God is a cancer

In an article entitled, 'Demons in the Christian bookstore', writer Larry M. Lake writes about "apocalyptic demon-hunting novels" such as This Present Darkness, and Left Behind and how they may restore Christians acknowledgement of the spiritual world but also give readers unrealistic expectations about spiritual life.
Lake also wondered if such books are reflecting "Christian dissatisfaction with the mundane ordinariness of real life in our culture."
I think he hits the mark here, Christians should never be satisfied with mundane or the ordinary. He also talks of a retired missionary pilot who was confused when publishers reviewing his memoirs wondered if there weren't more stories of spiritual warfare or "weird happenings."
Yes I believe spiritual growth tends to be slow and measured, but I think Lake is underestimating how painful and hard growth is. Careful loading of a seaplane is not conducive to growth, slow and measured actually requires pain and "weird happenings." It is hard enough to keep up our spirituality but to actually grow we have to constantly strive after more of God. And I don't think we can ever underestimate the Almighty. I wouldn't call Saul's conversion on the way to Damascus as slow and measured. Neither would I call Paul's life mundane.
And if "apocalyptic demon-hunting novels" help young people to become dissatisfied with their average life and begin to beg God for more miracles or to see angels and have their spiritual life grow like "a cancer cell", would that be so bad?
