Description

In this book Bob Larson discusses the forces that are influencing America's youth to sell their souls to Satan--ghoulish games, horror films, black metal music, and drugs, as well as the occult enticements in our culture. Larson gives specific ways parents and counselors can combat these forces in the lives of teenagers.

I guess if I was to rate it on what I expected, it would have received 3 or 4 stars, but I have to be honest. This book is terrible. Although it does state some facts, most are taken out of context. Like for example, a caller who says he's a Satanist and wants to sacrifice things because he loves

listening to Slayer. Well Bob makes Slayer out to be evil and bad guys because they aren't willing to write a letter to this kid to tell him to stop worshiping Satan. They did say that his parents and family should talk to him and get more involved in their kid's life, but they are not going to try to take the place of good parenting. More than half of the book is either proven lies or statements taken out of context. I love how he says that Dungeons and Dragons has been proven to be linked to 123 murders and suicides. I'm sure anything could be linked to murders and suicides; Twinkies, Prozac, The Bible? He is a huckster, which I already knew, but I wanted to read this book just the same.
