"Provocative, insightful, and enlightening--a foray into an often-neglected topic that merits more attention than it typically receives." --Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ What is Our Fascination with the Other Side? Join investigative reporter Billy Hallowell as he delves into the strange phenomena of supernatural activity. Themes of demonic possession, exorcism, and ghosts have overtaken Hollywood, with countless films and TV shows delving into the age-old struggle against evil. But the question is why? Even with so much focus on the topic, there seems to be very little public knowledge and discussion about the theology and real-life claims surrounding demons. Quite often, many people remain silent about their experiences or resort to quietly whispering about what they've seen, heard, or felt for fear of being labeled as crazy. The truth is, even pastors, priests, and clergy who have observed firsthand accounts of possession and deliverance can succumb to the strange and terrifying effects of intense spiritual warfare. For people of faith, Playing with Fire addresses these core questions: Are demons active today? If they do indeed exist, what are they? Fallen angels? Nephilim? Can demons inhabit human beings? According to the Bible, can people die and remain behind as "ghosts"? Playing with Fire explores the theological underpinnings surrounding the supernatural. Relying on firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, and Christian experts, Hallowell takes readers through the various views and perspectives surrounding supernatural activity.… (más)

If you take a moment, it's actually a hard question to answer, no matter where your religious faith lies. I mean, most have experienced that mysterious breeze when no source can be found. Many have felt that phantom touch, turned, and found no one there. Quite a few have even had moments themselves where they feel they have communicated with someone or something otherworldly or previously of our own...and some are rather well documented. These are the matters that this book delves into, in an everyday aspect, but with secular roots.

I can't say it was exactly what I thought it would be, as I suppose my own curiosity with those otherly things was peaked by the initial tease from this book, but it was an interesting read nonetheless. It shed light on some of those more well known cases, shared the behind-the-cloisters viewpoint of those that have had dealings with same said events, and took a closer look at the impact of these darker matters on our lives in general today.

So if you're looking to be spooked, don't...it's not about that. This is about where things got their starts, how we've handled it throughout recent years, and a potential way to move forward with our curious thoughts in tact, while saving adequate space in our souls for our true saviors.

Talk about a book being out of my usual wheelhouse! But that is what makes reading so enlightening. A book will intrigue and the reader is sent on an adventure they did not expect. Now, I am interested in things that cannot be explained so that is what called to me from the synopsis of this book. I will note that it is written from a Christian point of view using the Bible as a touchstone. I have a grounding in Catholocism but am an Atheist. This gives me the advantage of understanding the Biblical referances but not being a slave to dogma.

This is well researched look at various reports of demonic events and was a fascinating read. It’s not going to be for everyone but if you have an interest in the topic it will draw you in. Just understand that it is really focused on the Biblical view of demonic events and really doesn’t stray from that so the narrative is not as broad as it could be. An understanding of Christian religion helps in reading. ( )
