The Paranormal Christian

Synopsis: Can a Christian be possessed? Do God's angels and Satan's demons dwell unseen among us, engaged in spiritual warfare? Are ghosts and spirit manifestations real? How about aliens and UFOs?

If you believe in the Bible, you already have faith in the unseen. Unusual experiences are a testimony of sacred Scripture and the gateway to understanding the power of God in your life. Just like in biblical times, mysterious forces are still at work today. The paranormal world isn't merely scary hauntings and occult legends.

With the publication of "The Paranormal Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Unusual Experiences and the Biblical Worldview", journalist Richard D. Lewis explores his own true spiritual journey and real stories of others to correlate supernatural phenomena and the biblical worldview-without compromising either.

"The Paranormal Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Unusual Experiences and the Biblical Worldview" includes: How to trust your intuition and consciously tune into The Voice every day; A mystical examination of the Bible and the history of paranormal and psychic phenomena and prophecy within Christianity; A guide to discerning between the presence of positive and negative entities; True stories of hauntings, spiritual healing and miracles performed by the Holy Spirit; How to protect yourself against the horror of The Swarming - even in your most vulnerable state.

You can believe in the Holy Bible as the word of God orchestrated by divine intention and trust the wisdom of the supernatural worldview of the Bible writers and the fact that the mystical never left us. It's time to bring paranormal back into the light where it belongs. If you are searching out real answers for the Christian church and community, you will find them in the pages of "The Paranormal Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Unusual Experiences and the Biblical Worldview".

Critique: Of special appeal to readers with an interest in metaphysical Christianity, prophecies, angels and demons, science and religion, "The Paranormal Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Unusual Experiences and the Biblical Worldview" is a unique and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, seminary, and academic library Paranormal Christianity collections. It should be noted that "The Paranormal Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Unusual Experiences and the Biblical Worldview" is also available for personal reading lists in a digital book format (Kindle, $7.00).

Editorial Note: Richard D. Lewis is an author, journalist, and veteran of the U.S. Air Force, where he began his career in broadcasting. Creator of the award-winning Pentagon Channel TV news magazine Air Force Space Today, he has won multiple Telly and Thomas Jefferson Awards.
