Book Review, posted on Amazon.com, of a pseudo-Christian volume called Ridding Your Home of Spiritual Darkness
 

(Author's) Book Description
Christians are often completely unaware of how the enemy has gained access to their homes through what they own. This practical, easy-to-read book can be used by any Christian to pray through their home and property in order to close the door to the enmy and experience richer spiritual life. Included are chapters on children, sin, generational curses, and spiritual discernment, as well as a step-by-step guide to praying through your home.

This book is a tragic commentary on the mind-set of too many Evangelical Christians. Promoted here-in is what might be called the "Fortress Mentality" - an insular, paranoid attitude that fixates on religious "purity." It fosters fear, paranoia, ignorance and the inability (or worse, the unwillingness) to think critically, rationally or logically, and it operates from the premise that to be a "True Christian," one is required to undergo the ruthless amputation of the intellect, the sense of humor and most particularly - the imagination.

What nonsense!

Purge your house of crystals, cats, comic books, video games, fantasy novels and anything at all representative of mythical creatures or pagan gods? Well, the Encyclopedia Britannica will have to go. And oh yes, that King James Bible mentions unicorns - better burn that, too.

Are you really so pathetically insecure in your faith as to harbor the fear that possessing a Harry Potter novel can invite demons in your front door? Okay, if you happen to be a recovering cult victim fleeing the wrath of your former coven members, by all means, set fire to the tarot deck, the pentagrams, the Ouija board and the scrying glass. But a born-again Christian with no ties to genuine occult practices has nothing whatsoever to fear from harmless fairy tales, nor from the presence of ceramic cats or decorative crystals. And Christians who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and the Person of Jesus Christ are not vulnerable to demon possession! (Matthew 8:29, I Corinthians 10:20-21, James 2:19.)

As to this book's absurd contention that all "books dealing with fantasy" should be consigned to the proverbial bonfire, one can only wonder how that proposal would have been received by such great Christian fantasy writers as John Milton, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, G.K. Chesterton or George MacDonald, or by modern Christian fantasists such as Katherine Kurtz, Stephen R. Lawhead or Tim Powers. They would likely be appalled. And very, very saddened.

The innate human aspects of intellect, humor and imaginative creativity are not demonic. They are God-given!

Please utilize the brain God gave you and do not follow this book's puerile, paranoid advice to purge these things from your life and home. You'll only be the poorer for it, and this world is far too poor a place already.
