"The Ordained Demon" by Oladapo R. Osuntokun, MD, is a thrilling and thought-provoking book about a young priest named Michael.
The book is a thrilling combination of self-help, Christian fiction, and insights into Satan's tactics and temptations. Anyone can learn how to overcome them and be saved.
Michael's life is full of potential, but his pride, flawed character, and lack of reliance on God's Spirit reveal how Satan seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. The author weaves fictional stories from Biblical representations to teach essential lessons from the Bible in each chapter.
The book starts with a narrative similar to Hannah's in the Bible.
Hannah prays to end her infertility, and God blesses her with a child. Michael's mother also prays to God with hope and receives the same result. This outcome makes her conclude Michael is the answer to her prayers, and the story follows his life from childhood to adulthood.
At first glance, Michael embodies the ideal child, displaying exceptional academic performance and placing trust in the will of God. However, confusion, emptiness, and a lack of focus come into play, and his life destiny seems blindsided by temptations.
The book prevails in teaching how Satan attacks the children of God, altering and impacting their futures that were meant to be determined by a higher power.
The end of each chapter features "Reflection" and "Straight Talk" sections that offer Biblical wisdom, encouragement, and tips for navigating life's temptations.
This thrilling book is about a demon destined for destruction, not a Catholic priest anointed for the good of the people. The fictional story is plausible and provides a wonderfully creative and vivid read, teaching and encouraging those who read it to know Christ but remember to watch out for Satan's craftiness even more.
