LITTLE ELM, Texas, July 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Arnold English's new book, John 1:12 (now available through AuthorHouse), opens with a 27-year-old man in the middle of a trying spiritual time. Demons visit him in the night and attempt to take his life. When a caring co-worker becomes involved, he begins to realize the power of God and the spiritual work he is meant to do.
Based on the true story of the author, John 1:12 retraces several months of bizarre, supernatural events that occurred in 1990. Wayne, who works as a defense contractor, is plagued by strange visions and creatures who visit him while he is asleep. Only declaring the name of God openly forces the beasts to retreat. Co-workers notice that Wayne is losing weight and is acting strangely. When he is introduced to a colleague, Anne, she becomes his sounding board. He shares his visions with her, and she helps him understand that the dreams are signs from God.
Wayne, a man who had been angry at God for many years, experiences a transformation after attending a revival. The evangelist pinpoints his troubles and tells Wayne that he is a blessed servant of Jesus. His spiritual transformation continues as he further deciphers the weird experiences with spirits.
John 1:12 is a riveting story about the battle of good and evil. It is a novel based on true events, which makes the encounters with demons and the messages from God even more jaw-dropping. English urges people to reconsider their opinions of supernatural events and follow God.
"The book empowers you to question the possibilities of supernatural cases," he writes, "the realization of demonic oppression in this world and the horror involved in making the wrong choice."
In 1990, English was working as a freelance writer. The spiritual occurrences led him to record every detail. He worked in the defense industry prior to 1990 and later became a prayer minister.
