From The Ishbane Conspiracy by Randy Alcorn, Angela (Alcorn) Stump and Karina (Alcorn) Franklin  Dear Foulgrin,I’m pleased our favorite holiday’s coming up in a few weeks. Halloween! It’s official, Foulgrin—these vermin now spend more money on this holiday than any other except Christmas.

To those wishing to explore a biblical perspective on demonic nature and activity, as well as spiritual warfare, Randy recommends these books: 3 Crucial Questions about Spiritual Warfare, by Clinton Arnold (Baker Books, 1997). Lord Foulgrin’s Letters, by Randy Alcorn
