5.0 out of 5 stars
Jeff Godwin's sencond book about Satanic music, May 25, 1998
By A Customer
In Jeff's second atempt, he remains to to character and creates a book just as good as his first (The Devil's Deciples). It just a little redundant, but there is alot of new material covered. Again, I believe Jeff is the most fundamentally sound authoir on this subject. All his books are a must get if this type of discussions intrest you.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Give me a break!, March 31, 2009
Jeff Godwin is an embarassment to Christians. Half of what he says in this book is not true. KISS does NOT stand for "KIngs in Satan's Service," or indeed anything. Gene Simmons has constantly explained that it means nothing more than that thing you do with your lips, and that they wanted a name that everyone can relate to. And I have been to two KISS concerts, and there has never been any altar call to Satan. Satan wasn't even mentioned at any of these concerts. The song "Hotel California" is not about the Church of Satan, and that is NOT Anton LeVay's face on the album cover (it was actually a black woman who was still a bit hung over). I have been to three Stryper concerts, and they ALWAYS glorify Christ. I have been to one Petra concert, and they have NOT done or said anything that even remotely glorifies satan. Furthermore, how can anyone take this guy seriously when he actually says in this book that rock stars are actually demons incarnated into flesh. Only a complete moron would believe that! If that were true, then all one would have to do is to rebuke one of these "demons" in the name of Jesus, and they would disappear back to the abyss. Rock stars are human! I have read this book, and The Devil's Disciples. His words are full of utter nonsense, and full of hatred for these guys. He acts as if these rock stars are worse than the Taliban or Al-Queda! He publically mocks them for how their faces look, which isn't very Christian of him, since that is how God made them to look. For instance, there is a picture of KISS, with the caption, "Which is uglier, their faces, or their music?" He calls Ozzy Osbourne a "human geek." Would Jesus behave like that? I don't think so! But I think He would call Jeff a hypocrite or a son of a viper. In this book (or the previous one) he writes about how after an album is recorded, they call up a demon to bless the music. Is this guy serious??? If that were the case, then every single rock record ever recorded would be a huge hit, and that is clearly not the case! St. Anger, anyone??? And why would any rock star encourage their fans to kill themselves, since it is the fans that keep them in business? If that were really true, then these rock stars would soon be out of a job, since there would be no one left to buy their albums.
Now I am not saying that rock stars are angels. Of course many of them live decadent lifestyles. But then, so do many bankers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and day care workers. Jeff Godwin should ask himself, WWJD--what would Jesus do? Would He condemn these rock stars and call them names? Or would he reach out to them, and be more concerned with their salvation than with how long their hair is, or what kind of music they play?
And by the way, if there really was such a thing as satanic music, why would satan wait thousands of years to use it? And why hasn't God said anything about it in the Bible? If something was evil or sinful, God made sure we knew about it. Yet, in the issue of music, God has said nothing about any "evil music." Hmmm---could that be because music in and of itself is not evil? Can it be used in evil ways? Of course! Anything can! But there is no music that is evil in and of itself. If there were, God would have warned us about it, just as He has warned us about everything else that is evil.
I will say one thing about his books, they are mostly amusing.

Godwin exposes the plan to bring Antichrist through rock., May 12, 1999
By A Customer
In Dancing With Demons we look at how Satan and his demons ensnare young souls through rock music. He not only looks at backward masking and the occult connections of many stars (e.g. Led Zeppelin and Heart) but he also reveals what really happens at so-called "Christian Rock" concerts. A must read.
