Spellbound: The Paranormal Seduction of Today's Kids
Our culture is saturated with the supernatural. TV shows such as Medium, Charmed, and Lost all have an "other-worldly" theme. Most of them blur the lines between good and evil. This past year was a "record" year for Hollywood in the production of films that dealt with the supernatural/paranormal. While we choose our entertainment, our kids don't often have the luxury of choosing whether to be exposed to these things at school.
This book seeks to present a lucid and comprehensive examination of the paranormal and occult by breaking down the principles of paranormal practices, giving key points about the practices so that parents can readily identify them. The book discusses the occult view of supernatural energy and of good and evil, and how these concepts are seen in some popular literature and movies. The book also explains the dangers and gives a biblical basis for concern. Christian parents need to be equipped to discuss these matters with their children!

I read this book in one day, which allowed me to see the book in its entirety. Because I read and studied much about this subject, I supposed that this book would learn me, a few new things. Nevertheless, this was not the case. Since the author has a good understanding and personal experience concerning the topic. I think that Spellbound is a book that we as Christians should read. We must certainly not forget that nowadays we are heavily surrounded by occult practises. When I was growing up, many TV programs, computer games etc. contained occultism, without ever knowing it in real depth. The devil and his minions have their special tactics for every distinct situation. That is why I think we should have at least some basic knowledge about this topic. To protect ourselves and our loved ones.
