This book is a true story and heartbreaking. It’s eye opening and thought provoking. I really struggled with book I didn’t resonate with the writing style. The ending was abrupt to. I considered DNF’ing but I am glad I persevered. It is a good book and will definitely make you think but it was just not for me personally.

When My Soul Went Dark by Jesse Farrell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! After reading this book I feel the need to walk into a church. I had no idea what this book was about but so happy I was approved for this ARC. Very dark and disturbing but necessarily so. Even more disturbing was when I discovered the novel is based on true events! I am shook. This story will stay with me for some time. Like the tittle reads, it was a novel and sin and redemption.

True story and hard to read. It us very disturbing on quite a few levels. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

This nonfiction book is a true story. it is the gruesome story of a young boy becoming caught up in satanism. It started when Peter ran away from home. He knew his loving father was wrong in the way he gave love to his son. Peter finds a friend on the street who helps him become a member of a gang. Steven decides he will go all the way to the top and become a boss of street gangs. When his friend dies, he becomes morose. Adopted by a Satanist, he attends his first black sabbath. He becomes excited by all the occult happenings. Peter takes the name of Sephtis and became a high priest. He did blood sacrifices in the name of Sephtis. Why? Satan has him go to college to become knowledgeable of Christianity and its history. As a youth pastor, he is very successful in counseling such as he has couples divorce plus more. When he loses his wife, he eventually breaks down. He decides to have Satan forgive him by doing a very special sacrifice. Does Peter do this? What will his future be?

It’s a novel that I found hard to forget due to the challenges Peter faced in his life. This book gives a look at Satanism which is needed to be seen. Ii is a world so shocking and awful that I think people need to be aware.

A terrible childhood, disturbing teenage years, and rebirth. 'When My Soul Went Dark' is a tale of a child that succumbed to circumstances and was persuaded to do terrible things. There was no one character that I found particularly interesting. The writing style was simple but that did not take away from the story. The book ended abruptly, but I guess since it's based on true events, that where the events ended.

As much as the writing of this book is poor, I am really glad I did read it and thank you NetGalley for sharing this with me.

What attracted me to this book was the theme of the story and the fact that it is based on a true event. The book made me realize how hard the enemy works to infiltrate and destroy the good in this world. There's a saying by one of the women I respect so much, " The devil you are playing with, is not playing with you." and that is so true in this story. My heart breaks, especially for those young abused children whose parents are cruel and evil. But thankfully, we know who wins in the end! LOVE.

Attempt number 568 to bring back the Satanic Panic. Horrible writing abound, chapters are basically unnecessary due to how quickly pages go by, this book didn't need to be made and I'm angry I even went in interested.

This was heartbreaking, but it does make you think about how easily children can be persuade away to a world of depravity. Also it was eye opening on how hard the enemy works to infiltrate and destroy the good in this world. I did like it was nice and short, and that did show how community does look like in a Christian environment.
