The Spirit of Fear — Eric M. Hill

A SPIRITUAL WARFARE NOVEL What happens when a demon of fear invades a woman nearly one hundred years ago and subsequently attacks every one of her female descendants with fears so devastating that dreams are destroyed, giftings are abandoned, behaviors become weird, and insanity seems inevitable? Elsie is one of those descendants. She's been told all her life that she is beautiful, brilliant, and strong. Time has proven these words true. It has also proven that the generational curse of fear that Elsie declared would never get her, has caught up with her -- with a vengeance. In the sixth year of her seven-year neurosurgical residency at Johns Hopkins University, a paralyzing and unexplainable fear attacks her with such ferocity that she drops out of the program. Elsie's strong atheistic beliefs are put to the test as she tries everything she knows to get better. But she doesn't understand that she's engaged in spiritual warfare and is fighting both demons and God. Her condition worsens so fast that she is forced to consider things she once thought were myths, or worse, crazy. Are demons the problem? Is God the answer?
