Ascent from Darkness is an incredible true story about a man named Michael who had given his soul to Satan himself and lived for the kingdom of darkness, and how he made the transition to being saved by Christ and doing work for the Kingdom of Light. This story builds trust with the reader as it progresses, showing how the small steps into darkness turned into huge leaps and bounds that had Michael in the absolute pit of pits where his life was tormented and destroyed. The powerful redemptive work on the Cross is the true hero in this book. Powerful to read and opens ones eyes to the darkness that is really out there.
I thought I had a fairly good understanding from a Christian perspective of the darkness that we battle against, but reading this book has opened my eyes to an entirely different playing field. Michael's honesty is believable because he builds trust with the reader from page one through to the end. His interjections into his own story are compelling and powerful. Be prepared for this book to change your life if you'll allow it.
