A wonderful book, very in-depth and deep. I have learned a lot about having a Biblical World View, as well as the fact that there are demons, but no ghosts.
The book goes step by step, looking through a Biblical World View, to show why God would never leave people's souls stuck on earth. There are many shows and much interest, these days, on ghosts. They are quite misleading and this book is a helpful tool in getting to the bottom of the mystery.

I like the idea of this book, but did not like the writing or approach. I was hoping for an academic presentation on the topic from a religion perspective, but it lacked theological evidence. Scripture references are very thin, the section Scripture Jesus and Ghosts cites only five King James verses. However, none of the scriptures relate to ghosts or the dead. In one scripture reference, 1 Samuel 28, the author states, "God communicated with King Saul via a dead Samuel," but that script actually references the battle (nothing about anyone being dead or communication with the dead).

At the beginning of chapter three the author writes, "In case you...skipped ahead to read the ghost-specific sections, let me succinctly summarize the last chapter," he may have had an awareness that parts of his book are not compelling. That then leads to a tedious repeat of information from an already uninteresting first two chapters. The author makes assuptions that the reader does not understand the concept of worldview and says as much, "you may never heard of a worldview" and goes on to explain at length this basic concept, which leaves long stretches of text bothersome to read. I also noticed that he mentions malls frequently, so that made me wonder who he was writing for (people who live near malls maybe?).

If you are interested in ghosts, are christian, and don't demand too much from writing nor require evidence for arguements you might enjoy this book.

This is probably the most comprehensive book I've read to-date on this subject, and it's from a Christ- and God-centered perspective. The author tackles the topic from a variety of directions, some of which I'd never thought of. Even if a reader disagrees with his conclusion (I don't), he/she will find the questions the Mr. Hunnemann poses to be very thought-provoking and worth consideration.

Mr. Hunnemann puts things into perspective and explains ghosts in a way that isn't over anyone's head and in a very conversational tone. I highly recommend it!
