4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, April 30, 2001

By A Customer

The late Kurt Koch was a German Lutheran minister who held a Doctrate in Divinity. This book has a "dictionary" type format. The cases in the book come from Dr. Koch's own files. I find Dr. Koch's books a relief over spurious books on the occult such as the "Satan Seller". This book is similar to some of Koch's other books such as "Between Christ and Satan" and "The Devil's Alphabet". This book is larger than the previous 2 mentioned, goes into more subjects, and has a larger section on deliverence from occult bondage. Mr. Koch writes from his own expierneces, not just merely writing what fundamentalist might want to hear. The of the subjects include "The 6th and 7th Books of Moses", "Rosicrucians" "levitation" "Satan Worship" and things you would expect. It also includes some subjects that are out of place like "Rock Music" and Homosexuality" (although I was surprised by Koch's view that gays are born that way). Koch's views come from his expirences as a counselor...he doesn't always go with what fundamentalists my view subjects. This makes the book refreshing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of many areas of the occult, October 25, 1997

By A Customer

This is an excellent book to give a foundantion of understanding in many areas of the occult. There are some areas that I disagree with Mr. Koch, but on the whole I feel he is on target in his assessments on the subjects at hand. Warning: this book does not give in depth analysis of any area of the occult, 1-2 pages is the normal.

5.0 out of 5 stars About As Thorough A Source You'll Find On The Subject, May 16, 2007

By	R. McRae (Saugus, CA) - See all my reviews

A reference source for years, reminds one of the many snares Satan has set for us. How often we are casually asked the question, "what sign are you?" Even by fellow Christians ignorant of the dangers of Astrology. And with the recent rise in popularity of Yoga, even at many local health clubs, this book is right on target in its warnings. How many seemingly harmless practices believers fall into, not knowing the consequences can be harsh. Well needed in this age of growing deceptions
