So far this book is decent, but there are few things I don’t agree with. 1) The authors are big fans of Michael Heiser, who in my opinion had some very strange beliefs about the “Divine Council” and who I stay away from, and 2) They are referring to Leviathon and Behemoth from Job as “impersonal chaotic forces,” when those two creatures were very clearly described as REAL animals in Job.

It’s hard to decide how I’ll rate this book. It has a lot of really good information, mixed in with a TON of typos, and silly mistakes (like saying that Paul is the author of 1 Peter on page 196) 🤦🏼♀️ (Peter is the author of 1 & 2 Peter, as he identifies himself as the author at the beginning of both letters). I am amazed that the authors did not have this book proofread before publishing it.

“The Bible tells us that at least one impersonal universal force is destructive (Leviathan and comes from a malevolent source (Satan). It also tells us to avoid practices that bring us into contact force (such as mediation, trance, chanting, and drugs, etc.), as these practices bring us not only into contact with the force itself (which opens the door for chaos to enter our lives), but also with the personal spiritual forces overseeing such practices (Ephesians 6:12) —making it doubly dangerous.”

We’ll have to see how the rest of the book goes. So far it’s been decent, but if they start to wander off into strange beliefs then it may end up being one that I don’t recommend.
This book also could have used a serious proof-reading before being published. Not sure if the copy I have is older and most of these errors have been fixed, but on almost every page there are words left out of sentences. Nothing that you can’t easily understand what they are saying, but still. It’s as if they just wrote the book in one go, and didn’t read back over before publishing it to fix these little mistakes.
