5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Full Of Hard-Hitting Truth, June 24, 2002

This review is from: Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church (Paperback)

This book is for all Christians out there who know what the word "Christian" means. It means "follower of Christ" (or close to that). It does not mean "good person" or "person who reads the Bible" or "person who goes to church". Unless you believe that Christ died to pay for your sins YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN!!! This is a fact that many people out there just do not get. This is Dave Hunt's major premise and he is rock solid in this. Sure there are Catholics & Orthodox believers who are good people, but they are not Christians and thus they are leading people away from the true faith. Catholicism is chuck full of idolatry (the worship of the Virgin Mary) and mysticism - the fact that they believe that priests can forgive sins is a perfect example of why Catholics are not Christians. If you feel that people should go to heaven simply because "they are good people" or because "they went to church", then this is not the book for you and you will probably be angered by Dave Hunt's closed mind and mean spirit. But if you are a true believer, know that Christ died for your sins, and you want to keep yourself aware of the snares of the devil, then this is a "must read"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep writing Dave!!!, October 29, 2001

This review is from: Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church (Paperback)

I have been reading Dave Hunt's books since my college days back in the late 1980s. The Occult Invasion is a book that every Christian should read. I realize that Dave Hunt is controversial in some circles and some people feel that he is too "judgmental". However, sometimes we have to judge between what is true or false, and between right and wrong. The things that Mr. Hunt points out need to be examined. The truth is the truth but unfortunately a lot of people don't want to be bothered with the truth. Dave, I don't have a clue if you ever read these reviews but if you do, I just want to encourage you to keep going. God Bless ...

4.0 out of 5 stars In-depth study of the Occult. Required reading., December 2, 2002

This review is from: Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church (Paperback)

This is one of the most in-depth studies on the Occult that I have come across to date.

Dave Hunt investigates a whole plethora of subjects which are Occult-based or Occult-related.

These stem from spirit communication & possession, Eastern Mysticism, the New Age movements, Holistic Medicine, Drugs, Evolution, Psychology, aspects of the Catholic Church, UFO's, Angels, Ghosts, Near Death Experiences and Spiritual Warfare, to mention just a few.

Some 600 pages or more in length, this is quite a commendable and very thorough work.

Why have I not given it a five-star rating ? For one reason & one reason only. That being I find Dave Hunt's criticism and condemnation of many modern day evangelists, (who he names personally), to be somewhat disturbing.

Although I can see where the author is `coming from', I would far rather such comments to have been directed towards the reader being advised to interpret the works of these evangelists in the light of God's Word, rather than personally condemning them outright. I feel uneasy about such personal criticism.

Having said that, this book does an excellent job in describing the blatant and overt Occult practices at work today and how the deadly, deceptive tentacles of the Occult have invaded even many aspects of the Church. The book also studies how the coming one-world religion will form the basis of the Antichrist's regime/world-empire.

This is recommended reading on the Occult.
