Sheena and Sergio seem to have everything all figured out. This is quite unusual for a couple only in their late teens, but their strength is tied to their belief in the spirit Pegasus. Things change rather dramatically, though, after their use of amazing abilities brings more people into their group and the stakes are raised. Western Witches & Warlocks: A Journey Into Eternity by Sarah Sheena follows these teens as they are confronted with good and evil – the lure of potential riches promised by spirit world and the truth of eternal life through Jesus, the Lord. What happens when someone stands in the way of Sergio and Sheena’s plans for the future? How can young people come to believe in and accept the power of God over the promises of demons? Sheena, Sergio and their friends face their beliefs amidst conflicting pressures from their families and community, and are confronted with a heavenly battle. Who will win and at what cost?

Western Witches & Warlocks: A Journey Into Eternity by Sarah Sheena is a well-told story that clearly demonstrates the very real struggle of young people weighing their spiritual options and choosing their path. Sarah Sheena’s depth of belief provides tremendous realism to the characters as they are forced into thorough soul searching in order to come to terms with the issues confronting them. Western Witches & Warlocks: A Journey Into Eternity is a great read for youth groups to reaffirm their faith and for anyone with questions about spiritual choices.

Sheena and Sergio had extraordinary abilities that allowed them to communicate with spirits. The two were firm believers in the spirits and all the abilities their belief could give them. Their main spirit of belief, Pegasus, promised them limitless power, wealth and so many other worldly things. However, the two had always kept their extraordinary spiritual skills a secret from anyone because they were afraid of what would happen when people found out. Then, while on a camping trip in the forest with a group of friends, Sheena and Sergio were forced to reveal their powers when one of the friends was badly injured and Sheena had to use her powers to heal him. Eventually the whole group of friends was initiated into the belief in Pegasus and the spirits in general, but one was hesitant. He decided to consult with Jesus on the matter while the others enjoyed their newly discovered beliefs.

Western Witches & Warlocks; A Journey Into Eternity by Sarah Sheena is an inspirational and enlightening story about straying from the right path and the struggle and challenge in trying to help those that have strayed find their way back. The story highlights how easily one can be made to doubt their belief in God. I picked up several inspirational lessons from this story and these are the ones that stood out for me. Promise of worldly things like limitless power and wealth can easily persuade one to forsake God. So there is a need to fight the temptation that comes with these promises. Even when you feel like you have completely lost your way, there is always hope for redemption and it is never too late to get back on the right track and return to the Creator. We should always endeavor to guide those that have lost their way and should never give up on them.

Western Witches & Warlocks: A Journey Into Eternity by Sarah Sheena is an inspirational story about a group of teenagers that are enticed into worshiping Pegasus, the spirit of the winged white horse. The story begins with Sheena and her boyfriend Sergio introducing their friend Lisa to Rebel Hill. Lisa gets to see breathtaking scenery and then small miracles, like her two friends levitating in the air. She falls in love with the spirit that cradles her and answers her prayers, and turns her back on a god that doesn't. After that they form a club devoted to Pegasus and begin praying to him. Everything is going great for the group until one boy attempts to expose Pegasus as a demon, and the tug of war begins.

Sarah Sheena does a magnificent job of describing the characters' encounters with the spirits where the antagonists are the prejudiced, inferior Christians. The main characters in the story are just like most teenagers whose parents are too busy with their own lives to have a clue as to what their kids are up to. Sarah is able to explain how individuals perceive both sides of divinity and adhere to those beliefs, until they can accept a different point of view. A Journey Into Eternity is powerfully written, with an intensity that will strengthen your faith in the Lord of Lords… and the power of prayer.

Western Witches & Warlocks: A Journey Into Eternity by Sarah Sheena tells the story of a young girl, Lisa, who becomes friends with a group of young people involved in the spirit world. They are in communication with Pegasus, a spirit who shows them things that make them marvel. Lisa has always been brought up in a Christian household and what she sees and hears makes her begin to question her faith and all it has meant. As she grows closer to Pegasus, she begins to despise her parents’ faith. Her relationships with family and friends are affected. She tries to undermine Mark’s faith with challenging questions in hopes of bringing him into her new group of friends and faith in Pegasus. She changes dramatically, and begins doing and saying things no one would have ever expected. The spiritual battle around her threatens to destroy her life and the world she has always known.

This is a story that describes the danger and power of meddling in the spirit world, and in places and with things that we don’t understand. Lisa is easily persuaded by the physical things she sees, by the power of Pegasus. Yet, can Pegasus really prove more powerful than the God her family and friends believe in? The story emphasizes how important it is for a Christian to be constantly on their guard against temptation and to remain strong and resilient, and also stresses the importance of support from other Christians.
