True to His Ways2006

This comprehensive and extensively researched book examines Charismatic Christian spiritual experiences (slain in the spirit, spiritual drunkenness, Holy Spirit manifestations, etc) and shows how they exactly duplicate those of other religions such as kundalini yoga and mystic sufism. It then defines what is meant by "occult" and shows that these practices are in fact occult, being the practices of the nations. They are therefore forbidden by the Bible, and cannot correctly be called "Christian". It also compares the teaching of Charismatic Churches regarding such things as the pursuit of prophetic ability (divination) and the opening of "spiritual eyes" (the "third eye" in Eastern religions) to the teachings of yoga, Shamanism, etc., and shows that they are the same things going by different names.
