Read OnlineA short story geared toward middle-grade readers. This light fantasy tale tells what happens when chronically bullied Tami inadvertently stumbles into Troll's March. Maybe the stories about the March's man-eating inhabitant are just parents' inventions meant to scare their children. Maybe... "Hhrraagh!" What was that?! Unfortunately, Tami is about to find out.The Root of the Trouble is Our Will. The struggle to surrender our will to God—to fight against self, selfishness, and self-preservation—is the fiercest battle that we will ever fight. The human will of Jesus was no different. It shrunk from God’s will as decidedly as ours. Without total submission to His Father, the fallen nature He inherited from Adam would have overcome Him as surely as it overcomes us. This book portrays the battle Jesus fought each day on earth. It paints a picture of his tortured steps, a blueprint of the journey that each one of us must take back to God’s will. How do we win this war against our souls? Only a closer look at Jesus can show us how, a closer look explored within these pages.
