The Red Dragon Cast Down: A Redemptive Approach to the Occult and Satanism [Paperback]

E. James Wilder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1999

What causes a person to become involved in Satanism? How should Christians respond to the real threats of cults and the occult?

As E. James Wilder explains, the Bible teaches that we are all part of two communities, one natural and one spiritual. The natural community is made up of our families, friends, work, and culture, while the spiritual community revolves around God or Satan. When Christians and the Christian community fail to give people proper love and support, the door is opened for cults and the occult to provide for these human needs. This practical, comprehensive book shows how changes in the spiritual world that began with the first Christmas give Christians the power to affect both the spiritual and natural world.

Upbeat and nonsensational, The Red Dragon Cast Down will encourage those seeking answers. This powerful tool for those with cult or occult backgrounds, ministry and prayer teams, church communities, and parents is the only book that approaches restoration from evil using a community-based counseling perspective.

This review is from: The Red Dragon Cast Down: A Redemptive Approach to the Occult and Satanism (Paperback)

I'm Director of Counsellor Training for Elijah House Canada and highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with severe abuse. There is information about love bonds, fear bonds, weak bonds. There is invaluable information about identity building and repair. Chapter 8's section on 20 Guidelines for Trauma Teams is worth the price of the book alone. Counselors, anyone hearing people talk about their severe abuse needs to know how to detox. See chapter 8.

5.0 out of 5 stars A timely word for the Church today dealing with evil, October 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Red Dragon Cast Down: A Redemptive Approach to the Occult and Satanism (Paperback)

Thank you Jim Wilder for providing us with the truth about Satanism in the world today. You have provided an easy to follow guide for redemption and restoration for those who have been victimized by the evil practices of the Occult. It is time we (the Church) take our heads out of the sand and see this world for what it is. Red dragon Cast Down has taken the mystery out of the dark evil of the occult and revealed it for what it is. I have found this work very helpful for me as a minister to Santanic Abuse Victims. This is especially true for the ministery to the total person as opposed to just healing of the memories. I encourage everyone who is working with victims at any level to read this book and open your eyes to what God is seeking to do in setting the captive free.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent treatment of a difficult subject!, October 16, 1999

By 

Russ Urquhart (Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Red Dragon Cast Down: A Redemptive Approach to the Occult and Satanism (Paperback)

Dr. Wilder has done a masterful job of providing a great deal of information about a very difficult subject, in a manner that not only educates, but also motivates action. There is a wealth of specific "how to" information, with appropriate scholarly documentation. Dr. Wilder's writing style is appealing, without resorting to gimmicks. The reader is rewarded with great information in an easy to read format. This book is the best treatment of this subject I have ever read!
