Legion

Marine Sgt. Mike Shaffer stood alone on the battlefield, looking up at the beast from hell. He would need every bit of wisdom and courage he possessed to withstand this satanic challenge to his faith. Yet instead of cowering in fear, Mike stood his ground with a conviction that exemplified his Christian character. The source of his confidence was the one who stood behind him-the Advocate. It was his job to defend Mike against Legion's condemning accusations.

Legion could have used any appearance he wanted to deceive Mike: the snake that seduced Eve, one of the superhuman demoniacs of biblical times, or the angel of light that tempted Christ. God had granted Satan one chance to break Mike's spirit, and it had to be done on the eve of a battle long since lost to history. So the old shape-shifter chose his most intimidating form: tall, dark, and masculine. His naked and genderless body spoke of power beyond human understanding.

With eyes of steel, the Advocate stared at Satan's most feared henchman, his jaw fixed, ready to litigate Mike's case before God. However, his Defender knew that any physical interference in this inquisition was limited to protecting Mike's body. The Paraclete had sealed Mike's soul for the resurrection, so this testing was to question Mike's spiritual integrity: was he worthy of God's grace and his kingdom? Although Mike would be given a place of honor in the throne room of heaven for his victory over Satan's dark force of doom, this story doesn't end there.
