Sympathy for Me: A Memoir of the Devil - Paperback

by Rayfield a. Waller (Author)

Evil has a voice, and it wants to talk to you. The so-called prince of fallen angels thinks he's the first celebrity that nobody wants to talk to, so he wants to tell you his own story. He has walked with the Christ and has lived as an angel in human form-as a body walker moving through the world's history in stolen bodies to see what it means to be one of us. He's working on his memoir for you to read and judge.
