 THE
SORCERER'S STONE!
INTRODUCTION
Why are people fascinated by witchcraft?
First, there is the thrill of the unknown. It all seems so
mysterious that people are lured on and on till they get in trouble.
Second, it claims to offer great personal power—power
which, in reality, it is never able to deliver.
Third, upon dabbling with it, people sense that more than
human power is present.
After they are involved deeply enough, the curious discover the whole
thing has become a pool of quicksand, from which it may be impossible to
escape. They are being captured by a mysterious force—a supernatural mind
which cannot be seen.
The end result may be demon harassment or possession, in
one form or another. It may take the form of unshakable depression or it
can lead to criminal actions, insanity, or suicide.
This book was written to sound a warning against an attractive, yet
captivating, power which is in many of the books, movies, and videos on
the market.
Framed, within a dramatic story set in a New England school, are facts
needed by the reader about one of the most insidious dangers of our time.
The methods of witchcraft are not taught in this book; but
enough facts are given to alert the reader to its special names, the
nature of its attractions, and the dangers resulting from it.
Included as part of the story are actual instances
which have occurred to people who have dabbled in witchcraft.
Larry Grant, the central character of the book, is a person
who is genuinely good. A solid Christian who, by his clean, godly way of
life, provides an example worthy of imitation by anyone aspiring to live a
better life.
A day-to-day example of basic Christian living is
demonstrated in the first part of the book. Later, in answer to practical
questions by students at the school, key points on how to come to Christ
and stay close to Him are explained.
A truly worthwhile book, designed to really help young people prepare for
the future.
