dont bother this is one mans belief and a load of rubbish there are good and bad i all walks of life spirits ghosts do exist
Format:Paperback
This book is extremeley useful and helpful to those with their own doubts or wishing to counsel those involved in things which are leading them astray. I've read it cover to cover but it's a good book to keep to dip in and out of when necessary. It's out on loan at the moment and the 'borrower' is reluctant to return!!

Well-researched and useful

Format:Paperback
How do you counterattack the supernatural bombardment our modern world undergoes? The Truth Behind Ghosts, Mediums & Psychic Phenomena provides the reader with ample, relevant warnings and ammunition. Opening with dramatized examples of people who have sought psychic help, this book gives lucid accounts of the various types of psychic information flooding our lives, from TV shows like Ghost Whisperer and movies like The Sixth Sense to paranormal education courses in local schools; from psychic fairs and retreats to occult board games like Bloody Mary.
Rhodes then discusses modern roots and causes of the contemporary move towards a theology of the spirits. A primer on types of psychic phenomena adds to readers' understanding of relevant terms from more commonly known ones, such as occultism and divination, to lesser known such as psychometry, clairaudience and clairalience. Building on this background, Rhodes delves into the truth behind it all. Firmly founded on Bible passages, the whole subject area is brought under the research microscope, looking at the frauds and how they are perpetrated, as well as the gullibility of the audience, and manipulation by demons. An interesting section compares the psychic view and the Christian view of the Bible, Christ, God, humanity, and sin and salvation. A final chapter encourages Christians to look to the Lord and not to psychics, with a special warning against those claiming affiliation with Christianity.
The Truth Behind Ghosts, Mediums & Psychic Phenomena provides important reading for Christians, and makes a useful reference book for your Bible study bookshelf. A timely dissertation, this volume clearly and succinctly presents a large amount of important information. With its opening examples of people seeking psychic help, Rhodes will catch the interest of and help those who lean towards the occult. Author of the book Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics, and president of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries, Ron Rhodes brings much expertise to this subject. He takes research very seriously, referring to it throughout this volume, and listing it in a closing section of text notes. - Donna Eggett, Christian Book [...]

Excellent Resource!
19 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
As a fan of Ron Rhode's succinct yet in-depth analysis on a variety of topics, I was thrilled to see this book. It is an eye-opening look into a spiritual hunger that each of us possess and one that more and more of our teens are tapping into.
In this book, Ron Rhodes lays out a framework for the thoughtful reader to discover Biblical truths on their own. He spans a number of topics in an easy to read and very clear manner; opening your eyes to the allure of supernatural encounters. His treatment of the subject matter and analysis of a number of highly popular public figures in the Psychic world is fair and NOT done in a condescending tone. He cites a number of references allowing people to go deeper in their understanding. I appreciated the Biblical references throughout. It is a well-researched book; one that will enlighten and challenge your thinking about the supernatural and any views you may have held previously.
