Like Lambs to the Slaughter

This is a very interesting book written by former new ager Johanna Michaelsen. She shows the dangers in spirit guides, guided imagery and visualization. She also gives information on storybooks on witchcraft and the occult that can be dangerous to innocent children.Most Americans have no idea of the extent to which the New Age occult evangelists have infiltrated our public school systems, the media, books, films, toys and games, and even cartoons. She not only unveils this, but documents it as well. Most importantly, Johanna, drawing upon her own unique understanding of the occult, spells out how to help children (or adults) who have fallen prey to these seductive philosophies.

This book is a must for Christian parents. The tricks and schemes that the enemy uses are so sneaky, and will go unnoticed by those not looking to or obeying God. Of course, a book like this will not make sense to many people of the world, who have not accepted Christ as their Lord, and Savior. It's quite alarming to see so many adults ignorant of the devices the enemy will use against their children, to destroy them in any way that he can. All's that can be said here is, if they can't see it so blatantly being portrayed in games, cartoons and other childrens items, they will miss it too when it comes in the forms of people, and other things quite unimaginable. If we only knew how many witches and warlocks teach in the school system alone, we'd be running to get our children out of the schools or systems that their in. Oh, I pray that we would wake up!!!!

Although a bit out of date by now (It was written in the 80s), Michaelsen's Like Lambs To The Slaughter provides signposts for occult influences on children that every parent should be aware of. Contrary to some of the other reviews on this page, what Michaelsen points out is both true and alarming. One may call it paranoid to consider cartoons such as the Smurfs occultic in content, but when the Smurfs feature Gargamel standing in the middle of a pentagram calling down a curse in the name of Beelzebub-- others would call it discerning. If you can get this book, get it. Though out of date, it will be helpful to you as you raise your children. I hope Michaelsen updates her work soon.

Any Christian parent--in fact, any Christian concerned about the spiritual welfare of children--needs to read this book. JM presents a great deal of useful information in a thoughtful and appropriate way. What you learn from the book could well save your child from many hardships, such as occult involvement or open doorways to oppression/possession, now and in the future. While this book was written several years ago, what you learn from it will enable you to evaluate current cartoons/toys/curriculums for their potential to harm your child. Please read this book prayerfully and ask God to open your eyes to any areas where your children many be coming in contact with evil influences.

This book is great-- and not just for Christian parents but I think all Christians should read this great book. It totally opened my eyes to the agendas of the media and other influences in the lives of children and adults in desensitizing the public to issues of violence, homosexuality, and the occult. I see that it's out of print now-- My suggestion is find a copy somewhere and read it-- Great Book!
