An Amazing Book Review

No Secret but a HUGE Surprise. My latest book recieved a surprising review. I was astonished when I read it and would love to personally thank the reader yet I don't know her. Book Link: AND, she even went to the trouble of making this poster.

Tambi Smith 5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read! Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2025 "I Believe God’s Word: Spiritual Warfare & Prayers" by Crystal Mary Lindsey offers a compelling collection of short stories that delve deep into the realm of spiritual encounters. As someone who is still discovering my own spiritual path, I found these stories both intriguing and enlightening. Crystal Mary Lindsey's vivid accounts of her spiritual warfare experiences, spanning from 1953 to 2024, provide a glimpse into the unseen battles that many of us may not even realize are unfolding around us. Her gift of discernment of spirits is something I have not personally experienced, yet I find it entirely believable. Each story in the collection describes true spiritual experiences such as witnessing evil entities and encountering fiery darts—metaphors that resonate biblically but also speak to the inexplicable realities one might face. These encounters are described with an authenticity that draws readers into her world, revealing how scripture serves as both a shield and a weapon against the forces of darkness. Crystal Mary Lindsey's narrative approach is unique in that she provides chapter and verse references rather than quoting scripture directly, inviting readers to explore the biblical texts further at their own pace. This method ensures that the reader is not overwhelmed and can engage with the stories in a way that feels personal and profound. The collection is not just about the events themselves, but about the power of God's Word spoken aloud in the face of these challenges. The diversity of these experiences, from unexplained fragrances to the more directly confrontational encounters, demonstrates the broad spectrum of spiritual warfare. Each tale is accompanied by beautiful chapter graphics that complement the narrative, enhancing the reader's journey through these spiritual landscapes. While not every reader will have had the same experiences as Crystal Mary Lindsey, her stories serve as a reminder that there are unseen forces at work in the world. Some may find these accounts entertaining, while others might find comfort in knowing they are not alone in their experiences. Personally, I found myself wishing for more depth in some of the stories, wanting to linger longer in the moments she describes. Despite this, the book succeeds in its mission to equip, encourage, and enlighten those who might face similar or unique spiritual battles. Through Crystal Mary Lindsey's testimonies, readers can gain insight and confidence in the authority of God over all things seen and unseen. This book challenges us to ponder the spiritual dimensions of our lives and ask ourselves: How might our own encounters with the unseen shape our understanding of faith and the power of God's Word?

Fighting Evil Spirits

Evil spirits are unseen to the human eye, yet they are very real. Some people will laugh at this, but they are the ignorant ones. I have just published a VERY SHORT read on Kindle that reveals my experiences.

The Price is only 0.99 CENTS BATTLING the UNSEEN — A Lifetime of Spiritual Experiences... For decades, I have witnessed firsthand the spiritual realm, both its light and its darkness. As a Bible-believing Christian, extraordinary encounters, unseen by many, have shaped my faith and understanding of God’s power. This book chronicles real-life experiences of spiritual warfare, beginning in 1953, and my personal responses as I relied on God’s Word, our greatest weapon, against unseen forces. From Demonic attacks to divine victories, each account reveals how scripture became my sword, bringing protection and triumph in the face of evil. Though I have also been blessed with angelic visits, this collection focuses mainly on encounters with darkness, to equip, encourage, and enlighten those who may face similar battles. I hope that through these testimonies, others will gain insight, faith, and confidence in God’s authority over all things seen and unseen.

It's an education. 

I am a university graduate and still fell short of understanding. 

America versus Australia My late husband grew up in Tennessee, USA, while I was raised in New South Wales, Australia. I had always assumed that, since we both spoke English, we used the same words in the same way. But it didn’t take long for me to realize just how wrong I was. 1.Early in our marriage, he took me to a hardware store and told the man behind the counter that he had a long list of honeydos to tackle. I stood there, puzzled, thinking he meant honeydews—the sweet, pale-green fruit similar to a rock melon. As I wondered where all these melons were, it suddenly clicked. He wasn’t talking about fruit at all! He was referring to a honey-do list—a collection of household tasks his "honey" (me!) wanted him to do. It was my first real introduction to the charming, and sometimes bewildering, differences between Australian and Southern American English. 2. Next my husband took me to visit a dear friend of his in Kentucky, a man he fondly called "Old Buddy." With a proud grin and a thick Southern drawl, his friend announced, "I got me a whale in the back!" A whale? I blinked, trying to process what I'd just heard. How on earth could he have a whale in his backyard? My mind conjured up images of an enormous swimming pool—though I couldn't imagine how he'd managed to fit a whale in there, let alone why he would want one. As he continued speaking, his enthusiasm growing, the truth finally dawned on me. He wasn’t talking about a whale at all—he was saying he had a well out back, and he was immensely proud of it. I let out a laugh, shaking my head at my own misunderstanding. It was yet another lesson in the unexpected quirks of Southern American English! 3. When I brought my husband back to Australia for a visit, we settled near the ocean. While shopping for groceries one day, I casually mentioned that there was no way I was going to the beach without buying a pair of thongs. To my astonishment, he suddenly blurted out, loud enough for half the store to hear, “You ain’t wearing no thong!” I stared at him, completely baffled. What on earth was he going on about? Then, spotting a pair in my size, I plucked them off the shelf, held them up, and declared, “I absolutely am!” He looked at me like I’d lost my mind. “Them thar are flip-flops, not thongs!” he said, shaking his head. That was the moment we both realized just how different Australian and American English could be—and how easily it could lead to some hilarious misunderstandings!

Book Reviews

As an author, I know how valuable reviews are, yet they can be so hard to come by! Even when I price my Kindle books at just $0.99—or offer them for free—I rarely receive feedback.

Now, at 80 and homebound, I read a lot of books. Unless a story is uninspiring or overly familiar, I always take a moment to leave a review. It doesn’t have to be long—just a simple,  “I enjoyed this story” can mean the world to an author.

Publishing a book takes countless hours—writing, editing, designing a cover—all to bring an uplifting story to life. A few kind words from a reader can make all that effort worthwhile.

I was thrilled to receive this beautiful, extended review for one of my stories.

My review of this video:

A heartfelt thank you to Susan Berry for creating a powerful and moving video for my husband Raymond’s book, U.S. Marine Vietnam Sacrifice. This short yet impactful trailer perfectly captures Ray’s incredible story of bravery, resilience, and unwavering positivity.

Her dedication shines through in every frame.​

When Enya Rafferty receives a mysterious packet from beyond the grave, it turns her world upside down. It launches her on a quest to uncover a buried family secret.

Her journey takes her deep into the heart of Brolga, an isolated Outback town where her great-grandfather once built the foundation of their family legacy.

After settling into the family’s old homestead, Enya stumbles upon a hidden photo album, leading her to explore the family graveyard. One stormy day, as she stands atop the hill behind the house, a lightning strike transports her back in time to 1899.

Lying unconscious, the dashing landowner, Lockland Dawson, finds and takes her in. The local doctor arranges for a nurse, named Linda, to care for her. Enya struggles to understand her sudden ability to travel through time. She is torn between explaining the unexplainable or embracing her new reality.

And what will happen to their budding love, IF she’s forced to leave?

With each passing day, Enya learns to trust in God’s plan, using her skills to serve the community, even delivering a life-threatening birth.
