The Kingdom of the Occult
By Walter Martin, Jill Martin Rische, and Kurt Van Gorden
The Kingdom of the
Occult, by Walter Martin, Jill Martin Rische, and Kurt Van Gorden, is an excellent read. An exhaustive, one-stop resource, the book includes gripping case studies, extensive resources for further study, and a Scriptural response section that arms the reader with biblical truths to refute false teaching and theology.
Included in the book are chapters on Kabbalah, Wicca, Witchcraft, Eastern mysticism and New Age, demon possession and exorcism, evangelism, goddess worship, along with many others. I found the chapters,"Christian Counseling and the Occult" and "Evangelism: Reaching the Hearts of People, of particular interest." Both offered practical information and advice I could put to immediate use in my church and the marketplace.
Despite the seriousness of the topic, the tone is light and filled with hope, making it not only an educational read but an enjoyable one as well. Written in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand style, the authors are masters at taking complex information and breaking it down into easy-to-digest pieces.
The Kingdom of the Occult is an exceptional piece of work, one that is appropriate for pastors, students, youth workers, people serving
in their local congregations, scholars, theologians, and seminary students.
It is definitely a five-star read, one that I highly recommend.
