A Very Unusual Demon !!
A Review of
Tosca Lee Demon: A Memoir (Nashville, TN: B & H Publishing Group, 2010)
$14.99 328 pp ISBN: 978-1-4336-6880-7
Reviewer: Forrest W. Schultz
Unlike most demons, who attempt to promote false theology, the demon in this story tells the truth about Lucifer and his Fall (to become Satan), about the Creation (per Genesis One) of Adam & Eve and their Fall, of Noah and the Flood, Israel, Christ and the Cross, and Salvation and the Early Church, etc. AND he even praises God for His creativity, and he claims that he wants to get back into fellowship with God (!!) and he believes it is unfair for God to provide a plan of salvation for fallen man but no plan of salvation for fallen angels! Of course, accusing God of being unfair is wrong, BUT all the rest of what the demon says is true, and it is really funny reading about him telling all these Biblical truths to a contemporary American unbeliever. Another thing that is different is that he speaks as an eyewitness -- he SAW Lucifer fall (and was one of those who also fell) and he SAW God create the world and Adam and Eve and he SAW the Flood and Israel and Christ and the Cross and His Resurrection and Ascension. This truly is passing strange, and it is not until the last page that we learn the demon's motivation for doing so. One of the most striking things about all this is that he is envious of humans. This is a very thought-provoking and well written story that I encourage you to read. I have never seen anything like it.
