Delusion

Owen was a normal high school student with a great life. He had a beautiful girlfriend, played on the football team, and was surrounded by a group of great friends. That is, until he found a well on some abandoned land, and a man who offered him a drink of water that changed his life forever. Suddenly, Owen is seeing things that no one else sees: Shackles and chains that bind his family and friends, terrifying creatures that connect themselves to the cuffs attached at the end of the chains, and angelic beings who seem to have a power that even the demons cannot withstand. Do the things Owen is seeing have anything to do with the suicide epidemic currently threatening to destroy his high school? How can this young man with no faith in the supernatural suddenly see invisible forces of terror provoking his fellow student's demise? Similar to Frank Perretti's This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness, The Delusion explores spiritual warfare in a fresh way, reminding us that We All Have Our Demons.

A year and a half after the horrific Masonville High mass shooting, Owen is determined to uncover why the Creepers have converged on his land and the school-a necessary step toward his ultimate mission to drive evil forces out of Masonville. A supernatural visitor makes entrance into his life, claiming to have all the answers while leading Owen down an intriguing yet dark life path. Meanwhile, the suicide epidemic is now compounded by abductions and murders-all unsolved cases. Owen and Ray Anne seek to intervene, but it seems hell itself is out divide their commitment to each other and the cause. When Jess, Owen's ex-girlfriend, re-enters the scene and her infant son goes missing, a divided community and a couple-Owen and Ray Anne-must come together to save the day. As the rescue mission intensifies, Owen's courage and conviction bring about clarity concerning his future, including how to eventually defeat Molek and his army of Creepers.

Four months after the demonic ruler Molek was dragged off Owen Edmonds's land by angelic forces, the spiritual battle in Masonville, TX, is once again intensifying. Owen and his girlfriend, Ray Anne, continue their mission to persuade the town's residents to unite and turn to God, but their efforts are stymied again and again. Even their fellow Lights seem unaware of the looming danger. Under relentless spiritual attack, Owen and Ray Anne must come face-to-face with their own failures and choose whether they will turn toward God and each other or allow their pride and fear to tear them apart. When everything looks dark and all their resources are depleted, where will they find hope for themselves and Masonville? The Defiance is the third book in the Delusion series, bringing closure to this thrilling series.
