, but her faith is unbreakable. There are other strong Christians put in her path, but loved how she worked on some she loved to show them the right path.
The author does a great job of bringing this story alive, there is a lot of bad stuff going on here, including kidnapping, human trafficking, along with demonic possession, and more. We need to be reminded to be vigilant and keep the Lord close.
I received this book through the New Haven Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review.
