I was hoping to finish Unbound last night but I was just too tired.  Chapter 11 is titled “Should I Be Afraid?” and is basically talking about how we shouldn’t be afraid of the devil or any of his angels of darkness.  The chapter starts with this story (and I love it) Born in Yorkshire, England, in 1859, Smith Wigglesworth was a plumber known for his faith.  The story is told that one night he was awakened by a creaking...
