The battle belongs to The Lord!

I knew there was a sequel to Dead Air, and when I found out that it dealt with the subject of death metal, I rolled my eyes just a little bit. But what people don't realize is, is that there really is stuff like that out there that is written in the pages of Abaddon. Now, a lot of you, like myself don't or didn't know what Abaddon meant before reading this book. So, I took the liberty of looking it up in Websters, and here's what it said... It defines Abaddon as "The destroyer, or angel of the bottomless pit; -- the same as Apollyon and Asmodeus." Read this book, and you'll find references to the name Asmodeus within the pages as well. We rejoin Wes Bryant. He is married now to beautiful Annette, and is general manager of KVCE. He discovers some things about his step daughter, Jennifer. Blood on the bathroom mirror, behavior that isn't her own. Enter Night Sacrifice. A death metal band, with demented lead singer Clint Blade who is deceived by Satan. Wes's son-in-law, Mark refers Wes, Annette, and Jennifer to a Dr. Brown, who knows his stuff about spiritual warfare. There are people out there who would like us to believe that music such as "death metal", "black metal" is merely entertainment. A lot of it is the work of Satan. Bands such as Slayer, Morbid Angel, Death, bands who do the work of Satan, and they don't want people to know that. I'd advise people not to be fooled. Choose your entertainment wisely. On a closing note, I'd just like to say that I, myself also listen to heavy metal. But the stuff I listen to is Christian, proclaiming the Good News! Bands like Tourniquet, Bride, Deliverance, Barren Cross, Mortification, all bands who stand by what they believe in. They believe in the Blood of Christ! These aren't just bands who sing "Praise God!" and then go get drunk and light up joints. Yeah, let's at least admit that music is music. But let's also try to stand by Psalm 150 that tells us to make a joyful noise!! And might I add, that clashing cymbals and stringed instruments are included in that particular passage! Let's just remember to glorify our Father who gave us that music. Don't give the devil anymore credit! If he reminds you about YOUR past, remind him about HIS FUTURE!!

A Fan not Foe

I really enjoyed the book. Especially when I was able to use it to make a friend (studying to be a psychiatrist) believe that I had MPD! True this is fiction, but some are real expiriences whether or not this man has expirienced them. While it seems laughable in it's extremity, it's not too far off should you isolate the events rather than lump them together. In any event, it makes for captivating reading. I have been reading it over and over again since I was about 12 (I first read it's prequel, Dead Air, when I was 10) and am reading it even now.

Abaddon

I like this book. It's one of my fav. and even though I'm just 14 I've read quite a lot of books and can discribe most of them.

Excellent ~ a good primer for those interested in the truth

This book, in it's treatment of "death metal music", is a must read for those who would like to learn the truth behind the phenomena. As any lover of rock music will know, there have been disturbing changes taking place in the genre ~ this book helps explain why in the context of a fictional story. Occasionally stilted dialog is overcome by the powerful content.

Sequel To: DEAD AIR by Bob Larson

This is the sequel to Dead Air. Wes is still deaing with Jennifer and she is now overcome by a popular rock star (Today's equivilent would be Marilyn Manson) This singer has brainwashed all of his fans and has them worshipping his god... Himself...
