5.0 out of 5 stars This phenomena is real!, August 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Enticed by the Light: The Terrifying Story of One Woman's Encounter With the New Age (Paperback)

I would have an extremely hard time believing this story if it were not for a spiritualist whom my aunt visits. This spiritualist also has voices talking to her inside of her head, which I would attribute to insanity or obsession, except that these "voices" are able to discern information about our family that is not otherwise available. They seem to be extremely accurate in identifying the deep dark sins of the family, which to me is evidence of their demonic origin. The spiritualist was also able to describe my aunt's comforter in great detail, and she had never been to the house. So I am very convinced that the spirit channeling described in this book is indeed possible. I am also convinced that Jesus Christ is the only way to be freed from it, but nobody wants to hear that these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting comments, April 28, 2001

I was at Amazon to order a book and decided to see if this book was still listed. Read comments with interest. I can affirm there is no untruth in the book. My younger sister's only purpose in writing was to share and help others avoid the pitfalls she went through. I watched her go through those years, constantly praying for her. This book is the answer to those prayers. Glory be to the Father!!

This review is from: Enticed by the Light: The Terrifying Story of One Woman's Encounter With the New Age (Paperback)

This is a very good book written by Sharon Beekman that trusted the "spirit guides" that promised her fulfillment. By the time she discovered their frightening, true identity, it was too late-they had taken control of her mind...tormenting her, attacking her sanity, pushing her to the brink of suicide. But in her darkest hour, Sharon discovered a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is powerful enough to free her from the evil that threatened to destroy her. This book is a revealing look at New Age practices and the dangers involved. I really enjoyed this book and I could relate to some of the things in it, as I also had tried some of the New Age teachings, with their empty promises. This is a remarkable testimony to the liberating power of Jesus.
