The Veil Paperback – September 24, 2012

This book was AMAZING. I have never sat and read a book, outside of the bible where I could physically feel the Holy Spirit during reading in its entirety. Besides what other reviews have said about the book, Blake does a really great job of not just explaining what a seer is, the different types of angels and many great stories, but he also dives into the importance of understanding that the blessing isn't in seeing the angels or demons - it is in understanding who our Maker is and the great love He has for us. The greatness is in the Giver, not the gifts.There are so many great words that Blake supplies in his book, I have found myself just highlighting and going back and rereading. I received this book this week, started reading it on Friday and finished it Saturday evening. I couldn't put the book down and was in constant awe in the reminder of how much God loves us and how much He pursues us.Lastly, I was really enlightened by Blake's testament of our identity and authority in Christ. I grew up in a church that condemned Harry Potter books and advocated its burning as well as kept you in a perpetual state of "opening a door for Satan". The Veil served as a great reminder of the authority that we carry as Christians, we don't have to walk in fear of stepping on the figurative crack.Overall this book provided a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm, but also more importantly the lavish, deep, insurmountable love that Christ has for us. Just reading that was the main reason why I have already gifted this book to two other sisters in Christ as well.

This book changed the way I saw the world and gave so much insight to what’s going on around us spiritually. Fascinating. I finished it in less than 12 hours.

Great read. Easy, smooth read and was eloquently written. Could not put it down!

My husband and I absolutely love this book. We read it together during a road trip. Blake was very descriptive when it came to the angels and demons that he sees. What do you believe what he is saying or not, Blake make sure to not only tell if his experience but also to support it by scripture. He also references other books that were written if the reader wants to look into angels and Demons and seeing in the spirit world for further study. I would definitely recommend!

When I heard Blake speak on a YouTube video and then on a podcast, I knew that his book was a must-read! Sure enough, what he has to share in his book was just what I had hoped for. Blake tells his story of seeing into the spirit world in a way that helps the reader understand more fully the depth of God's immense love and forgiveness for us, His power to protect, and the reality that our battle is not against flesh and blood. I appreciate that Blake does not sensationalize, nor does he try to explain everything, yet the scenes he depicts are unforgettable. You'll come away with more questions than you had before, but in a good way. My heart was encouraged and my spiritual eyes were opened by reading The Veil.

I enjoyed the stories contained in the book and the sincerity with which the writer shares his experiences with the reader. I read most of the book, except for the chapters that teach the reader how to see in the Spirit. I personally disagree with his claim that this gift is for everyone. The writer says toward the end of the book: "Seeing isn’t a privilege; it’s your destiny." However, the Bible says: "But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that." According to Scripture, not everyone gets the same gifts. Telling people that everyone is supposed to see in the Spirit is like telling people that everyone is supposed to speak in tongues. The reality is that not everyone speaks in tongues, even if they are filled with the Holy Spirit. Some people have other gifts, such as serving, healing the sick, giving encouragement, teaching, and so on. Telling Christians that they are "supposed" to have this gift or that gift can make people feel inadequate in their walk with God if they find themselves lacking in said gift. Other than this observation, I honestly enjoyed the book and read most of it in a few hours. Learning about the spirit realm is always useful and interesting.

I really enjoyed this book and appreciate the author’s heart in communicating his experiences to us the reader. Very gifted writing. Thank you!
