Author’s
Supernatural Fiction Breaks All the Molds
James L.
Rubart entertains and challenges
audiences with his new thriller, Soul’s Gate
Ever since author James L. Rubart read The Chronicles of Narnia in the seventh
grade, he has been enthralled with supernatural and fantastic stories. Because
of his love for being swept away by a story that goes beyond ordinary, everyday
life, and gives him hope while opening his mind to ideas he never dreamed
possible, he writes. This passion is sure to shine through with his latest book,
Soul’s Gate (Thomas Nelson/November 6,
2012/ISBN: 978-1-4016-8605-5/$15.99). In this new release, Rubart poses the question: What if you could send your spirit inside other people’s souls to fight for their freedom?
“Toni Morrison says, ‘If
there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written
yet, then you must write it.’ That’s what I’ve done and why I’m writing
supernatural fiction,” says Rubart. Supernatural fiction is a term that covers
a wide spectrum of genres, but when Rubart wrote his first book, publishers
weren’t sure where he fit in. He has since been able to carve out his own niche.
“For me it’s taking ordinary contemporary settings and interjecting the
extraordinary into them. If you look at the Bible, it’s full of science
fiction, fantasy, and speculative type stories. The difference is the tales in
the Bible are true. What I do is take those fantastic things in the Bible and
turn them into a story in our modern world.”
Rubart’s novels entertain readers while
challenging them to reexamine their own lives. Soul’s Gate explores healing from our deepest wounds and embracing
God’s calling for our lives — challenges that often have a strong hold over us.
Ultimately, as with all of Rubart’s previous releases, the core theme of
freedom runs deep. “I
want people to finish Soul’s Gate and be freer than when they picked it
up. Freedom from their past, freedom from their brokenness, freedom to step
into their God designed destiny,” Rubart shares.
Soul’s Gate poses the question: what if you could travel inside another
person’s soul? What if you could battle for them and be a part of Jesus healing
their deepest wounds? Thirty years ago, that’s exactly what Reece Roth
did—until tragedy shattered his life and ripped away his destiny. Now God has
drawn Reece out of the shadows to fulfill a decades-old prophecy about four
warriors with the potential to change the world. In order to fulfill God’s
plan, Reece will have to face his deepest regret in order to train them.
Reece stood and faced the group. “Every
now and then we get a break from reality. A glimpse into the other world that
is more real than the reality we live in 99 percent of our days. The Bible is
about a world of demons and angels and great evil and even greater glory. A
world the prophets saw; the world Enoch, and Elijah, and Paul, and John the
apostle all saw. A world that is all around us in every moment if we would have
eyes to see and ears to hear.”
The
group gathers at a secluded and mysterious ranch deep in the mountains of
Colorado where they will learn to see the spiritual world around them with
stunning clarity and how to step into the supernatural as powerfully as anyone
in the Bible did. The four have a
destiny to battle for a freedom even Reece doesn’t fully fathom. However, they
have an enemy determined to destroy them — one who will stop at nothing to keep
them from their quest for true freedom and the coming battle of souls.
There’s no doubt that Rubart has
found his niche. In addition to a strong following of readers, his previous
releases have garnered critical acclaim and have risen to the top of
best-seller lists. His first novel, Rooms (2010), won a Best Books 2011 award from USA Book News, as
well as a Romantic Times Book Reviews Reviewers Choice Award.
Advance Praise
"Powerful
storytelling. Rubart writes with a depth of understanding about a realm most of
us never investigate, let alone delve into. A deep and mystical journey that
will leave you thinking long after you finish the book."
~ Ted Dekker, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Series and Forbidden (with Tosca Lee)
"Tight, boiled-down writing and an
intriguing premise that will make you reconsider what you think you know about
the spiritual realm."
~ Steven James, national bestselling author of Placebo
and Opening Moves
“Soul’s
Gate takes
readers on a wild flight of fantasy into the spiritual realm, where we find the
battle for our souls is even wilder than we imagined—and very, very real. With
vividly drawn characters, startling imagery, and the power of a spiritual
air-raid siren, the story is at once entertaining and breathtakingly
enlightening. James L. Rubart has crafted a stunning piece of work, a call to
arms for everyone who yearns for the freedom of the abundant life Christ
promises us—and is willing to fight for it. Rubart knocks it out of the park
with this one.”
~ Robert
Liparulo, author of The 13th
Tribe and Comes a Horseman
“Don't
read this unless you're ready to see with new eyes. Through evocative prose and
masterful storytelling, Rubart transports you to the spiritual realm—a
realm of vision, mystery, healing and power. A deep and thoughtful—and
jet-propelled—spiritual journey of a book.”
