Utter Alarmist Garbage.

I began playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1983. I became Saved, and Sanctified by the Blood of Christ on Nov. 19, 1998. And I can tell you right now, that after nearly 35 years of playing the game and nearly 20 as a Saved person, this is simply nonsense. Matthew 7:1 tell us not to judge, lest we be judged. Yet this author does precisely that and casts a game... A. GAME. One more time, for clarity... A GAME. ... in a light as being demonic and something that'll destroy your life and consign your soul to the fires of Hell. That being true, how did I get Saved? Is the minister who helped me do it also corrupt? He never played the game, to my knowledge. Avoid this book. It's a bunch of absolute alarmist garbage.

A Christian Viewpoint

I used to be into this sort of thing (D & D, etc.) and now that I know better, and have truly found my way home to God, I am not only repentant of what I have done, but also, I feel it is necessary to tell others about the dangers. PLEASE, don't allow D & D and similarly themed things into your home. I wish my parents had taken a stronger stand. This is a good book. I am Catholic, the book is from a Protestant perspective. If you value your soul and your children's souls: READ THIS BOOK AND HEED THIS BOOK!
