Book Reviews of Witchcraft and Black Magic
Book Review: A must have book for the Christian's library -
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an interesting book to add to any Christian's book collection. Filled with valid anecdotal stories of witchcraft and Satanisim primarily from the 16th and 17th centuries.
In this book he captures various resources long lost or forgotten. As a purist, I find the author partial to Roman Christianity but thankfully he is without overbearing.
Although written in 1945, the book is a cumbersome read with heavy usage of antiquated words. He tends to add the phrase, "at any rate" far too often and the book's structure is loose and disorganized. However, as a wordsmith, some passages are absolutely stunning in their elegance.
This aside, it is a valuable portrait of a more sensible time when Satanism and witchcraft faced some very earthly opposition and its exposure was far more prevalent. He illustrates these vipers proclivity to killing, poisoning and corrupting -- So, when one reads the contents of a typical food label or hears about all the missing children annually or looks at a grotesque movie/album cover, I can't but help think that such forces are at work today too, bringing this subject forward to us now.
Mr. Summers is short to suggest the proper spiritual tools to be employed to combat such nefarious orchestrations, but does a good job of calling out the unacceptable deviant behavior. I also enjoy his delicate undercurrent of tracing all this rebellious spiritualism to the Jewish Cabala.
However, for all its fascinating revelation, the author fails to mention that he himself is promoting the Freemason checkerboard subterfuge of black and white, with the truth somewhere over there in the corner with nary a light cast upon it.
Read your bible folks :-)
