Book Review : Ascent From Darkness

Ascent From Darkness  A true story BY: MICHAEL LEEHAN


Finally with all the commotions of daily life, managed to get through this amazing novel! Definatly a 4-5 star book...but that could be me speaking from emotion since I love true stories! This story was a good read and made me not want to put the book down but at the same time felt sorry for the man experiencing all of this turmoil in his life.

At times I had to question the book , as to wether or not an actual human being could experience these symptoms of spiritual closeness/ enlightness and darkness that very closely resembled depression and other related mental illness. As I continued to read, it started to make more sense that Michael Leehan was indeed "possessed" by the devil's strong powers of manipulation.

After offering himself to the Devil, Michael mild disturbances from nausea, insomnia and anxiety to the more severe loud noises, voices whispering and the physical lacerations which are not conciously of his owndoing until the 'episode' is over. The longer Michael is under the Devil's influence the more he realises he is slowly slipping from reality. 

Luckily for Michael, a family member intervenes and offers him support and encouragement to seek the help of the pastor that he needs and before it's too late Michael manages to recieve escape from the spiritual world back into reality without the forces of the devil.
