title: Siege Light Shatters Darkness
author:  Elisabeth A. Devena 
description: Boasting an active imagination, Elisabeth enjoys the crazy, colorful life that creates. Whether she is hoeing up wicked weeds to protect the righteous tomatoes in her garden or battling her way through a medieval tournament to teach her children about honor, Elisabeth looks for ways to illustrate spiritual truth in the world around her. It is her prayer that this book will help the next generation realize that true Christianity is seldom lived out in comfort and anonymity, open their eyes to the war being waged for the souls of mankind, and inspire them join the battle.
