Ensnared: Escaping New Age and Occult Practices Through Biblical Truth and Gospel Hope
Saved by Jesus from a life immersed in the occult, Jac Marino Chen exposes New Age lies with the truth of God’s Word.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”—John 1:5
Jac Marino Chen was a drug-and-alcohol addicted, self-described sorceress practicing ritual magick in a masonic temple. Trapped by darkness, deception, and hopelessness, she didn’t think there was a way out—until Jesus rescued her.
In a world where occult and New Age practices are becoming increasingly mainstream, Ensnared will help
understand the basics of New Age and occult teachings and see what really happens behind closed doors;
identify the demonic elements behind occult practices involving numerology, crystals, tarot cards, alchemy, alien contact, witchcraft, and more; and
break free from false promises of connection, identity, and control, and be empowered to reach out to others caught in deception.
Brimming with the hope only Jesus can bring, Ensnared reveals not only what occurs in the darkness, but how to proclaim the glorious gospel, exalt Christ, and rightly wield the Word of God.

Not only an engaging autobiography of one woman’s pursuit of meaning through the occult and her ultimate rescue through Jesus, but a great biblically focused resource addressing a variety of occultism practices. If you were dabbling in the occult, or fully entrenched in a cult, or know someone who is, this is an invaluable resource of Hope.

I could not put this book down. This explains so many things I have seen and heard and experienced in my lifetime. There were so many aha moments.
Jac's life testimony is so beautiful because of what God has done. All glory to Him and for His grace!
This is written with a large audience in mind, I haven't been involved in most of what she describes and yet in her "Heart Checks," I found myself in the same shoes, repenting and praising God for his grace toward me.
If you're in the occult, if you're questioning the occult, if you're flirting with occult practices, if your loved one or when neighbors are involved with the occult, this is a great read for Truth. I recommend it for apologetics in sharing the gospel with ourselves and with others. I've also had great conversations with my kids over these topics, which they encounter in movies and books.
I thank God for Jac's grandpa and his honesty. May we all be honest like him..
