Afraid : demon possession and spiritual warfare in America / Robert H. Bennett.

• I am afraid: asking the devil into your home -- Voodoo and American spirituality -- Three competing worldviews -- Native American religions -- The problems of video gaming and the internet -- Spending the day with spiritualists -- Don't worry, pastor, they are nice ghosts -- There is something wrong with the children -- What does an exorcism look like? -- An ongoing spiritual battle -- An improper response -- Answers for a society in fear.

• "A fascinating and unnerving book, Afraid is a must-read that equips all Christians to recognize the devil's influence in our society and to act on it. Robert Bennett describes real events and actual confessions people have shared with him of demonic encounters - in America, in our modern age. Summoning demons, interacting with "ghosts," and holding seances led ot what many may call horrifying hallucinations and even schizophrenia. But for many Americans, these things are their spirituality. How can we break free from the despair and crushing fear that such encounters can bring? How do we come to the aid of our neighbors who are lost in Satan's deceptions? Bennett points us to the only way out: God's grace and the medicines He gives to His people."--Back cover.
