3 CRUCIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT SPIRITUAL WARFARE by Clinton Arnold
What is Spiritual Warfare? Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Are we called to engage territorial spirits? These provocative questions stand at the heart of evangelical discussions of the supernatural, and they represent the subject of Clinton Arnold's 3 Crucial Questions about Spiritual Warfare.
Arnold brings his exegetical skill and extensive knowledge of early Christianity to bear on the contemporary understanding of the spirit realm. "Spiritual warfare is an integral part of the entire Christian experience," the author explains.
"To think that a Christian could avoid spiritual warfare is like imagining that a gardener could avoid dealing with weeds. Our goal should be rather to gain an accurate and sober-minded understanding of spiritual warfare, not a view tainted by frightening superstitions and odd practices."
POWERS OF DARKNESS: PRINCIPALITIES & POWERS IN PAUL'S LETTERS by Clinton Arnold
Looking for a Biblical theology on demons, principalities and powers, and our battle with them? Clinton Arnold wrote Powers of Darkness as the first step toward a complete biblical theology on Spiritual Warfare.
Arnold sees the danger in the growing influence of the occult and the New Age movement and seeks to help Christians understand the very real problem of Satan and his minions. He focuses on the letters of Paul to see how Paul views the powers and principalities and how we should respond to them.
Though some authors have interpreted principalities and powers as impersonal social, economic and political structures, Arnold argues that the biblical view of principalities and powers is that of organized, powerful and personal beings actively fighting against God and Christianity. As strong as these beings are, Arnold reminds us that Christ has already dealt them a grievous setback in the cross and will totally defeat them when he returns.
Once we have acknowledged the reality of our battle against the principalities and powers, the next question becomes "What can we do?". Arnold offers practical answers to that question, answers that will both inspire and challenge the church to again take up arms in this cosmic struggle against Satan.
OCCULT ABC by Kurt Koch
Theologian Kurt Koch spent much of his life researching the occult and ministering to those affected by it. In Occult ABC he combines those years of work into an informative guide to the practices and ideas that form the foundation of the occult. If you learn its language, its alphabet, you can better combat it. That is the spirit that Occult ABC is written in.
Though some may not agree that all of the practices mentioned in here are occult (charismatic occurences and Pentecostalism come to mind), most will agree that Koch has provided useful information on what is going on in the occult.
Each topic includes a brief introductory description, as well as examples from Koch's life and research. Alphabetically arranged, with extensive footnotes, this is a valuable resource for those who have dealt with, are dealing with, or will deal with the occult.
FANTASY AND YOUR FAMILY: EXPLORING THE LORD OF THE RINGS, HARRY POTTER AND MODERN MAGICK, by Richard Abanes
This book engages popular culture in the hugely successful stories of Harry Potter, Star Wars, and The Lord of the Rings, Richard Abanes guides the reader through these contemporary fantasy stories, illuminating them with light from the Christian faith journey. The book opens doors to faith-sharing, particularly with young people, while also taking on the issues within the stories that have led some Christians to reject them.
Should Christians be reading fantasy literature? Is there really a difference between the magic and wizards in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series? What about book burning, or banning books? Isn't it better that children read Harry Potter instead of watching television? If you are not satisfied with quick easy answers to these questions, this book will help.
Richard Abanes is a cult/occult expert. He is also a huge fan of fantasy and science fiction literature. The Harry Potter series gave him a unique chance to combine his two passions, and this book is a fascinating look at both the fantasy genre and the two series which best exemplify it.
It is also an exposition of the themes, characters and spirituality in The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Abanes casts an educated eye on the genre of fantasy, looking at both its positive and negative aspects. He even uses child development information to examine how fantasy affects children at various stages of development. He offers parents the information necessary to make wise decisions about what their children are reading.
Abanes never says that Christians should not read Harry Potter. He does point out, however, that some of the fears that have been expressed about the occultic references in Harry Potter are valid, as some children have developed a deeper interest in the occult because of Harry Potter.
He has documentation that shows a significant minority of children are more interested in the occult since reading Harry Potter. The most dangerous aspect, in Abanes' mind, is the fact that Rowling and her supporters blithely brush off reports about increased interest in the occult.
One of the most fascinating aspects of this book is the in-depth comparison of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Abanes focuses on several moral/religious issues, arguing that the magic in Tolkien is vastly different from the magick (the traditional occultic spelling for the term used when discussing witchcraft, divination, etc.) in Harry Potter.
Abanes also answers several important questions about fantasy, in general, and Harry Potter, specifically, that people have been asking. Finally, Abanes explains why the occult needs to be viewed as dangerous for children.
This books is very aptly named. It is designed to give parents vital information about fantasy and its related titles, so they can make informed decisions about what their children are reading. Abanes offers us the information we need, and allows us to make our decisions based on the facts.
In the end, he urges parents to act as true guardians of their children, protecting them from those things which seek to harm them.
WHEN THE ENEMY STRIKES: THE KEYS TO WINNING YOUR SPIRITUAL BATTLES by Charles F Stanley
In the Screwtape Letters C.S. Lewis pointed out the perils of either obsessing about spiritual warfare or ignoring it altogether. From all appearances, our generation tends towards the latter error. Thus, When the Enemy Strikes we do not know how to stand firm and overcome the onslaught of the evil one. Fortunately, in this battlemanual Dr. Stanley teaches us how to identify the enemy's activity, stand our ground in battle and cry out for God's power and protection.
JESUS: THE MAN AND HIS WORK by Wallace D Wattles
"Jesus said of himself, 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.' Well, he has not drawn all men, not even a majority of men, and I am inclined to think that he has never been lifted up. An unreal, imaginary character is being lifted up instead, and men are not being drawn by it."
On November 11, 1905, Wallace D. Wattles, who went on to write some of the most powerful, life changing books ever written, including his classic masterpiece, "The Science of Getting Rich", addressed an audience gathered at the Auditorium in Cincinnati, Ohio to hear him lecture.
In that short, but very powerful lecture, Wallace D. Wattles shattered orthodox misconceptions, misunderstandings and outright misrepresentations of the character and teachings of Jesus and shared his vision of the real Christ and His true call.
The lecture made such a favorable impression on certain listeners that they wanted to have it printed if Wallace D. Wattles provided the manuscript.
That he did and the manuscript was privately printed.
Like many privately printed publications of this type, it had a very limited distribution and like many of them from its day, its few copies quickly disappeared over time never to be seen again...UNTIL NOW!
*** The new publication of JESUS: THE MAN AND HIS WORK has been called a "Spiritual timebomb!" ***

The Shack
The Shack
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!
Customer Review: The Shack is an amazing book!
I've never read a book quite like this one. I felt like throwing it a few times because it was so different & not what I expected. but after reading the whole book, I found it to be an amazing resource for forgiveness. GREAT BOOK!
Customer Review: The Shack
This book takes you out of your box and comfort zone and breaks religous mind sets. Absolutely amazing and wonderful book!!!!
Nine Inch Nails - Closure
Nine Inch Nails - Closure
Customer Review: Pretty awesome in general.
Before I begin, let me just say that finding this VHS set was borderline impossible. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present from someone who was selling it off amazon for, I think, $36 (not the site but someone who was selling it on the site. Even amazon doesn't carry this!). And their money didn't go to waste. I've been wanting this set for a while so the though that I was getting it in the first place thrilled me.
Closure video 1 is a collection of all of their videos up to the point this was released, including some bonus live material that was Eraser, another version of Wish, and Hurt without David Bowie. The way the whole thing is put together is pretty cool. The best part is that none of the videos are censored, either. The second VHS is a short documentary of NIN's '94-'98 Self-Destruct tour. The concert footage is Pinion, Terrible Lie, Piggy, Down In It, March of the Pigs, The Only Time, Wish, Hurt, and Something I Can Never Have. In between each song there is backstage footage and some short clips of them playing at Woodstock '95 and other venues. A lot of it is pretty funny, especially the part where Trent, Robin, Charlie, Jerome, Danny, and some of their crew and friends are seeing who can knock a cord phone (not sure if that's what it is but I don't know what else it could be) off a cord it's hanging by (Trent wins). Like And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the footage is taken from various concerts (especially on this one, since it's all taken from '94 to '98). The concert is great, as Trent shows off how maniacal of a showman he was back in his youthful days: trashing instruments, throwing his bandmates everywhere and sending them to the ER, etc. The songs are also played perfectly, with virtually no errors.
Now, in all fairness, it definitely has its share of flaws. The footage is grainy, sometime REALLY grainy, especially on Piggy, Hurt (with David Bowie), and on interview with Trent talking about his Woodstock performance. The rest is better, but not by a whole lot. Also, on And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the quick outfit changes are obvious, as they are on this one, but unlike the aforementioned DVDs, on Closure, sometimes the transition between scenes gets kind of awkward. For example, on Down In It, when the scene changes from Trent to Danny singing "Rain rain go away, come again some other day," it cuts into "Come again some other day" with a noticeable switch in the notes everyone is playing. This seems like a very foolish mistake if you ask me. Lastly, I wish there could have been more than 8 live songs (11 if you include Eraser, Wish and Hurt on the second video, even though the last 2 are already included on the concert part). I mean, there just could have been so much more....
Nonetheless, Closure is an great video set, and no NIN collection is complete without it. It falls just a little short of perfectly documenting the Self Destruct Tour, which is why I had to dock off 1 star, but that's still only a minor flaw. And as for the DVD version of Closure that Trent made of this. Don't bother waiting around for it. There are too many legal problems with his former manager (who, if you ask me, is just pissed that Trent beat him in court after he selfishly kept millions of dollars that rightfully belonged to Trent), so it won't happen. However, you can find most of the bonus material that was on the aforementioned unreleased DVD on Youtube, including the infamous Broken movie (a disgusting masterpiece, by the way).
So, yeah, just buy this and don't wait a second more for its release on DVD, which will never happen.
Customer Review: A must for Nine Inch Nails fans
Though, I wish Trent would reissue this piece on DVD and there are rumors he might, this is a great look at Nine Inch Nails' early years. One of the videos shows us the Self Destruct tour, which as seen on the video was a thriving, aggressive show with all the youth and vigor it could handle. This video was put out after The Downward Spiral so the concert includes every album or single up to that point. The other video contains every music video produced by the band up to that point. The videos include Head Like a Hole, Down In It (subject of a FBI investigation for one of the scenes in the video), Sin, Pinion, Wish, Help Me I'm in Hell, Happiness in Slavery (not for the faint of heart), Gave Up, March of the Pigs (Live), Closer, and Hurt (Live). Every video is the unedited version so the full effect of every video is seen. This collection does NOT include the imfamous Broken movie. It includes songs from the album, but NOT the actual movie that accompanied it. The videos for the songs from the album are separate pieces to the Broken movie.
