Excellent

Should be read by all. Derek Prince is an excellent teacher. He also has tremendous U-Tube teachings on this subject as well as others. YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING!

Do you believe...?

If you believe curses are a relic from the superstitious Middle Ages think again! Focusing on the individual level Prince uses the divine curses outlined in Deut. 28 (cf. Lev. 26) as a guide to prove that curses exist today, even in our modern, secular world. Yet, these same curses were pronounced on a national level too, and are fast becoming all-too-obvious in Anglo-American countries after these same countries were once richly blessed for their Biblical fidelity. With environmental pollution, insufficient food, disease epidemics, infertility, unnatural weather, foreign incursion, military defeats, accidents, family breakdown, and economic instability all leading ultimately to national captivity no one can deny God's hand in the world today! With Prince's easy-to-understand style he also outlines the cause and cure in seven simple steps. And if you still dismiss the law of blessing and curse don't take my word for it. Read the book yourself. Better yet read the Bible for yourself and note the many examples highlighting the living power of God's law both in the past, present and future and its need to be kept today both personally and nationally (Deut. 30:19; Gen. 3:14-19; 12:2-3; Lev. 26; Num. 22:6; Dt. 11; 28; 2 Sam. 12:10; Gal. 3:13; 1 Pet. 2:24, etc.)! A most enlightening study indeed!

Uncovering Hidden Obsticles

If you or your family have ever been involved in idolatry or witchcraft this book is a must. You can see the forces of darkness totally destroyed in your life if you are willing to do what it takes. "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet."- Romans 16:20

"Worth the read!"

As a traditional, evangelical Baptist pastor I was not sure about reading this book. It was recommended by a friend, however, whose judgement I trusted. I couldn't put it down. It is a wealth of Biblical wisdom and common sense. I find myself going back to it time and again, and each time I rediscover wisdom and comfort in his suggested prayers, and his analysis of scriptures which I had read often, but not understood. This book will bring you (and I use this word cautiously) 'healing,' from much that is in your past.

be set free from the power of a curse

I was first turned on to this book by a pastor friend who ministers in deliverance. Right from the outset, when we first met, he got the impression that I was suffering from some kind of curse, without even having spoken to me at any length. I was ministering in worship and praise at the time (which I still do) and I didn't pay too much attention to what he said until I read through this book. I had felt for the longest time though (for the last 15 years or so), on numerous occasions that my family and I had experienced a great deal more of "unlucky" calamity, sickness, and financial failure than most of the people around us. The book lists, among other things, numerous objects that can be doorways for the occult or idolatry to enter into our lives. Boy was I surprised when the pastor showed me that the papyrus I used for educational purposes had the image of a musician (symbolically me) making an offering on an altar to the highest god of Egypt! From then on, my wife and I went through the house and we were amazed at the number of objects that we found. We decided to burn them in the back yard.The book speaks in depth on self-imposed curses that we bring upon ourselves through our speech, and also covers family, or hereditary curses that were handed down to us through our ancestors. If you don't believe in hereditary curses you might want to ask yourself why the doctor's office always has you fill out a form telling them what diseases your parents and grandparents had.The question of course is, if Christ redeemed me from "the curse of the law" why would I still need to break any curses in my life? Good question. Another question to ask yourself could be, if God forgave my sins, why am I still in jail, or why am I still suffering the consequences of my sin, or even my father's sin? I will leave you to read the book to get the author's point of view on this.This is a highly practical as well as informative book. It has definitely left an impression upon my thinking. For those of you who have even the slightest doubt that you may be suffering from a curse, please read this book, and learn how you can be set free from its power.

The truth shall set you free

This book is awesome. A MUST have for bible believing christians. It is very similar to Rebecca Brown MD's 'Unbroken Curses' except that it goes into much more depth. Derek Prince clearly explains the causes of curses and how to be released from them. He explains them plainly both from a biblical point of view and thirty plus years of experience . Again, an awesome and revealing book on a subject which most churches today do not want to talk about or ignore. I also recommend Prince's other book 'They Shall Expel Demons' .
