This is the one phrase I read in Warrior in the Mist that totally spoke to me, "My very essence bled worthlessness as I looked into my future with but a spark of hope to keep me alive." That is profound in my humble opinion. The other one, "...together as beings, separate as spirits, masked by The Illusion and changed by The Lie." I find these to be very thought-provoking statements. Both of these statements seemed to describe my own experiences -- the worthlessness I felt being lesbian ..., and until I came out, my whole life seemed to be [like] "The Lie."

Loren Jenner has written an unbelievably amazing book that will very possibly be discussed in literature classes for decades to come. The journey taken by Angel Warrior is one of introspection, release of personal pain and the type of growth that we can all relate to when we meet our demons and slay them! The style of prose-like writing makes this book beautiful to read. The fluid, flowing words are soothing to the soul. Like a great classic, I can read Warrior in the Mist over and over, and enjoy it every time! I hope that people everywhere get the opportunity to experience this wonderful work.

SOME EXCERPTS FROM WARRIOR IN THE MIST:
"As I leaned my head upon her breasts, her softness pacified my inner restlessness. Her chest rose with the capture of a soothing breath then descended slowly upon its release. The rhythm of her steady sigh quelled my recurring gasps for air as my breathing eased into her hypnotizing cadence. The beating of her heart drummed upon the timpani of my ears, leading me to a magical world of inner peace." p. 23
"My dear love, I shall call you Angel Warrior -- ready to climb mountains and ford treacherous streams -- for in the union of the stars, an angel was born and a warrior chosen. Meet your life with the bravery of assuming your strength and claiming your name, for you have been exalted in the heavens with all the children of The Universe." p. 26
"I laid her down in the soft sand as I pressed my body gently against her nakedness. Warmth rushed beneath my skin the moment I kissed her full wet lips, setting the nipples that teased hers on fire. As my fingertips traveled lightly across her silken belly, her nipples hardened with excitement. When her fingers glided through my hair, I further explored the rapture of my lady." p. 29
"My tears formed tiny streams, falling more and more into one another. With a tender kiss on the cheek, she graced them with her full lips. As my gentle, inner rain slowly disappeared, The Promise magically silenced The Lie in my soul." p. 34
"Her entire being shook as her warm tears wetted the nape of my neck. I heard her cry in my own like the seagulls wanting for food overhead. We looked into each other's eyes with a love to fill the sea, and our hearts bled together in the birth of this new pain." p. 57
"... I stood wearily on the creaking deck. My body chilled in the freezing rain, and my faith in her passed by my breath. Numbed by the cold wind, I sank to the slippery wood beneath my feet. Icy rain pounded heavily over my body, driving nails into my shackled soul." p. 67
"My soul broke, and I met my pain in the night. As I cried, my tears blended with the sleet freezing upon my face. And so was the moment that I began The Journey to the core of my soul." p. 87
"I once feared that this stillness would torture me in its darkness — instead it cradles me in its comforting glow. " p. 92
"The Wound upon my breast seeped its last drop of blood as the healing waters flooded over my exposed skin. Wincing from the pain, I drew in a deep breath and filled my heart with unwavering compassion. I looked into my eyes with a love to fill the sea, and my heart stopped bleeding in the death of this old pain." p. 127
