I first read this book right after it came out. At that time I was the pastor of Foundation Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia and also working a full-time job to support my family. I actually purchased it at Bergey’s Dairy in Chesapeake, Virginia, a Christian dairy that is Bergey’s Breadbasket today. I quickly devoured the book, since my wife and I had six children from the ages of 4 to 12, and we had a lot to learn about raising them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.​​

A Word About the Author

Johanna-Michaelsen.jpg

Johanna Michaelsen details her own deep dive into the world of the occult in her book The Beautiful side of Evil. In our book she identifies all manner of occultic paradigms that are being used to indoctrinate children and young people unawares. The following is from Hal Lindsey’s Foreword to the book:

​

"Like Lambs to the Slaughter is an epic book. It is must reading for every responsible parent and concerned educator. Most Americans have no idea of the extent to which the New Age occult evangelists have infiltrated our public school systems, the media (particularly programming aimed at children), books, films, toys and games, and even cartoons. Johanna not only unveils this, but documents it. " p.7

I want to include one further quotation, to give you an idea what I think all Christian parents need to go through in this important book. It is from Chapter 13: Nothing to Toy With:

​

"After all, aren’t children’s cartoons and other TV shows (not to mention movies, toys, comic books, and fantasy role-playing games) just an important and harmless form of play? To suggest that there is something sinister about watching the Smurfs and He-Man and playing with adorable rainbow-colored unicorns is definitely to risk losing one’s credibility with many parents and others who simply cannot see anything wrong with them…etc.

And yet it is a fact that many of today’s cartoons and toys are saturated not only with violence, but with hard-core occultism, some of it obvious and some of it subtle, but all of it powerful in its potential impact on vulnerable children. At first glance, cartoons and toys like the Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony ‘N Friends, and the Smurfs may seem innocuous enough. And yet the themes that characterize these and hundreds of other cartoons and toys like them are nothing but basic child-level introductions to New Age/occultic symbols and principles."  p.218

​

At the very least, serious-minded Christian parents ought read and devour chapters thirteen through fifteen. Harry Potter, Star Wars, along with many other such things are far more dangerous than you may think them to be.
