The forces of darkness have pursued Laura since childhood.
“Demons lurk high above searchin’ and watchin’, like dogs sniffin’ out a fox on a hunt. They followed the path of light to track down that great your tender heart! They want to get at your heart so they can break it—to let all the light and truth spill out—to make the world that much darker! “Relentless ranks of Satan’s soldiers assail the keepers of hearts like yours. From birth to death, year after year, pain and misery haunt the innocent soul. The soul prays and cries, day after day, for relief—and sometimes even begs God himself to end their torment. “By cover of night, shadow demons visit darkened souls to whisper temptations. Demons drive evil men and women to carry out what demons themselves are unable to to cripple, to stab, and sometimes even to kill. The armies of darkness pursue for one purpose. That is to have that tender heart be tossed into the flames of Hell!
