Without sensationalism, Edmond C. Gruss demonstrates - through one startling case after another- that these dangers are all too real. He traces the occult ancestry of the Ouija board and explores possible sources of messages, as well as Ouija's role in THE EXORCIST and themodern channeling movement. Gruss comvines compelling documentation witha solid biblical response and offers practical steps for those struggling with the occult.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Well...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ouija Board: A Doorway to the Occult (Paperback)
This author seems to rely on secondhand accounts and the book seems more of an attack against non-Christians than anything else. Yes, this book is definitely written from a Christian viewpoint, and as such is a bit biased. It never even mentions the possibility that such activities may be beneficial, or that practitioners of such things as Wicca are genuinely happy. I personally know no one who has been possessed or driven to suicide because of the board. Read such books at your own discretion, but please keep an open mind; this is not the only view, or the only way.

This review is from: The Ouija Board: A Doorway to the Occult (Paperback)
I read the other reviews as well as the book. The book is well reasearched and uses stellar religious/theology scholars as well as academics in the field of parapsychology ans others. This is known as secondary research. Primary sources are possible but hard to come by, that is one would observe and report. There are many ethical issues in this. Secondary source research is perfectly acceptable in academia. Personally I would be unwilling to be present at let alone participate in a ouija board seance/reading. I would be one who did secondary research on this topic as well. The book is well written; well researched, and circumspect. It posits it is best not to open a door when you dont know what is on the other side. It gives some historical background; incorporates some theology; and discusess specific cases.

This review is from: The Ouija Board: A Doorway to the Occult (Paperback)
This book is a must read for anyone interested in buying or using a Ouija board. It tells of the dangers of using it and what is really behind it. I threw mine away when I saw what was involved with it.
