Book Review: The Dangers & Realities Exposed.
Summary: 5 Stars

This extremely well written study describes how, what are cited as the uninformed and the naïve, are often drawn to the Ouija board as a game, toy or a source of innocent fun, whilst other individuals are seduced into using the Ouija board by promises that it will enable them to "explore their subconscious", to "communicate with the departed" or to "channel human/nonhuman spirit guides".

The book cites using the Ouija board as being one of the most popular but least understood practices, whereby it's seemingly harmless application (attitudes shown to be sadly prevalent amongst even some `Church' leaders & `Christian' parents) often pursued in hilarity, rapidly descends into what are depicted as a web of deception and demonic activity which can entrap and dominate the participants amidst forces of which they have little if any understanding.

The reader is shown how that "communications" obtained through using the Ouija board often start under the guise of being provided with "spiritual" or personal information. Incidents where the "contacts" often seem benign or benevolent , even offering "correct" information about individual persons, together with detail relating to past incidents & even some predictions relating to the future. However, these are shown to then develop a hold over the operators which can rapidly deteriorate into frightening, vile and dangerous experiences.

The study pulls no punches in outlining that the "supernatural phenomena" associated with the Ouija board are not manifestations of departed spirits (as some would claim) but proceeds to describe what the Holy Bible unequivocally states on the matter, with all human spirits having an immediate destination (heaven or hades).

The book further specifying that any "communication" with the supernatural realm obtained through using the Ouija board is with demonic entities, although the messages received will rarely reveal evidence of their demonic origin. Deception being cited here as at the heart of demonic operation in order to gain allegiance and manipulate the individuals concerned. Reference also being made to the Biblical clarity of all evil spirits being demonic entities who serve the devil and his realm.

Entities cities as having depraved and evil natures who affect their victims mentally, morally, physically and spiritually through demonic intrusion into a user's personality. Cases are cited here which show how many have experienced what are described as the invasion of their minds by thoughts & feelings so foreign to the own nature's as to cause them great concern, distress and even panic.

The reader is shown through numerous examples how any "messages" received will seldom reveal the vileness of their demonic source with many even sounding "moralistic" and "impressive". However the book reveals that all the sources will ignore or undermine the unique claims of Biblical Christianity and the redeeming work of Jesus Christ & His sacrificial death for sin and the atoning of His blood on the cross.

Through reference to many cases, much of the information acquired through the Ouija board is shown to be unknown to the operators of the board & often at a level and degree far beyond the normal capacity of the individuals concerned. Sometimes provided even in languages unknown to anyone present.

One such example cited shows where school staff /students involved in seances asked a specific question following which the Ouija board itself was picked up into the air by an unseen "force" and torn completely in half, whilst a cupboard nearby was knocked over.

Many such incidents are shown which can only relate to the presence and activity of an intelligent disincarnate energy. Examples cited include those where room temperatures suddenly and inexplicably droppedsome 20 degrees, accompanied by gusts of `wind' blowing books from shelves & pictures off walls whilst all doors and windows were firmly shut. Objects used on the Ouija board also moving around without contact or other physical influence.

This entire subject is approached from a Christian viewpoint where such participation is spiritually unhealthy/dangerous because of the perils of occult entrapment. An entire section being devoted to the Biblical view of demons, demonic activity. The book outlining the numerous, detailed Biblical references to the various kinds of divination and occult practices to which the Oujia board is shown to have a direct connection. Many of these are outlined in the Old Testament books of Deuteronomy ch.18 and Leviticus ch.19 & ch.20.

Importantly, tbook also illustrates how a person entrapped in the occult through the Ouija board can experience deliverance through the authority and power of Jesus Christ as outlined in the Holy Bible.

Having made the mistake in my youth of becoming involved in the occult through an initially innocent practice of the Ouija board & having seen the disastrous consequences that can result, I can only highly recommend this study to all readers. Through the Grace of God I was able to renounce and utterly repent of this involvement. However, it left me with the distinct awareness of the realities and dangers associated with the subject which are commendably covered in this study.
