Review Quotes

"...a heavyweight examination of almost everything you've always wanted to conjure, from Cabala to werewolves." -- Christianity Today

"A brilliant, fascinating and factual analysis of the occult and allied subjects." -- David Otis Fuller

"He has attempted to cover the full range of the occult in as objective a fashion as possible, neither falling victim to the naive fascination of the gullible nor repudiating everything as humbug or demonic." -- The Paraclete

"In the proliferation of Christian-oriented books on the occult this is by far the most comprehensive, up-to-date treatment I have run across."-- H. Robert Cowles in The Alliance Witness

"The value of this study is...that it provides a strong historical introduction to the kinds of occult appeals from the past, and then considers a number of areas where there has been a recent upsurge of interest. The discussion is sane, well-documented, with clear conclusions as the where the Christian should recognize conflicts with the teachings of his faith." -- The Church Herald

"Worth reading. It will provide answers to many of your questions, especially relating to the more unusual occult phenomena." -- James Bjornstad in Moody Monthly
