What other authors say about The Ishbane Conspiracy:
"When I was teenager God used the piercing words of Randy Alcorn to open my eyes to spiritual realities and yank me out of the clutches of darkness. This gripping novel can do the same for you. Do yourself a favor and read a book hell would love to censor. The Ishbane Conspiracy is going to change the way you view your life." "The Alcorns portray these characters with fresh insights and such clarity they seem like people I've met. What gives the Ishbane Conspiracy its intense intrigue is the way these writers manage to lift the veil and let us see what goes on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm. The conflict doubles, and so does the ultimate victory. A job well done by this talented father/daughter trio!" "I loved The Ishbane Conspiracy, and I'd love to see it in the hands of every high school and college student in America!" "I just finished a book that I will now recommend to every teenager and their parent that I meet. If you fall into either of those categories I implore you to go directly to Amazon.com or CBD.com or your local bookstore and purchase, The Ishbane Conspiracyby Randy Alcorn and his daughters. Although it is a work of fiction, it is the most important parenting book I have ever read, specifically for teenagers. It is hard to describe, just please trust me on this."
"I thoroughly enjoyed The Ishbane Conspiracy. The authors did a great job, and the story gives so much food for thought. I wish this book was required reading for student and parents across our nation."

I am an interim I had my two middle school age children read The Ishbane Conspiracy. The impact it has had on them spiritually is nothing short of miraculous. As a writing assignment for my daughter, I had her write a conclusion for the main characters. It was so touching. She “got” the message. I thank the Lord for using your gifts for His glory and helping me and my family get to know our Savior better. - R. H.
I am an interim youth leader for a small youth group of God-believing teens. But we have witnessed a revival among them with Lord Foulgrin's Letters being read by one of our seniors and now we have bought The Ishbane Conspiracy for the whole group. They are hungry to witness and we have started being active in our church as well. They always remark, "We were just sitting back and letting Satan win. We were lifeless!" I had read Screwtape Letters and found Lord Foulgrin's Letters delightful as well. We can't wait to dive into the college student's lives in The Ishbane Conspiracy. - M. B.
I have read your book The Ishbane Conspiracy. Oh, it was so wonderful! I can't say what I meant, because I'm from Germany and this is my first year with English lessons. But this book was so great, that I need other books from you!
Through this book, I have learned, that I was Christian in my head, but not in my heart. After I read this, I prayed and I gave my life to Jesus once more. I cried and the Holy Spirit was with me. Sometimes when the devil comes and wants to hurt me, I read this book as a guidebook of God. And after this, I know, what He wants and I know He loves me. - J. J. (14 years old)
Your book The Ishbane Conspiracy has been an incredible blessing and helped work a miracle.
I had ordered almost all of your books, I hadn't yet read late last year and was working my way through them. I personally love Money, Possessions & Eternity.
One of my daughters (22 years old) was looking for a book to read and read Ishbane. It moved her much closer to the Lord in an amazing way and helped her to see stuff I had been trying to get her to see for years (having read most of Randy's books)!
Then she gave it to my wife (whom I have been separated from for 51 weeks). After repeated adultery by her I had moved out. I was about to serve divorce papers.
The scales fell from her eyes like for Rob when he entered Heaven in the book! She humbled herself before the Lord and repented. She came to my church this Sunday (the first time she had attended church in years).
She is now saved and the Lord is calling us back together! He had kept me from finding anyone else during the last 12 months. Praise the Lord. His ways are mysterious but He has worked a miracle here—it will not be easy given the past—but I know He is already renewing us both and our relationship.
Thank you all so much for this book! - P. H., Australia
I just finished reading The Ishbane Conspiracy for the third time. This time, I had my highlighter in hand! This book has made the rounds through many of our youth leaders as well as youth group members. It should be required reading for all parents. - K. R.
I especially enjoyed The Ishbane Conspiracy because I'm 22 years old and it was such a short time ago that I was the main characters' ages. Thankfully, I was raised in a Christian home and went to a Christian school, so I did not have to experience some of the things that Brit, Jill, Rob, and Ian faced. However, having your and Angela's and Karina's writings put things in a new perspective. I realize that I see the effects of the spiritual battle in the few people I know who are younger than I (and a few who are older!). Thanks for great books, especially Lord Foulgrin's Letters and The Ishbane Conspiracy. - K. R.
This was a fantastic reading. I think this book should be required reading of all parents, no matter how young or old your children are. Thank you for this wonderful insight into the enemy's workings. I am having my grown daughters read this book. - M. S.
WOW! I was very moved by this book. What an excellent job in exposing the numerous lies and traps of the enemy of our souls. I am recommending it to everyone I see, especially those who are working with youth in any area. I don't think I have ever had a work of fiction affect me in such a way as this book has. My eternal perspective is definitely changed. - H. H.
I am a 14 year old Dutch girl. I've read your book The Ishbane Conspiracy and it was amazing. I see so many things around me that show the other ways—many of friends like Harry Potter and they say it is benign. Things like that make it sometimes hard to believe, because I can't see that the readers of Harry Potter are doing anything wrong.
Reading The Ishbane Conspiracy has opened my eyes for the spiritual war 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I've learned that every choice I make brings me closer to God or breaks me off. There is nothing else.
I am aware of the power of His blood, I am aware of our almighty God and that gives hope. Thanks for The Ishbane Conspiracy. I realize much more than before that I always will have to choose between Satan and God and that the big spiritual war is not over yet, but that we will win. - In Christ, M. W.
I have read your book The Ishbane Conspiracy. Oh it was so wonderful! I can't say what I meant, because I'm from Germany and this is my first year with English lessons. But this book was so great, that I need really other books from you!
Through this book, I have learned that I was a Christian in my head, but not in my heart. After I read this, I prayed and I gave my life to Jesus once more. I cried and the Holy Spirit was with me. Sometimes, when the devil comes and wants to hurt me, I read this book as guidebook of God. And after this, I know what He wants and I know He loves me.

I just finished reading The Ishbane Conspiracy and had to write you. I am 42 and the mother of 3 teenagers. I have already lived through much of the warfare that is so well revealed in your book.
We have had many youth come and go through our doors (my husband and I are both teachers) and my concern for this generation keeps escalating to the point where I want to scream at parents to wake up...and to our churches too. I will certainly be promoting your book as it is an excellent tool to open our eyes to the enemy's plans for our precious children.
Thank you again for this timely book...I gave it to our eldest for her birthday. She began using a Ouija board in grade 7 and had some very rocky years. She also struggles with eating, so this book was very relevant to her. She said that the letters in the book from the demons helped her understand why she struggled with some of the thoughts and feelings that she still battles with. She loves the Lord but is still not totally free from the effects of her past. My husband and I are praying and believing that she will be soon.
I am praying the Lord will use me however He can to help other parents realize the dangers and the need to protect their children.

I recently read The Ishbane Conspiracy and found it very thought provoking. I have recommended it to my mother and to some of my family who are entering their teenage years.
I found many similarities between the character Rob and myself. I also pondered suicide in my late teens when one of the gang members I ran with was killed in a gang related fight. Looking back now almost ten years to that part of my life, I am now very aware of the unseen influence of a demonic presence that was influencing my thoughts.
I give thanks to God daily for the saving knowledge in Christ Jesus that I have now found.

I just finished reading The Ishbane Conspiracy and couldn't just close the book and forget about it...there is too much to remember! I read much of this wonderful book with tears running down my face, and have spent much time in prayer and regret. If only my husband and I had known how the Enemy operates when we were brand-new Christians bringing up our four children. We never would have caved under pressure to let them make their own choices regarding their Christian upbringing. (Don't want to go to Sunday School? Okay then, just this once-don't want to make them hostile toward church. My son wants to hang KISS posters in his room and play their music? Okay, as long as he goes to Wednesday night youth group...and on and on.)
Now that we have lost our oldest son to a drug-related killing and another about to follow, and a daughter who lives her life taking advantage of men, I live with guilt every day of my life because we didn't take a stand. The one bright spot in all this is our youngest son, who lives in Portland, who is the most decent and honorable person I know-but isn't walking with Jesus Christ. How glad I am that God forgives, because I'm having a hard time forgiving myself.
Your book has been a real wake-up call. I am praying it will be read by multitudes of parents who desperately need to read it. I have started a campaign at my church to place this book in the hands of everyone, and am urging them to tell others about it everywhere they go. This book should come with a "MUST READ" label on the cover!
Thank you and your daughters so much for writing this book, and reminding us, once again, of the spiritual battle being waged for the souls of our children.

I'm writing you from Iraq. I got both of your books, Lord Foulgrin's Letters and The Ishbane Conspiracy. They really opened my eyes to the devil's plan for us. Now I can see more clearly and share what I learn. It's pretty hard over here. People are dying every day. It gets sad at times, but I keep praying, thanking God for my life.
I'm stationed in Baumholder, Germany. I have a church in K-town Germany and God has been moving greatly there. I'm glad to be a part of the kingdom of God. I want to minister to teens and share the good news with them.
Please pray for the soldiers over here. I'm ready to come home to my wife and five-year-old girl. Pray for them too.

It is 2:41 in the morning and I just finished reading The Ishbane Conspiracy. I should be in bed, but I could not put it down. I finished it and Lord Foulgrin's Letters in about a week and a half. Your books are fantastic and opened my eyes to a lot of things (so much so, that I've started changing things in my life). But that's not why I'm writing...I'm writing to let you know, that through your books, my relationship with the Lord has deepened to a whole new level that has changed me from the inside out. I've been praying constantly and trying to learn more. I just wanted to thank you. And to let you know that Jesus is working in my heart daily (which I assume is the reason you write these novels).
I grew up in a Christian home but turned away from it in my teenage years when I began to have more freedom. I wasted a lot of precious time focusing on the wrong things and doing the wrong things. I became pregnant at 19, unmarried. Fortunately, as God has a wonderful way of doing, He turned the situation around and it became a blessing. Both my husband (the father of our baby) and I have become Christians (for me, again, for him, for the first time) and will be married for three years in January. Our darling daughter is two-and-a-half and happily involved in her Sunday school and hopefully growing up with the knowledge that if God can change Mommy, He can do anything!

I've gone through many trials where God has taught me to maintain an eternal perspective. Your writings on heaven have deeply impacted my life. As you know, the church has mostly misconceptions about heaven because Satan and his minions work to blaspheme God and His dwelling place. Your writings on heaven and the growing spiritual life are excellent and rooted in the scriptures.
Your books Lord Foulgrin's Letters and The Ishbane Conspiracy gave me a better understanding of demons' strategies to take us down. Also, I have discovered the joy of giving and discovered from your writings the doctrine of eternal rewards. I thank you for that so much in teaching me to store treasure in heaven and not on earth. Earlier, I asked you what you thought about me buying a Corvette. I thank you for giving me guidance in this area. I have found it is more blessed to give than receive. I could not understand how you as an author would give most of the money away but now I know why. Your articles on Christian living have also been a big help to me in walking the walk.
