But "Spiritual Warfare," by Karl Payne, a distinguished pastor and academic, has rave reviews from readers across the U.S. Payne's approach to demonization doesn't come from book learning. It is based on working with hundreds of people tormented by spiritual oppression. He believes he has developed, working with others with even more experience in the area, some key techniques that all-too-few clergy and lay people understand. "I personally believe that demonic deception is increasing, even within the Christian church, and that the worst of this deception is still to come," Payne asserts. "If God allows demonic activity to increase until His return, I believe He will also train up and equip a growing number of His children to faithfully and effectively contend with the powers of darkness who oppose His plans and people. Too many North American churches are well on their way to becoming the same spiritually dead museums as Western European churches." Not only has he worked in the area of demonization for the last 25 years, but Payne serves as pastor of leadership development at Antioch Bible College, is the founder of Transferrable Cross Training Foundation and is the chaplain for the Seattle Seahawks. He received his Masters of Divinity and Doctorate of Ministry from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.  Here's what readers are saying about "Spiritual Warfare": •  "Dr. Payne's 'Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization and Deliverance' will help anybody who doubts that they are under a spiritual attack. I always knew there was spiritual warfare but did not understand it. He put it all in perspective and helped me defeat it!" •  "I have read a number of books on spiritual warfare that fall short on relevance and application, but I am pleased to say this one is on the mark, a must buy. It is an easy but engaging read that rings true with life. This book will turn on some lights and vital insights or how get out of being beat up but to fight the good fight. Dr. Payne not only knows what he writes and speaks about but he lives it out every day." •  "Dr. Karl Payne's book, 'Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization and Deliverance,' is one of the most powerful, truthful and effective tools a Christian needs within his/her personal library. I purchased this book hoping to learn from Dr. Payne, about the concept and reality of spiritual warfare. I have faced much of what others describe within the book and now, I feel I have an in-depth grasp of how to combat the battles of the world, the flesh and the devil. Upon first receiving the book in the mail, I meant to start slow and progress through the book in pieces, yet the next thing I knew I was past page 50, engrossed by the reality of spiritual warfare and excited for the lessons described by Dr. Payne, who is quick to remind readers, Jesus Christ has won the war and has given Christians the necessary tools to live a life of victory while here on earth. Dr. Payne deserves to be more than commended for sharing his voluminous insight with readers about this very overlooked topic. Do yourself and those you love a favor, purchase this book and some for loved ones, to become better equipped for the unseen warfare that hinders Christians from living the life Jesus has called us to live." •  "I was given this very helpful biblically based book after a confusing experience I had with a friend who I knew to be a true believer in Christ. I had always been told that believers can only be oppressed by evil, but never possessed. Yet this friend was experiencing something beyond oppression. She was being tormented by evil that would not permit her to read her Bible, nor even hear other believers when we would pray with her. She was crying out for help as she was slowly being destroyed, but I didn't know how to help her. Some would say she was crazy and needed mental health care, but I knew this friend very well and that was not the case. Others would say she must not be a true believer, but again I knew from years of close friendship as prayer partners that also was not true. Karl Payne explains very clearly exactly what this friend was experiencing, a level of demonic attack that he calls "demonization". He explains that demonization is different than oppression and possession. From his many encounters with true believers that have suffered from demonization, Dr. Payne exposes the tactics that demons use to try to destroy Christians. He goes beyond describing to explaining step by step how we can help those who are experiencing this kind of attack. His approach is Biblical and supported every step of the way by scripture. I believe that every Christian needs to be wise regarding the schemes of our enemy, and I am encouraging every believer I know to read this book. Thank you Karl Payne for your willingness to speak out on this often unpopular and usually misunderstood topic with sound Biblical wisdom.""Spiritual Warfare" is published by WND Books.   Joseph Farah, the founder and chief executive officer of WND and WND Books, says he gives copies away to people all the time when he hears about cases of spiritual oppression and demonization.
