The story is filled with several stylized battles between angels and demons. The demons are ugly and say hateful things like, “Jarret has a seat prepared for him in Hell.”
Two adult men fight.
A boy falls from a height and breaks his leg on a rock. Blood streaks the rock. A troubled teen speaks harshly to his younger brother on several occasions but really lets loose in the climactic scene, just before the younger brother forgives him. Jesus is shown in one scene, bruised and bloody and with wounds in his hands, as He offers mercy to the troubled teen. Profanity: None No explicit profanity. Bad language (usually from a demon) is indicated with phrases like, “A stream of curses spewed from his mouth.” A troubled teen also uses bad language, but phrases like “curses erupted from Jarret” are used in place of the actual words. Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Moderate A troubled teen smokes cigarettes in several scenes, drinks a bottle of wine in one scene, tries to get an alcoholic beverage in another scene, and experiments with marijuana on two occasions. His behavior is encouraged by a demon, who hopes to enslave him, but it is challenged by several characters including his father, a monk, and his younger brother.Editorial Reviews
Loved this book! Will be passing on to my teenager to read. Really found myself thinking about the spiritual battle raging on around us. I found comfort in the author's explanation of the Angels that surround us. So many messages and explanations of the roles of temptation and prayer in our daily lives. -Catholic Press Association
