The Strange Man by Greg Mitchell (The Coming Evil Trilogy)

Hi Readers, 

If you scare easily, this isn't the book for you. 

If you are afraid to look or glimpse evil in the face, this is a book that will unnerve you. 

This is a cutting edge, true, gritty book that starts out with the "campfire" or scary stores that kids are often told. Right up at the front of the book, the first attack begins. There is a very Spiritual, yet X-Files feel to the first attack, it is quickly understood that some very demonic forces have ben unleashed on a little town that is in a rut. An almost dead town, with a people with numb and hardened hearts. A town where Jeff is the Pastor of a church, and his brother Dras (Draz for those who need to pronounce it) lives in almost total disfunction. At 22 Dras hasn't grown up, he is too busy coping with his failures and disappointments to himself, and others.  

When a very strangely perfectly handsome man shows up at The Rave Scene Club, Dras figures out that this "perfect" man is after his best friend and probable love of his life, Rosalyn. Dras quickly figures out that this "man" is no man at all... and that Rosalyn and himself, and many others are in life and soul threatening danger! 

Greg Mitchell has shown quite well how we need to be wise to the devices of the emery. How lulled by life people often are, and how we need to be awake, aware and ready to disarm the traps and plans that are laid to harm us. Salvation is readily available for us, sealed with the blood of Christ, and the way to Jesus is shown in this book.  

I am glad I have read it, and I really enjoyed it. The ending is open, but that is good. This is, after all, a trilogy and I want to read all of it.

About the Book: (BOOK IMAGE near bottom of post! It keeps doing something odd to my  spacing! Sorry about that!) 

Dras Weldon lives in a world of horror movies and comic books. Twenty-two and unemployed, he is content to hide in the shadow of adolescence with a faith that he professes but rarely puts into action.

But when a demonic stranger arrives and begins threatening his friends, Dras is drawn into a battle that forces him to choose which side he is on. In a race against the clock, he must not only fight these evil forces but also somehow convince his best friend, Rosalyn, to join him—before she is lost forever.

Engaging and darkly humorous, The Strange Man is the first act of a trilogy that depicts a world where monsters are real and simple men and women must overcome their doubts and fears in order to stand against the unspeakable creatures of the night.
