How well do you know your church leaders and members?Space Brothers by James C. Blocker is a Christian sci-fi novel that weaves satanic-occult practices within the Christian church. It is a story of finding the real Jesus amid confusion and “signs and lying wonders” (2 Thess. 2:9). Kyle, a young college student, has an encounter with a “being” that at first appears to be extra-terrestrial. As events unfold, readers learn it is indeed supernatural, only not the godly supernatural. Instead of being otherworldly, its origin is demonic while its host is human, and Kyle learns an important truth: sometimes people are not who they portray themselves to be, and the reasons for this can be surprising. Come along with Kyle, Zig-Zag, Lilith, the “Oracle,” and others, to discover what is real and who to trust. In Space Brothers, readers learn that some church members, even those in leadership, have deceptive motives, and their errors can cause us to lose those we love. In the end, thanks to friends and loved ones, Kyle realizes that he is a chosen vessel by God who is appointed to disrupt the plans of the devil. Even though we may suffer, God brings about healing and hope to those who trust in Him.

Virtually every Christian, whether (s)he realizes it or not, is in a spiritual battle; too often the church has left it up to the ministers and foreign missionaries to do battle with the unseen forces of evil. Yet, the church as a whole is enlisted in God's army as soldiers to do battle with these forces. While it is prudent when confronted with the demon possessed, to leave it up to those that are mature and anointed to handle the possessed; that does not exclude the "rank and file" Christians from being involved in this spiritual battle on a personal level. This conflict with the unseen forces of evil and the church is known as Spiritual Warfare .Spiritual Warfare is the battle for the mind of the Christian. The Christians however, are responsible to renew their minds by the Word of God, thus, focusing on God. From the introduction.
