Book Reviews of Shadows of the Dark
Book Review: A personal and important perspective on the demonic
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read Malachi Martin's "Hostage to the Devil", Brittle/Warrens "The Demonologist" and "The Devil in Connecticut", Scott Peck's "Glimpses of the Devil", plus several books by Gabriel Amorth ("An Exorcist Tells His Story" and "An Exorcist: More Stories")[all good and highly recommended], I wondered what new information or viewpoint might be provided by this book on the issues of demonology, oppression, and possession. I was very pleasantly surprised- there are extremely honest personal insights, disappointments, and even some frank weariness that comes through in the writing that helped me better understand the sacrifices the authors and many others have to make to help both innocent and misguided people escape the demonic. I have no experience in this area (and have no desire for that to change), but if you or a family member are experiencing paranormal/demonic oppression, this would be an excellent book to read. The writing style is very clear, and the case reports are very well done, in my opinion. I guess I was naive, but it really surprised and sickened me when Mr. Zaffis cautioned in some detail that some "demonologists" have gone over to the dark side, and may show up pretending to help people with just the opposite intent in their hearts (the magnitude of the struggle suddenly seems more apparent). This realization alone is worth the price of the book. God bless the authors and everyone else who seek to free people suffering from the chains of the demonic, and God bless their families for the sacrifices they make as well. Not every author puts their contact information on the last page, just in case it's needed.
