Neil Anderson's "matter of fact" approach is wonderful. I'm so impressed that the focus is on the use of TRUTH rather than POWER to fight the enemy. It is the truth that sets us free, and Anderson does a fantastic job of making sure biblical truth is emphasized rather than experiencial gimmicks.

The spiritual battle we face is a battle for our mind. Bondage Breaker exposes Satan's tactics of using temptation, accusation and deception by equipping us with the truth that identifies those tactics-- rendering them ineffective.

It is most important that Christians understand their identity in Christ; and the power, authority and freedom we have in knowing God's truth. "The Bondage Breaker" exposes subtle lies, and helps clarify what our focus should be.

This book is especially good for those who are struggling with negative or sinful thoughts; addictive behavior; issues of guilt or unforgivness and intense spiritual attacks.

Every Christian should get "The Bondage Breaker"!

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.

I read this book in 1997 and it changed my life. Obviously, the guy who gave this book a bad review has never experienced spiritual warfare and doesn't understand the doctrines of Christian Science and other cults or for that matter, the doctrines of Christianity. If he did have these understandings or experiences he would have found the book useful.

Bondage Breaker is powerful, biblical and a must for anyone who wants to understand and take control of the spiritual realm around them in a responsible and biblical manner.

i HAVE READ ALMOST ALL ANDERSONS BOOKS, THE FIRST BEFORE THIS IS VICTORY OVER THE DARKNESS. THAT BOOK CHANGED MY THINKING ON EVERYTHING FROM MY SELF WORTH, WHO i AM IN CHRIST, HOW VALUABLE I AM IN CHRIST, TO WHY I AM AFRAID TO BE BOLD FOR GOD. THIS BOOK THE BONDAGE BREAKER GETS DOWN TO THE REASONS HOLDING YOU BACK, THE LIES YOU HAVE ACCEPTED ABOUT YOURSELF, CLARIFIES HOW STRONG YOU REALLY ARE IN CHRIST AND GETS YOU GOING ONTO LIVING A FRUIT FILLED LIFE IN CHRIST. IT GETS "THE MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK, FOREVER" A MUST READ FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN.

A friend gave this book to me when I was running out of hope. I had been suffering from depression for two long years and had only begun to recognize it as depression. It was hard to accept that I, of all people, could be depressed. Counseling was not helping. Medication was an undesirable last resort, and I did not know how to help myself. This book helped me. It is a book about the battle for our minds. It is a book about truth versus lies, conviction versus accusation. There IS hope! If you want to know freedom (from depression, from hopelessness, from whatever clouds your mind and robs you of life); if you want to be free to truly live again, give this book a chance.

Anderson's book is an excellent tool to help the reader overcome debilitating bondage and to live free in Christ.

Among the points Anderson covers include:

1. Misconceptions about demonic activity.
2. While Jesus delivered us from evil at the cross, we have the responsibility to resist the devil through Christ.
3. The mind is the center of spiritual bondage.
4. The devil has no authority over you.
5. How we deceive ourselves.
6. How to deal with deception and to be discerning.

7. Putting on the full armor of God.
8. Steps to freedom in Christ.

Read and be encouraged not to be a victim to spiritual bondage!

I have read and reread this book. I was saved 9 1/2 years ago and was practically infested with demonic activity. God was very gracious to bring me into his fold. However, I was still in severe bondage to several things and I couldn't figure out why. I was given advice like read the bible more, pray more, get saved (I was already saved even if I had sin that I hated in my life), or my favorite... stop doing it, never helped. I wanted to stop sinning but I was unable to. (There was a truth that God wanted me to learn. The truth will always set you free.) I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get free. About that time, I began to learn about demonic influences. This book helped a great deal. Since that time, (1997) I have had much more victory in my life.

I don't understand why the two bad reviewers say this book is full of fear! I found it quite the contrary. For the first time it gave me hope!!! There was no condemnation this book as you might expect to find in some fundamentalist circles. Rather, Brother Neil speaks of freedom for the captives. He preached love and acceptance of the person. He beileves in providing a healthy environment where we can deal with our sin and not have to hide it out of fear of rejection. Deliverance is meant for God's children. It is the children's bread.

If you are in any kind of bondage, (i.e. habitual sin, depression, or repeated failures you don't understand) then give this book a read. You might find the grace you have been searching for since God called you unto himself.

Anderson's book is incredibly liberating. The truths revealed in the pages are so obvious once your focus is pointed toward them. God is the healer; He is the Bondage Breaker. This book won't change your life... uncovering the truths of who you are in Christ Jesus will. There are only a few suggestions I could make to a reader to inable them to get the most out of this book: 1) read it thouroghly- over and over again, 2) DO THE STUDY GUIDES located in the back of the book with the reading, 3) keep a Bible by you as you read, 4) pray as you read, 5) prepare for Christ to shape you life.

I've read this book cover to cover twice, repeatedly... thinking that... yeah really, reading this book is going to change my life?... This is nonesense.
No nonsense. It's been over four years since the last time I read the book. The messages in this book broke my bondage to Satan and delivered me from my sins. It changed my life forever; and I am forever grateful to the author, and The divine author.

Do not be fooled by others who are blinded and in the clutches of Satan himself. Read this book and deliver yourself from our worlds greatesty enemy.

God Bless,

_The Bondage Breaker_ is a real education in the spiritual realm. Anderson cuts to the very root of many of the problems we see around us. The demonic realm is exposed for what it is. Too often, we couch deep spiritual problems in psychological terminology. Anderson cuts through the psycho-babble and strikes at the roots.

John 10:10 tells us that the thief comes to kill, to steal and destroy. Anderson shows us how to see his nefarious plan for what it is, and to deal with it by the power of Jesus Christ.

I enjoyed very much the love and tenderness for people with which Anderson speaks. It undergirds the entire book. Love is a powerful weapon that we weild against the forces of darkness. Serving God's people seems to be Anderson's motivating force.
At the same time, his no-holds barred, take no prisoners approach to the darkness and bondage leave no room for doubt.

This book is powerful. Every pastor should know these principles.
