Steve Wohlberg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2007

According to a recent Time survey, over 70 million Americans believe in communication with the dead. This statistic is reflected in the popularity of supernaturally-themed programs such as Medium, Ghost Whisperer, and Crossing Over with John Edward. It s clear that many people, believers and non-believers alike, don t understand what the Bible teaches about communication with the dead. Demons in Disguise biblically proves not only the impossibility of communicating with the dead, but that The demonic are masters at impersonating dead loved ones. Author Steve Wohlberg gives a fascinating and detailed look into the lives of several psychic experts exposing their spirit guides for what they truly are: Demons in Disguise.

This review is from: Demons in Disguise: The Dangers of Talking to the Dead (Paperback)

I was nearly able to finish this entire book in one sitting. The material is certainly engrossing, although not entirely consisting of Wohlberg's own writing. There are several parts that are just extended reprints of stories and material from famous psychics and mediums, not to mention sections of the Holy Bible, but those are nonetheless just as interesting, (if not moreso) than S.W.'s writing. Although I did not ultimately find his especially detailed arguments compelling in the slightest, I did find his warnings to be unnerving and distressing.

I purchased this book as someone interested in reading about the history and practice of spirit communication, and am happy to have this book as it does represent one perspective on it. However, I have some other analysis/opinions on the book that I would like to share with other potential buyers.

S.W. will build up to a very creepy point of high tension, that would give any reader the unholy willies and then throw in "I don't tell you this to scare you." He does this repeatedly, and what it really says to me is "Yes, he is." I believe the author does use fear- as a tactic- in order to shepherd those who would dabble in mediumship or spirit communication away from such an act. Why? Because he sincerely believes it is wrong, and a sin against God. Okay. But he starts to go a little far when he begins to insinuate that mediums should be stoned to death, as is suggested in the Bible. P. 94: "It is not my job to judge motives or decide destinies. I'm not qualified to issue such verdicts." He states. But he DOES suggest the all-powerful creator of the universe thinks so... "Don't blame me. I didn't write Deuteronomy." mmm...hmmm....

I was particularly unconvinced by his argument about Saul confering with a medium to call up the spirit of Samuel, claiming it wasn't samuel, it was a demon. Very weak argument, there. In any case, despite some of his textual citations and interpretations, I did find this book interesting and certainly food for thought.

Riveting, socking, and sobering are the words I use to describe the content of Demons in Disguise. This is a must read for anyone who ventures on the "playground" of seeking communication with the dead. You better be ready to face the distressing reality that there are supernatural forces whose goal is deception and captivity. "Ye know not what you play with". A must read.

This review is from: Demons in Disguise: The Dangers of Talking to the Dead (Paperback)

I hadn't really thought about what this author regards as a "ghostly trend" that has been going on. But when I started reading the book I realized there is a lot of attention on the supernatural in the movies, television and books.

This book will reveal what dangers can be behind people's search of the supernatural. There are references to "unclean spirits" (Mark 6:7), "rulers of the darkness of this age" ((Eph. 6:12) and more.
