Alien Obsession: What Lies Behind Abductions, Sightings, and the Attraction to the Paranormal [Paperback]

Ron Rhodes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1998

Are we alone? The exploding interest in UFOs has caused one UFO investigator to comment that "there's something about human nature that wants to believe in flying saucers and extraterrestrial life."

But what is the message of UFOs? If it is counterfeit, what is its source? An examination of evidence shows that the primary agenda of these "visitors" is to change the way human beings think about God and His Word and replace Christianity with a universal religious system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Offers a different, yet conceivable explanation of alien abd, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Alien Obsession: What Lies Behind Abductions, Sightings, and the Attraction to the Paranormal (Paperback)

Rhodes offers an alternative view of what is behind alien encounters. One that is seldom considered in discussions on the issue, but one that seems plausible given the author's evidence. Not a "whacko" book. Well thought through and objective.

This review is from: Alien Obsession: What Lies Behind Abductions, Sightings, and the Attraction to the Paranormal (Paperback)

Ron Rhodes has researched and written a strong biblical analysis of a phenomenon that is breathtakingly wide in its scope these days and that deserves much more attention by Christians. Highly recommended.
