Summary: Ones Playbook against Satan
Review: I have read other reviews of this book and absolutely disagree. I reckon if a person is not even partially knowledgeable in their own right, then they surely could be duped by Joe Beam in this book. Beam is quick to speculate and make assumptions that he can not and does not support. By way of examples, in chapter 6, as a basis for some of his arguments, Beam claims that he believes that Satan was a guardian in the garden of Eden, but he does not (and can not) offer proof (read Gen 3). Yet, Beam builds from there. And we all no what happens to a house built on a bad foundation.In chapter 9, Beam states 7 "points" which he says combine to "present a strong argument for demons being the souls of the dead." Whether he is correct that demons are from the souls of the dead, which is not supported in scripture, the 7 "points" do not come close to his topic, let alone proving it. Beam uses some scripture references and either misapplies them or he draws wrong conclusions and ultimately mis-understands the easily understandable message of scripture. This could be by his using the NIV, This book could seriously get the unlearned in trouble. While Beam may be correct about the existence of spirits in the present day, he is teaching a whole lot of wrong doctrine. Beam evidently sold out his books and has made a few house payments, but if that caused the loss of a few peoples souls, then the cost was too high. (posting date - Dec 12, 2000)

Summary: Spiritual Warfare Boot Camp
Review: I read this book for a class at our congregation and I was not able to put it down. This book helped me to see what are some of the forces behind the scenes. It is the book that started my boot camp training for the spiritual warfare that I am helping my congregation to get in on. I would recommmend this book to anyone that wants or needs to know the "why" behind some of the things that happen in our lives. I also know that this is a great book to start off with for a spiritual warfare class, prayer class, etc. This book will help to build spiritual warriors in any congregation.

Summary: You had better be sitting down!
Review: I used this book in a home bible study a few years back. The authors interpretation and consistant use of scripture keeps you grounded in God's word and not in man's opinion. What a blessing givin the number of "this is what I think" books on the shelves these days. No country goes into battle without first studying the tactics and history of their opponent. To not prepare with this information would be utter foolishness. "Seeing The Unseen" helps you to understand and prepare for the battle which every christian will engage in from the point of salvation untill God calls them home. This study can open up the eyes of the un-believer as well to the spiritual realm which envelopes us all. God is supernatural, as is His entire realm. We are sheltered here on earth in a natural state, blocked from the perception and understanding of the supernatural that scripture talks about. I encourage every christian to pick this one up. Learn what God, Jesus and the writers of the bible have told us about the lies and connivings of Satan and how he desires to make us "useless soldiers" in God's kingdom. Grab your bible, sit down and get comfortable, and read. You won't want to get up untill your done!

Summary: Must Have It.
Review: Joe's book is a must have. It's that simple. Satan is not passive; rather, he's agressively stalking us. Seeing the Unseen compiles Scriptural insights as to how Satan works to trap and kill us. It also provides Scriptural means for "resisting the devil" so that "he will flee from us."
