Everyone has heard of ‘World Book Day’ - promoted through Schools. We make absolutely no apology for saying that World Book Day is an WORLD BOOK DAY International Recruitment Day for the devil. PARENTS & TEACHERS – BEWARE ! A large percentage of the books promoted are written by occult enthusiasts. Their writings obviously devil-inspired, with the specific aim of ensnaring a whole generation of young people, children and even toddlers.

The Bible warns: This know, that in the last days perilous times shall come…… evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 1 & 13.

On a practical note. Many parents find World Book Day just another irritation and another drain on their finances, which they don’t need in these days of recession and financial turmoil. World Book promoters don’t care about your finances - they want to sell books irrespective. Jesus said: Take heed that no man To quote one Parent, ‘School is a very expensive place these days. What Does World Book Day is the next thing – it’s money, money, money all the time. deceive you. Matthew 24 v 4 We just cannot afford it, and the children don’t understand, when you God’s Word don’t have the money to give them. This nonsense should be stopped - Jesus says, The thief, (the devil) cometh they don’t need all these books anyway.’ Our reply: We couldn’t agree not but for to steal, and to kill and to say ? more. destroy, but , I (Jesus) am come that they Buy your child/children a Bible/Bible Story Book and introduce them to might have life and that they might have JESUS before evil men/women come in and introduce them to the devil. it more abundantly. John 10 v 10. The Bible says, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22 v 6 Jesus said: BEWARE of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. ? Matthew 7 v 15. Freda Kerr. M.U.C.H.

- 1 - THE HOLY BIBLE

THE INFALLIBLE, INDESTRUCTIBLE WORD OF GOD THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN THE WORLD.

‘Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ Psalm 119 v 105.

- 2 - Chapter 1. God’s Word – The Holy Bible. Although this writing is a Warning concerning World Book Day, we would at the outset, like to promote the most important Book in the world, that is:- God’s Word – The Holy Bible.

The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. Within its pages are the Instructions and Guidance for our daily living.

Psalm 119 v 105 proclaims, Thy Word, is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

It is our Prayer that after reading this warning on World Book Day, that countless people will take heed to this and as a result be determined to get acquainted with God, His Word The Holy Bible and its Teachings. Central to all Bible teaching is The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ, proclaiming that Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins. In acknowledgement of His sacrificial death for us, it is therefore essential that we come to Jesus in Repentance of our sins and accept His Salvation.

In view of what has just been written, we would urge and encourage everyone who has not already done so, to please think seriously regarding their Salvation. Salvation, or to use another terminology – to be ‘born again’ is absolutely vital, if you want to go to Heaven when you die. The Bible says:-

Except a man be born again, he cannot see The Kingdom of God. John 3 v 3.

Salvation/Born again - simply means acknowledging that by nature we are born in sin, into a sinful world. We are therefore sinners in need of The Saviour, who is JESUS. When you acknowledge this fact, repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Saviour, this then, is ‘your New Birth’ or ‘your Spiritual Birth.’ This means you are now ‘born again’ of The Spirit of God. As well as being a Member of your earthly Family, you have now become a Member of The Family of God. - 3 - Jesus said, I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life, no man cometh unto The Father but by ME. John 14 v 6.

If you don’t understand what Salvation/Born Again is all about please ask for our Leaflet: ‘Born Again’ – What does it mean? Or visit our Website www.muchpublications.co.uk.

The Holy Bible, not only has Instruction for Godly living but also ‘Warnings’ of things to watch out for - including the tactics of the devil. The Bible is also a Book of Prophecy - foretelling things that will come to pass in the world just prior to Jesus’ Second coming. We believe we are living in those days, right now, in our generation. Ample evidence of this - is the fulfilling of prophecy before our eyes every single day.

The Holy Bible is the most up-to-date Book in the world. Why? Because it tells us Tomorrow’s News - Today.

This is why we encourage everyone to make it their No.1. Book. Once you start reading The Holy Bible you will discover your interest in secular reading will wane considerably. The Holy Bible - is truly an amazing Book.

Now to World Book Day. Our advice is - Beware – Take Heed!! So often in The Holy Bible, The Lord Jesus Christ, gives the warning, ‘Beware’ - ‘Take Heed.’ Today in this 21st century, this warning is still very much applicable to us all. We must always be on ‘the alert’ against the tactics of the devil. This warning is particularly relevant for Parents who are bringing up children in these days when evil is abounding on every side.

Jesus warns repeatedly, Take heed that no man deceive you…. Matthew 24 v 4

If we want to protect our children we can never be complacent. We must always be alert as to what Books they read, what they watch on television, DVD’s, online or at the Movies. Parents and Teachers have a great responsibility - so we urge you please - take heed to the following most - 4 - serious warning. Furthermore, don’t just take our word for it - investigate for yourself.

Beware of World Book Day and the sinister motives of the Key-Players, ie. those men and women at the Top of ALL Book Clubs – who are working together for the promotion of World Book Day. This may seem ridiculous nonsense to you but these people ARE on a Recruitment Drive for the devil.

The Bible warns: This know, that in the last days perilous times shall come…… evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 1 & 13.

The Bible says . .Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18 v 6.

So shall they fear The Name of The Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, The Spirit of The Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59 v 19.

- 5 - Chapter 2. Serious warning - World Book Day. We make absolutely no apology for saying that World Book Day - is an International Recruitment Day for the devil. A large percentage of the books promoted are written by occult enthusiasts. Their writings obviously devil- inspired, with the specific aim of ensnaring a whole generation of young people, children and even toddlers.

When children bring home messages from School, that World Book Day is on a particular date, they get so excited, full of anticipation, looking forward to this ‘great fun day.’ Come to school dressed up as your favourite character! It all sounds wonderful and the excitement grows as the big day draws closer.

Needless to say neither Parents nor Teachers can see any harm or danger. It all appears good innocent fun, whilst at the same time encouraging our children to read more.

As the promoters of World Book Day, present this great fun programme, with the aim of encouraging our children to read more, naturally as Parents and Teachers we believe it is a good thing - but is it?

Is World Book Day, a great fun day, or is there a more sinister motive behind it? What kind of books are the children encouraged to read? These are the questions we ask Parents and Teachers to consider.

We at the Mid-Ulster Christian Helpline have been investigating the reading material and the findings are horrific - to say the least. We have the evidence and can verify that many of the books promoted are occult-based - written by authors who, without the shadow of a doubt - are occult enthusiasts. The books are deliberately written to captivate young minds, encouraging them to read more and more about magic, the supernatural etc.

Undeniable deceit. Admittedly not all the books promoted - are ‘bad.’ Some are indeed very - 6 - acceptable, but then that is how it has to be – the Promoters have to present World Book Day as a very innocent ‘great fun-filled story-telling day’ - an International event for the benefit of all the children of the world. What Rubbish! It is undeniable deceit! It is a crime against children!

What appears to be ‘good’ is really evil in disguise. The underlying motives certainly deserve to be exposed. The ‘innocent books’ promoted are nothing more than a smoke screen or an outer veneer on an under-lying cesspool. The Bible would describe the outward appearance of World Book Day, as ‘the devil appearing as an angel of light.’

We all know the moral of the story ‘Come into my parlour said the Spider to the Fly.’ The promoters of World Book Day have the very same motive. The great majority of the books they promote are most undesirable for young impressionable minds. We would urge parents and teachers to investigate for yourselves. We are living in the days of which The Bible warns, when evil is called good, and good is called evil. Again we repeat Jesus’ warning,

Take heed that no man deceive you….Matthew 24 v 4 …….evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3 v 1-13. Evil men and seducers waxing worse and worse! The above Scripture is surely a perfect example of World Book Day promoters and their associates at Book Companies? It is a downright shame to see how these people are ensnaring, and drawing ever increasing numbers of innocent children and young people into the realms of the occult.

They have deceived both teachers and parents alike, at the same time Authors are making an absolute fortune for themselves. For example J.K. Rowling with The Harry Potter Books/Movies (which are nothing more than training manuals for witchcraft.) J.R.R.Tolkein with Lord of the Rings - plus hundreds of other occult-based books which fill up bookshelves in the bedrooms of children and young people throughout the world.

These books, promoting evil have been published in phenomenal quantities and subsequently have flooded our society with very little objection from

- 7 - mainline Churches, Christian Organisations, or Parents. In fact, when we went on the streets and to the cinemas in our local area, to hand out leaflets Warning of the Dangers of the Harry Potter Movies/Books - we were astounded to see how many ‘so-called’ Christian parents were in the queue with their children patiently waiting for the cinema to open.

As we spoke to people in that queue – we were shocked by the large number of Parents who had absolutely no interest in the things of God, nor had they any inclination to bring up their children with a knowledge of The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. All they did was mock and laugh – accusing us of trying to put a ‘damper on the children’s day to the Movies.’ Sadly for them, there will be a day when they will regret their words and actions, as they realise just how deceived and blinded they were - to the truth!!

The Bible says, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22 v 6.

But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts. Jude v 18

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine: but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4 v 3-4.

How sad it is that you never see a queue of Parents with their children, lined up to go to Church - or even to take them to Sunday School. This proves the decline in Christian upbringing for the poor children who are our next generation.

It is a fact well worth noting, that Parents today, who neglect to give their children Biblical teaching, will live to regret it. They will reap the consequences of allowing their children to read occult-based Books and watch occult-based Movies, which entice and encourage them into supernatural practices and witchcraft.

- 8 - Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6 v 7.

When children start ‘putting into practice’ what they have learnt from occult books and movies, their Parents who exposed them to the occult in the first place, could unfortunately end up being victims at the hands of their own offspring. This has already happened in various parts of the world. It is a very sobering thought.

The Bible warns in the last days: ……children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. Matthew 10 v 21.

The subtlety of the devil. Although we have written regarding Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc. Books/Movies which have already flooded society, for obvious reasons we do not reveal the names of other Books or their Authors, which we have recently investigated, as this would only serve as advertisement. We must always remember, that as far as occult enthusiasts are concerned - any advertising is good advertising.

In referring to books we have investigated, it is sufficient to say that within their pages you will read of the paranormal, death, murder, the dark arts, the supernatural, ghosts, poltergeists, werewolves, vampires - the list is endless. Even in books for toddlers you will find words like spells, witches, demons, gremlins, spirit guides, magic, freaky, creepy, spooky etc.

These words are deliberately ‘dropped in’ to familiarise little children with the supernatural in the hope that as they get older, these names and words will be everyday terminology to them. They will be accepted as just part of their vocabulary. This then, breaks down their resistance to evil, making them more vulnerable and apt to participate in occult activity!!

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in The Faith…..1 Peter 5 v 8- 9

- 9 - The Good News is – good will always triumph over evil. The Lord Jesus Christ has already won the victory over the devil at Calvary. The devil to Jesus must bow. As The Bible says:

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of The Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59 v 19.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you…….James 4 v 7- 8.

God is in control of all things, and we are confident that one day, in the not too distant future - HE will intervene to bring many ‘occult ensnared’ people, young and old alike, out of darkness into His marvellous light.

Jesus said, The thief (the devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10 v 10.

Jesus said, What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11 v 24.

- 10 - Chapter 3. The History of World Book Day. World Book Day, or International Day of the Book as it was originally known, began on 23rd April, 1995. This date was chosen in honour of Author Miguel de Cervantes, who died on 23rd April 1616. (It is interesting that Author William Shakespeare also died on 23rd April, 1616.)

World Book Day also became part of the St. George’s Day celebrations. It was a tradition in Medieval times that on 23rd April, men would give roses to their lovers and in return the women would give them books.

World Book Day, was to be an annual event organized by The United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing and copyright. In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, the date had to be changed from 23rd April to the 1st Thursday in March annually, as 23rd April often clashed with Easter school holidays.

World Book Day, was officially launched in 1998 at The Globe Theatre in London by the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Several million schoolchildren in Great Britain and Ireland were given a special £1 World Book Day token, which could be redeemed against any book in any participating Bookshop. All World Book Day points of sale, carried a special ‘Logo’ to help unify the initiative through all outlets.

If a parent couldn’t afford to buy a book for their child – World Book Day promoters had made provision for such children. They published a special book for the event, priced at £1 or €1.50, which allowed the child to use his/ her Book Token – to get a book, for free.

My oh my - how kind - how considerate - what nice people the promoters of World Book Day - appear to be ?? Please don’t be fooled - don’t get caught out by falsehood - it’s all part of a ‘rotten to the core agenda.’

Every child and young person in full-time education in the UK and Ireland receives a World Book Day Token which they can exchange for a free book - 11 - or £1 off a full-price book or audio book priced £2.99 or more. With this promotion, millions of children are participating, which is achieving the desired outcome for WBD promoters. (Our response to this is - yes, the devil is busy but ultimately God is in control.)

Since 1998, a similar pattern has continued, gradually growing each year to encompass more initiatives. In the year 2000, instead of a single £1 special publication, four separate £1 Books were published, covering a wider age range. Since then, each year has seen a new set of special £1 books published.

This trend continued until the 10th Anniversary. That year 10 special £1 Books were published. How good this all appears - these people supposedly working tirelessly for the good of all children. Sadly it has all the trademarks of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

The Bible says, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7 v 15.

Every year, the number of children receiving a free World Book Day Token has increased. (How very interesting!) Children are encouraged to ‘dress up’ in historic costumes - or in an outfit of their favourite modern day literature hero - BUT what if the child’s hero is one of these evil characters from an occult-based book or movie?

Allowing your child to dress up as an evil character - could mean exposing him/her to the possibility of becoming what that ‘character’ represents!! So you think this is ludicrous?? Perhaps you are laughing right now - thinking this writer is such a fool. Well that’s up to you. You are entitled to your opinion. However, it is a fact worth considering, that, there are hundreds of young woman in society today who openly call themselves ‘practising witches.’ Ask any of them did they ever dress-up as a witch when they were a child going to Hallowe’en parties - you will get your answer!

- 12 - The Bible says, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good, abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5 v 22.

It is common knowledge that countless actors/actresses who played the part of an evil character - or even some who had minor roles in occult-based films - either died young or their lives were cursed. Investigate for yourself - there is ample evidence to be found.

So parents, Please take note - if you allow your children to be exposed to evil and to the occult - then expect an awful outcome. If you love your children – you will surely heed this warning.

In September 2007, World Book Day announced the revamp of the Spread the Word promotion for 2008 - into an ‘on-line’ book group featuring a number of adult books.

Since then, World Book Day UK, has followed a similar pattern, gradually growing each year with more initiatives, such as Quick Reads and Books for Hospitals.

It’s amazing that World Book Day promotions have been accepted into Hospitals – yet sadly in many Hospitals, The Gideon Bibles are no longer allowed to be placed in the patient locker beside their bed !!

World Book Day is supposedly a registered charity. It doesn’t raise funds for itself but does support Book Aid International and Readathon, as its nominated Charities. This doesn’t really make sense. Surely if World Book Day is itself a Charity, why then, are they supporting other Charities ??

This is a decoy - it is all part of the bigger plan. They promote and support - Book Aid International and Readathon, encouraging schools to hold special fundraising events to send books to children less fortunate than themselves. - 13 - How cunning and deceitful can they be? They couldn’t care less about your children or my children, or even poor disadvantaged children. They’re on a mission - their main aim and focus is to entice as many innocent and unsuspecting children as possible into realms of darkness. World Book Day receives support from ACE (Advisory Centre for Education) DIUS (Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills) and NIACE (National Institute of Adult Continuing Education.) Isn’t it interesting that support is coming from Education Centres and Institutes etc. This reminds us of God’s Word to Daniel - Prophecy regarding the end times. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12 v 4. Yes, man’s knowledge in worldly matters, is advancing and increasing more and more, but what of man’s knowledge of God, and spiritual matters. Man has at every corner rejected God and His Word – sadly their knowledge has increased to such an extent, many feel they have no need of God. What a shock awaits them!! We are reminded of what The Bible says, . . . the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Corinthians 1 v 18

Even Government has changed God’s Laws, they have their own man-made laws, the consequences of which are evident. Today we are a nation under judgement. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, (that is Biblical knowledge) because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,…..seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God…….. Hosea 4 v 6. Funding for World Book Day activities comes principally from the major sponsors, National Book Tokens and the UK book trade (publishers and booksellers). When you realise the source of the main funding for World Book Day activities, then surely this speaks volumes.

- 14 - National Book Tokens, UK Book Trade, Book Companies, are all one and the same thing. They are all working hand in hand, with Authors, bringing it all together under the umbrella of International World Book Day, furthering the cause of the devil, but at the same time becoming billionaires, at the expense of innocent children. The love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6 v 10. But what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8 v 38. Unless these people repent and trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they’re going to end up in hell with the old lying deceiver whom they have served. They will then discover the error of their ways - but it will be too late. The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6 v 23. It is our Prayer that even as these ‘child destroyers’ read this book, that their conscience will be pricked. We pray they will get no rest night or day until they acknowledge their wickedness, and turn from all that is abominable and evil. The Bible says, The Lord is …not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance…..2 Peter 3 v 9 God our Saviour….. would have all men to be saved, and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2 v 4. When people who have been involved in the terrible evil of the occult, repent, and turn to The Lord Jesus Christ for salvation - they are the very people whom Jesus can use most effectively to warn others of the dangers of such wickedness. This has happened time and time again. One man whose name springs to mind is Bill Schnoebelen. Once an occultist - now a servant of The Lord Jesus Christ, wonderfully used throughout the world for God’s glory and the extension of His Kingdom. Seek ye The Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near... Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto The Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55 v 6 –7. - 15 - Chapter 4. Remember the deceit - Don’t take the bait ! In view of what has been written, our advice is - Remember the deceit - and don’t take the bait!! The subtlety behind World Book Day is unimaginable. By giving children Free Book Tokens, the ulterior motive is obviously, that more and more children will ‘take the bait.’ Their strategy is, ‘get them when they’re young.’ Start by giving them a so-called innocent little book, then, gradually introduce them to all the other books which are available, including ‘occult-based’ books - whereby their appetites will be whetted for more and more of the same.

Their ultimate aim is that eventually young minds will be programmed with the desire to explore the darker realms of the supernatural, leading them unsuspectingly and deceitfully through that ‘abominable doorway’ into the full-blown horrors of the occult and dedicated devil worship.

PRAY for Change! This is where we, as Christians come in. Enough is enough - we must Pray that somehow, some way, as only God can do, He will smash and bring to nought all their evil plans. The Bible says:

Have Faith in God. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11. v 22-24

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, The Spirit of The Lord will lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59v19

So we are Praying - and Believing - that The Lord himself will smash and obliterate this ring of evil out of existence.

The devil and his agents have designs on children and young people - everywhere - even little children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Their main aim and focus is to entice as many unsuspecting children as possible into the devil’s kingdom through ‘the dark arts.’

Surely there is ample evidence of this in our society today, where we have - 16 - multitudes of young people who are crazed out of their minds through occult involvement (devil-worship). How or where did they get their knowledge in the first place - through the internet, Books and Movies of course. This is why there is so much terrorism - so many murders - so much suicide.

What treacherous deceit !! Parents and Teachers take note. World Book Day promoters are really promoting of ‘The Occult.’ Thankfully God knows full well what is happening. He is in control. In His time, their subtlety will be laid bare for all to see and He will deal accordingly.

Various Book Companies operating from the same Address. All Book Companies have had an inter-connection for years. In examining Brochures and Promotion Leaflets from various book companies during the 1980’s - 1990’s, including ‘The Christian Book Club’ (which incidentally includes a large amount of anti-christ rubbish - totally foreign to ‘true Christianity.’) Yet it was interesting to discover they all had the same address. So here you have the proof of ‘the big umbrella group’ all working together, not necessarily under the same roof but certainly amalgamated in using the same PO Box. No.

Forerunners to World Book Day. The Scholastic Book Club/and various other Book Clubs were fore-runners to the bigger plan of amalgamation into what is now International World Book Day. Back in the 1980’s when our own children came home from school with Order Forms from The Scholastic Book Club, we saw no harm in it. However, we do know better now.

Looking at two of the Scholastic Brochures, which we still have in our possession, we immediately recognise how many undesirable titles were included which were most unsuitable for children, especially of Primary School age.

We also have in our possession Promotion Leaflets from ‘Worldbooks’ offering all sorts of books, but particularly those of a very dark and violent nature, at ridiculously low prices, eg. 5 for 25p. or even 1p. each. It was

- 17 - blatantly obvious that this was a promotion of evil - but done in a most clever and subtle way. Interestingly, these promotion leaflets and catalogues were sent to us - through the post, after we had given our address, on the Scholastic Book Club Order Form.

As everyone is aware, it states on all Order Forms that applicants must be over 18 years of age. However, we have proof of a family whose 12 year- old foster child, completed an Order Form from a Book Club, in his own handwriting. He ordered four very ‘undesirable books,’ and to the foster carer’s horror, these four books arrived through the post in the young boy’s name.

When a complaint was made and the books returned - a very weak excuse was given for not having checked out this application. Obviously no investigation whatsoever was carried out. This goes to prove they didn’t care who ordered the books, just as long as they secured ‘a sale.’ Reminding us again of what The Bible says,

In the last days…..evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3 v 1-13.

As I write I have before me one of the Promotion Leaflets mentioned above. It reads, Any 5 for 25p. ‘Chillers, Thrillers and Fiendish Killers - Coming through your door.’ It is absolutely horrendous. As Parents, we should have been taking action against these Book Clubs then - but sadly we didn’t - so here we are today. Now, it is our little grandchildren who are targeted and exposed to evil.

Even worse, is the fact that these Book Clubs are working together in promoting World Book Day - through our SCHOOLS - the place where we expect our children to be safe and protected. Needless to say we don’t blame the Schools or the Teachers - we have all been deceived. Thankfully it is not too late to do something about it - NOW.

- 18 - Chapter 5. God in ultimate control. It is a fact that more and more schools across The UK are opting out of Religious Education and replacing it with ‘sex education.’ In many areas, Schools are encouraged to forget about God, Bible-reading and Prayers. We are however, thankful for those Schools where a good measure of Christian education is still maintained. For the schools where Religious education has been replaced by ‘sex education’ - we ask the question: Has this been a good idea? Has this ‘Ignore God – Bite the apple Society’ been successful? Especially when you consider the thousands of teenage pregnancies and worse still the increasing number of abortions - over 7 million since 1967. Abortion is undeniably the slaughter of the innocent ‘unborn child.’ With the promotion of sex, violence and even abortion, through the media, Books and the internet - is it co-incidence that ‘Apple Communications’ display their symbol as an ‘Apple with a bite out of it?’ Is the world a better place to live in because Christian education has been replaced by ‘sex education?’ A million times NO!! Since Government decided to change God’s Laws and make their own laws, society has been in chaos. It is a fact that any Government, Nation or individual, who turn their back on God, and encourage their children to do likewise - will reap what they have sown. Wholesale devastation! One wonders what the outcome will be for a country like Britain where over 7 million abortions have been performed since 1967. In the ‘slaughter of the innocents’ - Britain has now exceeded Nazi German/Hitlers Holocaust. This is a most harrowing thought. What a harvest to reap, unless we get on our knees before God in repentance- asking Him to have mercy upon us as a nation. God is good, He is merciful and He will forgive all who genuinely repent and turn to Him. He says in His Word, If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble - 19 - themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7 v 14. Men may think they are so very clever, they don’t need God. They may think they are in control of their own destiny - how wrong they are. They may have left Jesus and His Salvation out of the equation but The Bible says the day will come when:- ...at the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow… and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The Father. Philippians 2 v 9-11. People need the Lord. It is up to Christian people to witness tirelessly for Jesus. To reassure everyone they meet that there is always hope and help in Him, for far too long the devil has had his fling. Our society is wrecked with a whole generation of disillusioned young people who feel they have no hope - that life is not worth living. Countless young people have, and are committing suicide. Why is this? Because they have been starved of the genuine Biblical Teaching of God’s love and The true Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Instead they have been fed a cocktail of lies through devil-inspired Books, Television, DVD’s and Horror Movies based on Books written by devil-worshippers. For example:- DID YOU KNOW THAT WALT DISNEY WAS A DEDICATED SATANIST? This is now common knowledge to most people. However if you need evidence - write to us or ring for more details. Very often, even the background music in Disney cartoons/movies has a hypnotic and controlling effect on children. Many children are known to have nightmares after watching some of the occult-based Walt Disney DVD’s/Movies. Sadly parents are not aware of the facts, nor do they understand the reason why their children are so disturbed.

Nowadays there are very few innocent and genuinely fun cartoons. Even the Tellytubbies cartoon is used to promote Gay Pride. Little purple Tinky

- 20 - Winky is a great favourite with young children, but he is protrayed as being ‘gay.’ Hence the minds of little children are being trained to accept homosexuality as good, when the Bible teaches it is an abomination – a detestable practice in the sight of The Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ doesn’t hate homosexuals but He does hate the sin to which they are in bondage. Christian people everywhere need to stand shoulder to shoulder in The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ to see this evil in our midst completely obliterated. We must continually proclaim The Good News, that on Calvary’s cross, by His death and resurrection from the dead, Jesus, defeated the devil, sin and death. He is now seated at the right hand of His Father ever interceding on our behalf. There is ALWAYS HOPE IN JESUS. For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him, (Jesus) might be saved. John 3 v 16 –17. The Lord Jesus Christ, is Almighty, all powerful. He defeated the devil at Calvary. Jesus is in the business of setting the captives free. Turn to him today. There is Power in The Blood and in The Name of Jesus. The Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1 v 7. Praise The Lord - there is Good News and Hope for all who have been deceived and trapped in satan’s snare. If they call upon Jesus - He will rescue them. The devil wants to deceive a whole generation of young people but - Jesus wants to save and set them free.

Jesus said, The thief, (the devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy:, but I, JESUS, am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10 v10. When the enemy (the devil) comes in like a flood, The Spirit of The Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59 v19 - 21 - Chapter 6. The early Church. In the days of the early Church, sometimes called the ‘Apostolic Age,’ the situation in society was exactly the same as it is today in our generation. What happened? God poured out His Holy Spirit upon the people. The eyes of many who were deceived by the devil, through witchcraft etc. were opened. They realised the devil who ensnared them was a liar. They repented, turned from their evil ways and acknowledged JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOUR. The following was the wonderful outcome and triumphant victory over the devil.

….and fear (of God) fell on them all, and the Name of The Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men, and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. SO MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD AND PREVAILED. Acts 19 v 17-20.

We are confident that what happened in the early Church, will happen again in our day. The devil may have had his fling for far too long but The Lord is in absolute control. The devil’s day is almost over, he can only go as far as The Lord Jesus Christ allows him – remember Jesus defeated him at Calvary and he is still defeated today.

The only reason the devil has had success in society is because people allowed him. Only a small percentage of the Christian population took a stand against him and his evil doings. From the 1960’s there has been an occult explosion, through rock music, drugs, promiscuous lifestyle etc. However, it was allowed to proceed unabated because too many Christians and mainline Churches were complacent and didn’t take their stand or pray as they should.

Fervent praying Christians who did see the danger and did send out the warnings, were ignored and branded as being over-the-top. They were mocked by the rebellious people, who didn’t want to hear or to listen to the voice of God’s warnings. - 22 - Today, society is in a mess, they have as it were eaten of the forbidden fruit which tasted as honey in their mouths but now the evil of their doings is bitter in their belly as they reap the consequences.

However, Praise The Lord, His people are at last beginning to wake out of their slumber, a bit late we know, but as the saying goes, better late than never. God is raising His army of ordinary people who will faithfully serve Him, their extraordinary God. Oh yes, there will always be evil and deceiving people - but we believe we are going to see countless people brought out of darkness into The Lord’s marvellous light. The Lord our God is a great God. He is a merciful God - HE will restore unto us the years the devil has devoured.

So we say to all our Christian brothers and sisters, and to all those who, even as they read this book, have a desire to know Jesus as their Saviour - to one and all we say! Trust Jesus for your Salvation - for those who are already ‘born again’ - put your faith into action and take a stand against evil.

Now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of Salvation. 2 Corinthians 6 v 2.

….my brethern, be strong in The Lord, and in the power of HIS might…Put on the whole armour of God that ye many be able to stand against the wiles of the devil……and having done all, to stand.…. Ephesians 6 v 10-20.

Remember the Battle is not ours, it is The Lord’s. As the hymnwriter put it:-

Stand up, Stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross. Lift high His royal banner. It must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory, His army He shall lead, Till every foe is vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed..

In writing this short Book, it is a great encouragement to know, that many will heed the warning. Many will come to know Jesus as their Saviour. Yes, some may laugh and reject what is said, but it is still wonderful to rejoice - 23 - in knowing, that many will be brought out of darkness into The Lord’s marvellous light.

You may say - that is presumptuous thinking – how can you be so confident? Simply because what is written, is written sincerely under the guidance and inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit. As His Word has been proclaimed - He then gives the assurance:-

So shall MY Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55 v 11.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory...... Ephesians 3 v 20.

- 24 - Chapter 7. Conclusion - God’s Way is the Only Way. What misery we would save ourselves if we followed God’s Word and Commandments and kept within His Guidelines. How much different society would be, if all Parents lived by God’s standards and fulfilled their God-given responsibility of teaching His Word diligently to their children from generation to generation as is clearly instructed in Deuteronomy 6.

…The Lord our God, is one Lord: and thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou riseth up…….. Deuteronomy 6 v 4-7.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3 v 16 -17.

We proclaim to the youth of today. The Christian lifestyle is not boring as many would have you believe. There are lots of Christian young people who are enjoying life to the full in serving Jesus. Of course, there are times when it may not be easy, but you could say that of any secular profession. Take one day at a time and you will be surprised how The Lord will help you as you look to Him in Prayer every day. Be ‘saved’ TODAY!

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Ecclesiastes 12 v 1.

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these (other) things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6 v 33.

Trust in The Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3 v 5-6. - 25 - It would make a huge difference if those who are ensnared and held in the devil’s grip could take on board the following Biblical information regarding lucifer - the devil!!

How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee, shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth tremble, that did shake the kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of the prisoners? Isaiah 14 v 12-17.

They that see thee, shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee…. In other words, that day will come when, people will see the devil for what he really is - a liar and a deceiver. Don’t be deceived one more day - Trust Jesus as your Saviour today. The devil’s time is short. He is on his way to his final destination, the lake of fire, prepared for him and all his Christ-rejecting followers. The Bible says,

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20 v 10. JESUS is the One and Only true and living God. The Saviour of the world. Prayer in The Almighty, All powerful Name of Jesus – changes things !!

The Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1 v 7.

- 26 - Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. If The Son, Jesus, therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8 v 32 & 36.

Warning to Parents. Please, please parents be warned, you have a God-given responsibility for your children. They may be in great danger. Protect them from the wiles of the devil at all costs. If you have never acknowledged The Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, why not turn to Him today in genuine repentance of your sins. Invite Him to come into your life by Salvation. Then, get down to reading The Biblewith your children.

If you have asked Jesus to be your Saviour, encourage your children to do likewise. Without Salvation, neither you nor your children will enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John 3 v 3.

Again we repeat what The Bible says, Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22 v 6.

Pray for your children every day. Pray with them. Encourage them to read The Bible for themselves. It is the only Book available today which gives hope in the midst of chaos and despair. Talk to your children sensibly and lovingly about dangerous practices. If they already have occult-related books, videos or DVD’s, encourage them to burn them all, in accordance with Acts 19 v 18 which we quoted in Chapter 6 but certainly worth quoting again.

….and fear (of God) fell on them all, and the Name of The Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men, and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

- 27 - SO MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD AND PREVAILED. Acts 19 v 17-20.

After reading this book - if you are convicted of your sin, and acknowledge that you are indeed a sinner in need of The Saviour - then why not trust your life completely into His hands today. It will be the best decision you will ever make. PRAYER FOR SALVATION. Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge I am a sinner in need of your great Salvation. On the cross of Calvary You shed your own precious Blood, and died for my sins. On the third day you rose again from the dead. You are now seated on the right hand of your Father, praying for me. So right now I genuinely, from my heart, REPENT of all my sin, and ask you to please forgive me. I trust you now as my Lord and Saviour. Please help me to walk in newness of life with You. That the rest of my life I will live in obedience to your Word and Your Commandments. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.

Having said this Prayer with genuine sincerity in your heart, it is important that you tell some Christian person who will help you in your new life, in the service of The Lord Jesus Christ. Pray and read The Holy Bible every day. (We suggest the Authorised Version is best.) Get into a good Bible- believing Church where you can have fellowship with other Believers. Every Blessing in Jesus’ Name.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith The Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1 v 18.

….he that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. John 6 v 37.

The Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1 v 7.

O taste and see that The Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. Psalm 34 v 8. - 28 -
