ASCENT FROM DARKNESS BY MICHAEL LEEHAN – BOOK REVIEW

Ascent from Darkness: How Satan's Soldier Became God's WarriorAscent from Darkness: How Satan’s Soldier Became God’s Warrior by Michael Leehan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book is totally hard to put down. The fact that it is a true account of how a man practicing satanism for two decades was redeemed by the Lord’s saving grace from total destruction makes it even more hard to put down.

Admit it, we’re all intrigued by the enigma of the dark side. The fact that the best sellers list is constantly dominated by stories of blood-sucking vampires, new age books on spirit guides and so many other things that lead us away from the true gospel of Jesus Christ. The accounts of Michael Leehan about his encounter with poltergeist demons, the blood sacrifices and the demon possessions proves that we’re really battling principalities in the spiritual realm.
