One thing in particular the high priest wants to make you aware of, no one has ever gotten out of our secret society alive. You and I were brought into it by the special workings of the spirit, and we are to be in subjection to them, not they to us. With these words Roger s friend tried to convince him to remain within the camp of the prince of darkness but Roger had caught a glimmer of Light and was determined to learn more. This gripping account of Roger Morneau s trip into the supernatural provides a glimpse into a world that few ever a secret world of deception and demon worship. Now, for the first time, the unabridged story has been released. Charmed by Darkness is the full account of Roger Morneau s miraculous deliverance from Satan s altar to God s mercy seat. It sheds light on the titanic struggle taking place in the world today and warns of the subtle and almost hypnotic lure exerted by spiritualism. It is a life-changing story that affirms our only hope is to be found in Jesus Christ, through His sacrifice and death on the cross.
The lady I am taking care of is a lifelong Seventh Day Adventist. Her daughter got this book for a young family member who she feels is in danger due to her interest in things related to supernaturalism. I enjoyed reading the book as I am already a Christian and am interested in learning more about Seventh Day Adventism.
I don’t think people in their 20s who aren’t practicing Christians would enjoy the book, though. The author was born in 1925 and writes in an old-fashioned style. Also, there is a lot of detail about Adventist doctrine in the part about his conversion. Another thing that would turn off some readers is the author’s negativity toward Catholicism, as he grew up Catholic and didn’t find the answers he was looking for in Catholicism. In addition, if one doesn’t believe in fallen angels or the existence of evil spiritual forces, you would probably consider parts of the book silly.
I especially enjoyed the epilogue, which is entitled “A Ministry of Reconciliation” and had information and encouragement on praying for others.

Inspiring. Understanding the power of darkness and the greater power from the light. So blessed reading the testimony of Roger Morneau and the power of prayer. Thank you God for this book 🙏
This book seems to be the original manuscript for the book that was released as A Trip Into the Supernatural. It includes more details about Morneau's early life and conversion as well as more information about his time with the Satanist cult. The extra details add considerably to understanding how miraculously God worked on his behalf and give an even clearer picture of how even seemingly innocent curiosity regarding Satan's activities can lead one into serious danger.
One thing I have always appreciated about Morneau's books is that, while pulling no punches when describing the power and deceit of demons, his focus is ever on the power and love of the Savior. Therefore, his books never come across as scary, as often happens with other authors when talking about the enemy's power. Instead, I'm always left with a sense of how very blessed we are to have Jesus to fight our battles with the enemy on our behalf.
Absolutely excellent insight to the realm of dark powers, and how to fight against them, especially through the power of prayer! Roger has an amazing story which recounts many miracles, one right after the other!
I feel bad about this. I REALLY wanted to get through this book. I tried. I just couldn't finish. Maybe someday I'll go back and keep pushing through it. The writing is just not my style at all. It did not seem natural. The way thoughts were written is not how they are in my head, at least. The dialogue was also the same. I kept thinking, "did they really talk like that?" Anyway, the story seems interesting, but since there are so many other books/authors I wanted to read, I didn't want to continue fighting through this one.
Interesting book especially if it’s all true. Certainly, at the very least, a good reminder that we do not “wrestle against flesh and blood, but against evil ruler…”.
