Witness the conflict that's been part of the universe since creation. It's a classic battle of good versus evil in which Jesus comes in humility but leaves in glory. As Christians we know that angels-- good and evil--are real, not from firsthand accounts, but because God reveals their truth to us in Scripture. Gain a knowledge of the occult, spiritism, demon possession, and Satanism, and see some of the games people play with the devil and how to avoid these pitfalls.

I have read a few of the books in the People's Bible Teachings series and this is the best so far. It is well-written, easily relatable, and full of interesting information. While a lot of it I had read before, I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few things.
Easily Relatable: The author uses the analogy of the Wild West to symbolize the fight between good and evil. Each chapter begins with a story to illustrate the point. Some of my favorites--comparing the angels to the Texas Rangers, portraying the allure of witchcraft to "Women of the Evening", playing with the occult as gambling with the devil, and defeating Satan as "How Our Rest was Won".
The first three chapters were about the good angels, while the rest of the book focused on demons. I thought that was fitting as most people are more familiar with angels than demons.
Interesting Information: Anton LaVey, one of the leaders of the Satanic movement, does not believe Satan exists. The devil has even fooled him. I had never heard of or read the nine commandments of the Church of Satan. They are all parodies of the ten commandments and meant to mock Christianity.
While I knew of the link between suicide and demonic influence/possession, I had never thought of it in terms of Judas Iscariot.
The author illustrates just how sneaky Satan is and how the demonic has crept into our lives. The popularity of these "Angel Readings" which are nothing more than divination, spring to mind.
One thing I took away from this book was that we are so blessed to be born in and live in a country where we have the freedom to worship the Lord. In many other countries the superstition and witchcraft has infected the culture. I will pray for the missionaries in foreign lands and for the people to be able to hear the light of the gospel and turn from the wicked lies of Satan.

Good information but focused a huge hunk on Satan and the occult, witchcraft, etc. Going to read "Angels" by Billy Graham next to compare material.
