Customer Reviews

Scary.

I'm not going to lie, I was recommended this book by someone who convinced me I should start a relationship with God. I was open to it, I read this as her overwhelmingly positive recommendation. I don't know how to tell her, but I have changed my mind. Only a few pages in and I faced straight up racism. The way the author describes a foreign woman made my skin crawl. As a white woman, the use of words like "the western man" to prescribe purity, honesty and correctness to a group in question is so horribly indicative of racism it made me sick. The disregard of mental illness also made me feel uncomfortable. The notion that "curses" and the like could cause cancer, and not actual health related issues. The way the author writes about women and men, the way she articulates herself, and her writing in general is both lack-luster and disturbing in one go. I was uncomfortable from start to finish and I am not sure how this was supposed to encourage me. She sounds horrible. Everything else was fine but the underlying themes, disregard of God's science in the real world, the science of HIS creations, the blatant xenophobic rhetoric, and so much more. I really hope this book is not available to children. I donated it, but was tempted to use it as kindle, to purify myself of the demons this lady was psychotically scribbling about lol

Indispensible guide to deliverance

This book holds amazing keys to help understand how the enemy uses thoughts to oppress people, and the way to recognise these and move forward. It should be recommended reading for all Christians! The information comes from vast personal experience, and there are a number of success stories at the end of the book.

Enlightened

I truly enjoyed reading this book.It pointed out spiritual pitfalls that A spiritually naive person may get into without knowing where to go for help. The story came from the author's personal life experiences.Excellent.
