“Fantasy stories open our eyes to an unseen world and train our minds to see beyond the visible. In the New Testament context, this is where our real battles are fought. Good fantasy will reveal the hidden powers of evil that threaten the hero's life and upset his journey. Good fantasy focuses on how a hero finds victory when he learns that he can't win by himself, so he submits to the higher power in faith and obedience.” WorldMindRealStoriesEyeEvilWinningFantasyJourneyHeroVictoryHigherBattleTrainObedienceUpsetVisibleSubmitTestamentUnseenNew TestamentHigher PowerCan't WinFantasy Stories Author:Bryan Davis
