Four friends enter a new year with idealistic goals for the future, unaware the next twelve months will mark the biggest changes of their lives. As they rejoice together and struggle through tragedy, Jillian, Brittany, Ian, and Rob are not alone. A battle rages and they're in the middle of it. With cosmic stakes, two armies fight over them-one seeks their victory, the other their destruction.
Jillian is picture-perfect on the outside, but on the inside is terrified of losing control. Brittany is a brilliant tough girl who trusts no one. Ian is a successful athlete who dabbles in the occult. And Rob is a former gang-banger who struggles with guilt, pain, and a newfound faith in God.
During one unforgettable year, these four college students find themselves in a series of battles between light and darkness. Threatened by competing worldviews and the lures of a culture of death"including the occult"they must take drastic steps to resist and survive.
As spiritual warfare rages around them, a demonic correspondence takes place. Readers eavesdrop on the enemy, overhearing his strategies to deceive and destroy the youth culture in general, and these four in particular.
Readers of all ages (this isn't just a "youth novel") will be fascinated by a story that unveils the longings, confusions, and battles of the younger generation. They'll see how dark spiritual forces target young people for destruction and how their Creator draws them to himself.
really not my fav| Posted September 16, 2008
while i usually like randy alcorn's books, well, this one i did not like at all. i pretty much hated it, actually. i'm not sure why. it could be because it was based on the screwtape letters - which i also did not like.
