DO NOT PASS THIS BOOK BY! Of course there will be negative reviews of this book....Satan wants to keep as many people as possible away from exposing his deceptions. This review is not one of those negative reviews...in fact, I can honestly say that this book changed my life. It changed the way I pray. It changed the way I live. OF COURSE Satan wants us to believe that this book is rubbish...but don't buy in to that. I am a deeply devoted Christian who has struggled fiercely in the past with eating disorders, drug addiction and alcoholism. This book teaches how to "plug in" to the POWER SOURCE (which is Jesus Christ) who lives within all born-again Christians. It exposes the lies and deceptions of Satan. This is not a book of "spells". This is practical useful information for living the life that God intended for His children to live. Satan knows that he has lost the battle for the Christian's soul in eternity, but I am CONVINCED that he and his army of demons will do everything possible to rob us believers of our joy and peace in THIS life. Take it from someone who's "been there, done that"...this book is AWESOME. PRAY as you read this book and read your Bible as well. NOTHING can replace the Word of God. God's word must always be the Christians first priority. This book is a great addition to any Christian library, especially those Christians who are struggling in their walk. PRAISE GOD FOR THE VICTORY WE HAVE IN JESUS!!!!! By the way, in response to an earlier post, Neil Anderson does NOT suggest that a CHRISTIAN can be demon possessed, but rather that a CHRISTIAN can come under serious spiritual attack and can be hindered in their Christian walk by a demonic stronghold. There is a big difference there, and what he proposes IS biblically grounded. Just read it if you are unhappy! I will give this book 10 stars if I could.Based on the holy bible have change and better myself because of it.Uncover the lies, and the confusion of the new age movement and give a better understanding of all the why's, and the necessary weapons to fight unhappiness and hopelessness in anyone's life. Restores love and hope.A must for anyone.(you'll like it so much you may read it more than a few times). swp Claim Your Inheritance In THE BONDAGE BREAKER Neil Anderson writes about the challenges Christians face when they feel bound by negative emotions such as fear and anger or they cannot seem to break free from the grip of bad habits. The author explains that Christians have the power to gain freedom from these problems through their inheritance in Christ. It is up to them to exercise their authority and resist the devil. They are on the winning side in the war against Satan. Satan will try to get them to believe his lies and his biggest lie is that Christians are capable of being the God of their own lives. Satan will try to confuse them but in the end he can do nothing about their position in Christ. Neil Anderson is a good writer and his book is filled with anecdotes which illustrate his ideas. The text ends with detailed instructions on how to break free from bondage and also how to help others to do the same thing. The Jury Is Still Out Since I must finish reading the book before I feel qualified to judge. But I must tell ask those alleged "Christians" (just as Jesus asked) to "judge not, lest ye be judged." It IS possible to be Wiccan and to LOVE Jesus and possibly be a "better" Christian than some who write such hatefilled, judgemental words. Beware the plank in your own eyes, before you go trying to remove your neighbor's splinters (to paraphase the Master). Think. LOVE. Peace. Shalom... It changed my theological view of demons This book was my introduction to spiritual warfare. I can still remember by Bible College professor walking the tightrope unwilling to concede that demonic spirits are active today. If I remember right, he postulated three theories of demonic activity: The accommodation theory- that Jesus knew that demonic activity did not exist, but that he accommodated himself to the world view of his day. According to this view, people who were supposedly demon possessed were actually mentally ill. The second theory was that demons are real, but that they were only active in Jesus day; thus present day demonic activity is very rare and is confined to pagan cultures. The third theory was that demon activity is a present day phenomenon we have to deal with. As highly impressionable underclassmen, we were left to our own devices to figure which choice was the right one. Anderson rightly points out that the church had pretty much bought into the scientific/psychological model of deviant behavior- that we do not believe that the spiritual world does impinges on the natural world. As a result many evangelical Christians have either excluded the supernatural from their worldview or have consigned it to the transcendental tier where little effect on day to day living. When I first read Bondage Breakers, I came the realization that although I could teach about demon possession, I really did not believe that demons were active in our present day world. Although Andersons views have become more mainstream in the evangelical church, there are still those who see him as rather radical; while some charismatic side may see him as too tame. I see Bondage Breakers as an excellent introduction to spiritual warfare and a book every pastor ought to read. See also:
