"The Steps To Freedom In Christ" outlines 7 steps to complete Freedom in Christ. This book goes a very long way in listing things that Christianity should have nothing to do with including: homosexuality, witchcraft, and other various types of cults. However, I will say that I completely disagree with the authors POV on Christianity. The way that he outlines it, it almost gives us a works righteousness. The idea that we are righteous by our works apart from the works of the law. Something that Bible, specifically in Romans by Paul, speaks about. This is not a typical book. It's more like an instruction manual on how to be a "good Christian", but I think the author misses the fact that nobody is perfect, and this book puts down a whole group of people that it shouldn't. Especially since Homosexuality isn't even a sin. I give it 1 star.

My parents believed that God wanted to send me free from all my fear that they drove me from San Diego to Orange County just so I could go through this Study Guide (Youth Edition) when I was a young girl just beginning to experience anxiety for the first time. This book set the course for my entire life, and taught me that I don’t have to be afraid. I can choose not to believe the lies. I can rebuke them in Jesus’ name and be set free.

Great to use as guide for helping disciple friends, or as a personal inventory. It addresses key areas in a very straightforward fashion. Anderson didn't want to call them steps, as they can be used in any order, but publisher wanted it. It is really just areas to address in discipleship, like pride, sexual sin, occult involvement, unforgiveness, etc.

This is a really good step-by-step, prayer-by-prayer, book for ensuring that one is free in Christ and not bound to the world and its evil. I found it practical, helpful, and broad. It is an excellent way to pray away evil and focus on good.

Life changing study when done with Spiritual
Friends. Fortunately God provided just such friends for me when I was in Abilene Texas many years ago. They took me through this study and it truly dead set me free and many many ways. Highly recommend this study.

I keep using this over and over. A must DO for all Christians
October 12, 2023
What lead to me read this book was not interest. It is joining my read folder simply because the man I'm gonna marry is going to school for practical theology; he does not agree with everything in this book. Almost everything in it is complete and utter rubbish. It’s horrifyingly close to the thought process that lead to the burning of alleged witches. The author of this book seems to claim that if you do not believe everything and don't do everything that appears in this work of fiction, then you have probably ‘not stood firm in the faith or lived according to who you are in Christ.’ What the author is really doing is purporting to be the ultimate authority on what it takes and means to be a Christian and basically telling us to obey his orders or we’ll be thrown into the fires of hell to burn for all eternity. Ironic, given the fact that in the very first paragraph of this book, he states that since Jesus died on the cross, we have already been forgiven.
For example: the author had the balls to suggest that if we have difficulty or do not want to follow the rules he wrote in this short book, which is best left in a garbage can, that we should seek ‘professional help.’ I’ll pass. This is all mumbo jumbo. Neil T. Anderson repeats his mantra multiple times; suggests that we should not dare to disagree with him and should not make up our own minds and that we should simply ask God for guidance. Funnily enough, the last time I asked God for help, He didn’t lead me to this nutty nonsense. The author includes a prayer that we are supposed to pray so we can be free and be able to know the will of God. Again, purporting to be the ultimate authority, Anderson suggests that if we don’t do what he suggests, then we don’t know what we’re doing. Also, if we don’t follow these rules, then we don’t know if God loves us. Rubbish!
In that first paragraph, he also asks if we are receiving the joys and wonders of Jesus Christ or if we’re slaves to the bondage of sin. From what I’ve heard from select friends and acquaintances, bondage in the bedroom can actually do wonders for a couple (relax. It's a joke😝). Our eternal destiny is apparently not at stake, but our daily victory is. Basically, if you do something the author of this book does not like, you MUST be under the powers of Satan himself, but are not a helpless victim of the lord of the underworld; still, ‘repent or else’ is the basic message.
Under ‘The Battle For Your Mind,’ it states that you may experience opposing thoughts when/if you try to follow these guidelines. Such opposing thoughts as: ‘This isn’t going to work,’ or, ‘God doesn’t love me.’ I’m fairly certain that neither of those options would be my opposing thought. Mine, as I unfortunately read this, was: ‘I’m not gonna do anything this author suggests. This stuff is absolutely bonkers!’ Especially since the author suggests that we should not pay attention to our opposing thoughts. Translation: Don't you dare disagree with me! As an added bonus, the author invites us to purchase two other books and hopes we’ll get brainwashed by them. Again, I’ll pass.
Under ‘Counterfeit vs. Real,' the author tells us to avoid the following:
1. Out of body experience.
2. Ouija board.
3. Bloody Mary.
4. Light As A Feather (Whatever that is…).
5. Magic Eight Ball (You have GOT to be kidding me!).
6. Spells or curses (Sorry J.K. Rowling).
7. Mental telepathy.
8. Automatic Writing.
9. Trances.
10. Spirit guides.
11. Fortune telling.
12. Tarot Cards.
13. Levitation.
14. Magic The Gathering (My ex is apparently screwed).
15. Witchcraft/Sorcery (Sorry again, J.K. Rowling).
16. Satanism (The author doesn’t seem to know the real definition of this religion. Satanism has nothing to do with Lucifer. Satanism is the belief that you are your own God).
17. Palm reading.
18. Astrology and Horoscopes (Well, a former friend of mine is screwed, too!)
19. Hypnosis (Every counsellor or psychiatrist that uses this method is apparently going to be rooming with Hitler).
20. Seances.
21. Black or white magic.
22. Fantasy games with occult images.
23. Blood pacts or cutting yourself on purpose (I admit the latter is a serious issue, but requires help, not threats of hell).
24. Idol worship, crystals, and good luck charms (Sorry, can’t have a lucky rabbits foot anymore!).
25. Sexual spirits. (As if it's even remotely possible for spirits to have sex...)
26. Martial arts (The author would accuse my former roommate of idol worship with this one).
27. Mysticism or Devotion to Sensei.
28. Superstitions (Go ahead and crack that mirror. Give it a go! The seven years of bad luck are irrelevant).
29. Occult or violent video and computer games.
Just when you don’t think there’s more, there is. The author desperately found every known religion that is still practised today and was nice enough to give us a list. Apparently, Yoga is a religion 🤷. We are to make a list of TV shows, music, books, mags, or comics that glorify Satan, have caused fear or nightmares, were gruesomely violent, or ‘stimulated the flesh.’ The author then listed questions to which any answer one could give would be the wrong answer, and you must repent at once, "or else!!!" I admit that a Christian should definitely avoid anything that worships, glorifies, or defends Satan, but that's all I hand to this author on this.
On page 12, the author was trying to force me to ignore my absolutely natural thought that even considering to follow these steps was a waste of time, but not to worry. I didn’t let this brain wash me.🤘 We can all heave a collected sigh of relief.
This book seriously suggests that anxiety and fears are the result of the devil. According to this book, Jesus can be our excuse. This can be interpreted in any way, really. There’s no immediate context to the sentence in which he suggests this. With that, I could hit another vehicle with mine, simply say, “Jesus,’ and everything will be fine. I can go slap my boss if they get ridiculous, simply say the Savior's name, and all will be hunky dory. I don’t think so. That’s not how it works. God is not your personal fairy godmother.
Page 17 wants us to read aloud that Jesus has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to his kingdom. I don’t know about you, but since I’m alive, I’m pretty sure that I’m still on Earth (Knock on wood! Oops! A superstition!). It also wants us to read out loud that we are seated next to God in Heaven. While you're still alive, this can’t happen yet. That’s called a delusion. Also, only Jesus may sit at the right hand of the Father.
On page 19, the author says that anyone who strives to forget something will find it impossible. You don’t say!
This also seriously suggests that we count all the times we have masturbated, and say a prayer for each individual session, and repent. Who could possibly keep track of that? Anderson also suggests that multiple personality disorder is the result of Satanism.
And now we get to a part with a crap load of prayers. I didn’t pray them, obviously. There’s one to repent if you’re divorced, a homosexual, have had an abortion, have had suicidal tendencies, if you’re a perfectionist, if you’ve an eating disorder, if you’ve self-mutilated, and if you’ve used illegal drugs. I don’t personally use illegal drugs, and don’t think anyone should, but that’s as far as I go with that one; and no one should harm themselves. It was very insulting to see that there was a prayer in here about renouncing homosexuality. I am a bisexual man. It is not who I am, it is merely what I am. Nevertheless, one of the ten commandments is ‘Thou Shalt Not Lie.’ That means I cannot lie to myself or others because I would be breaking one of the ten commandments, and thereby denying the person that God made me. The Bible even states that God gave us our desires. Also, the original Hebrew and Greek do not condemn loving same sex relationships and marriages. Take that, Neil T. Anderson!
These are a list of things that allegedly take God’s place in our lives:
1. Ambition.
2. Food or any substance.
3. Money.
4. Possessions.
5. Computers (Oops! I’m using one now! I’m screwed!!!).
6. Financial security.
7. Celebrities/Royalty (Oops! I’ve been reading books about a royal family. I MUST be worshiping them. Oh, no!!!).
8. Church Activities (Odd addition, if you ask me. Every church that I’ve ever been to encourages people to join the activities and causes).
9. TV/Movies/Music/Other media (That’s right! Be completely and utterly bored out of your mind when you’re not praying. Just sit there and stare at the four walls!!!).
10. Sports or physical fitness (That’s right! You can’t take care of your body at your doctor’s orders!).
11. Fun/pleasure
12. Ministry (WHISKEY TANGO HOTEL?!).
13. Appearance/Image (I guess we shouldn’t bathe because otherwise we are worshiping ourselves. What a load of waffle!).
14. Work (Don’t go to work, people! Don’t make money!)
15. Busyness/Activity.
16. Friends (You probably shouldn’t ask to hang out with me! It’s apparently forbidden).
17. Power/Control.
18. Boyfriend/Girlfriend (Load of waffle. When people are straight, no one tells them that their significant other is preventing time with God. I have been told this since I’m gay, however).
19. Popularity.
20. Spouse.
21. Children (I guess we’re not supposed to raise our kids! We can’t teach them right from wrong! Even though the Bible says to believe His children, to love them, and take care of them. Never mind that! This author says we can’t!).
22. Knowledge.
23. Hobbies.
24. Parents (Guess I shouldn’t go over to my parents’ place to see them and make sure they’re doing okay).
Fears of these things could send you to hell, allegedly:
1. Satan.
2. Divorce.
3. Death.
4. Not being loved by God.
5. Never being loved.
6. Disapproval.
7. Embarrassment.
8. Failure.
9. Being/Becoming homosexual (This fear is only created when a person has been brainwashed into believing it’s a sin. It never was, isn’t, and never will be a sin).
10. Financial problems.
11. Of going crazy.
12. Of being a hopeless case.
13. Death of a loved one.
14. Of the future.
15. Confrontation.
16. Of being victimized by crime.
17. Of having committed the unpardonable sin.
18. Of specific people, animals, or objects.
19. Of not being able to love others.
20. Of marriage.
21. Of rejection by people.
22. Of never getting married.
23. Of never having children.
Seriously! Who let this guy write a book? It's nonsense like this that makes my head spin. There is clearly a difference between having an interest in something and worshiping it. There is no real difference between same sex attraction and opposite sex attraction. There is no legitimate reason to have no interests. There is no legitimate reason to believe that this book is a good way to change yourself. I can't in all good conscience as a Christian support this. 🤦♂️

“Steps to Freedom in Christ” by Neil T. Anderson is a profound guide that has served as a beacon of hope and a manual for liberation for many, including myself, who have been held in bondage through sin or persecution.
The book outlines seven pivotal steps that one must follow to break free from the chains of sin and persecution. These steps, which range from distinguishing the counterfeit from the real, deception from truth, bitterness from forgiveness, rebellion from submission, pride from humility, bondage from freedom, to curses from blessings, are deeply rooted in the Word of God.
Anderson emphasizes that the Word of God is the all-enlightening truth that one must accept to embark on this journey towards freedom. He asserts that our perspective, how we see things, is at the core of our bondage or freedom1. If we are not viewing what’s in front of us correctly, we need to remedy the situation.
The book serves as a practical manual, providing actionable steps and spiritual guidance to help readers navigate their way out of the darkness of sin and into the light of God’s grace. It underscores the transformative power of faith and the role of God and His angels in breaking free from the chains of sin1.
In conclusion, “Steps to Freedom in Christ” is more than just a book; it’s a roadmap to spiritual liberation. It’s a testament to the power of faith and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Whether you’re battling sin or seeking spiritual growth, this book is a practical and invaluable resource.

It is a practical and useful book that helps and improves my life. To get the best result, this book should ideally be used in a mini-retreat setting for completing the seven steps in one occasion. Highly recommended.

VERY CHARASMATIC! Very similar to the teaching of Marvin Smith, I like the idea of tearing down lies and rising up truth but I'm not into the mystical spooky side of it. Good book to help someone get free from sin but you better know what you believe from scripture.

So helpful
Thank you all glory to God I am free. This book helped me so much I never thought of some of the things that I did in my past that I needed to repent from. This helped me so much

There is no more valuable tool than Steps to Freedom. It is concise yet thorough, and it is a process that should be followed by every Christian on a regular basis.

Good book. Theologically sound. Thorough.

Just a 1 for 1 translation of the video series. The content is great, amazing. But why read the book when the video series exists and includes personal testimonies.
March 26, 2025
Much like Lewis' Screwtape and Foster's Disciplines, this should be a staple in every Believer's library to be constantly reread (and put into practice)!

This is a very good book on experiencing freedom in Christ. It is very similar to Restoring The Foundations ministry. It is a much-needed companion of every Christian.
October 9, 2024
I have read this book at least ten times since last April. It is a short read but as a certified encourager with Freedom In Christ Ministries I continue to find it personally uplifting when I walk myself or someone else through the steps. The opportunity this Biblically grounded material offers is an environment and atmosphere designed for someone to safely and encouragingly go through the process of acknowledgment, confessing and repenting of sins that separate believers from God. The freedom I have experienced holistically in my relationship with God and His church through this simple yet time consuming and at times difficult process is more than I can express. However, my disagreement lies not with the steps or with the opening but the theology behind Identity Theology. To build up ones identity as the sanctuary in which one abides dangerously supersedes Good presence for the reflective moment. It's not in yourself that you are to solely find identity and strength It further separates and hyper-individualizes already susceptible people to the community of Jesus. A community inherently designed to be engaging, encouraging and familial, but instead is generally unsafe and toxic. These steps are indeed sound and biblical. The pairing of them with such theology creates a danger that isolates rather than strengthen

This "book" (really a pamphlet) was required for a class in Christian formation. I found it contrived and didactic, and in no means useful. The questionnaires are from a past age where sins like caffeine and alcohol garner sure damnation, and the remedies recommended are likewise from ages of old such as a highly suspect prayer that sounds not unlike an incantation. There are definitely better books out there if you are truly seeking Christ.

Amazing Scriptural Freedom!
This is an amazing short book on becoming free from the strongholds that imprison everyone at some point in life and it is all based on GOD’s truth!

Helpful to guide a discipleship discussion. Ensure that you are dealing with a proficient Christian before recommending. Could be off putting to those far from the Christian faith.
