Great Read

I really enjoyed reading this book. It really broke down the operation of an Absalom spirit and how I can be prepared to deal with it. This knowledge has definitely sharpened my discernment.

[Anne Hamilton · Rating 3 out of 5]

In many respects, this is an excellent book which outlines the chaos and confusion that an Absalom spirit can bring to a church, family, business or ministry. I did however feel that there was a deficiency. In basing the blueprint for the tactics of this spirit on the life of David's rebel son Absalom, it would have been good to address the pre-conditions that embittered him against his father. In ignoring the fact that David set up the circumstances that tempted Absalom into the path he pursued, I felt the book missed an opportunity to speak of preventative measures.
