to Evil – Trained to Deceive – The Jailhouse Way – Deeper into Satanism –

NOTE: From the
publisher: “For twenty years of his life, Michael Leehan lived and
worked for Satan. At age 33, he made a decision to serve the darkness
that he felt had consumed his life, but instead of making things easier,
it began a steeper downward spiral replete with ritualistic cuttings,
blood sacrifices, jail time, job loss, estrangement from his friends and
family, and actual murderous assignments from Satan himself….For
anyone who has ever struggled with spiritual warfare,
addiction, depression, or hopelessness, Michael’s story is a bold
reminder of the redemptive truth of the gospel that anyone—even a
soldier of Satan—can be transformed and used for the glory of God.”
