Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Our culture is saturated with the supernatural. TV shows such as Medium, Charmed, and Lost all have an "other-worldly" theme. Most of them blur the lines between good and evil. This past year was a "record" year for Hollywood in the production of films that dealt with the supernatural/paranormal. While we choose our entertainment, our kids don't often have the luxury of choosing whether to be exposed to these things at school.

This book seeks to present a lucid and comprehensive examination of the paranormal and occult by breaking down the principles of paranormal practices, giving key points about the practices so that parents can readily identify them. The book discusses the occult view of supernatural energy and of good and evil, and how these concepts are seen in some popular literature and movies. The book also explains the dangers and gives a biblical basis for concern. Christian parents need to be equipped to discuss these matters with their children!

About the Author
Marcia Montenegro is a former professional astrologer who was involved in seeking out the supernatural, as well as being involved in paranormal New Age practices. She was compelled by the intense love of Jesus to give up occult practices and turn to him as her Lord and Savior. Because of her background, she understands the appeal and dangers of the paranormal and now lectures on these topics around the country and on the radio. She is a member of Cherrydale Baptist Church and lives in Arlington, Virginia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Praise for Spellbound!, March 19, 2007
I enjoyed this book, and see it as a good introduction to the occult for average parents who may be concerned about the spiritual health of their children in today's society. I also really appreciate the way Ms. Montenegro distinguishes between fantasy and occult in fictional stories. She leaves parents the option of nurturing a child's imagination, while at the same time equipping them to recognize occult like influences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbound review , September 21, 2006
By Susan Montello (Northeren Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a child and family counselor, I found this book to be very helpful in discerning the influences that children and teens are exposed to on a regular basis. This book would help parents and those who work with youth to protect them in practical ways. The guidelines offered are realistic and can be sensibly implemented. This is a fantastic easy read and I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calluses, March 12, 2007
By Laurie Bluedorn (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Author Marcia Montenegro, former professional astrologer, now believer in Jesus Christ, wrote this book to "inform parents about the basics of the paranormal" but more importantly, to warn us of the real danger of the now widespread, near common place, occurrence of all things occultic. We have now become desensitized "to the bizarre, to violence, and to evil. This desensitization gradually increases, but often in ways so subtle, the person is unaware of it. It is as if invisible calluses develop on the person's spirit, mind, and emotions. This effect may only be noticeable to others after a period of time." This chapter "Calluses on the Soul" alone is worth the price of the book.
