If you or someone you know has ever said, "It's just a song," or "I listen to most music for the beat, not the lyrics," then the quotes from world-renowned music artist will reveal that there is a dark, driving force behind many of today's popular songs. In his book The Spirit Behind the Music, Michael Richmond II, reveals God's original purpose for music as a form of worship to Him and a source of healing and hope. He also explains how Satan, the god of this world, perverts music and uses it instead as a form of idol worship to him: inviting evil forces into the lives of those who accept it, encouraging people to adopt negative attitudes and behavior, and eventually leading them to destruction. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, youth, pastors, aspiring artist, and anyone seeking truth about the dark side of the music industry.
