Occult Bondage and Deliverance: Counseling the Occultly Oppressed

This book provided invaluable, well written, concise information on the occultly influenced individual. I have done quite a bit of reading on this subject, but I found this to be very enlightening and helpful. I learned much more than I bargained for and was surprised at some of Dr. Koch's conclusions. This challenged many of the beliefs I have held about Christians being occultly posessed. A must read for any Christian who has ever felt intimidated by questionable circumstances and individuals who might be oppressed or posessed. This would also be a great resource for any church library.

This book is written by one of the pioneers in this modern age helping people get free from demonic bondage only through Christ. (a second part of the book which I hardly read is written from the medical perspective by a Christian MD. I thought other writer's stance was too carnal to be very useful in this area of ministry. He made such an error on the first page of his part of the book that I am very leery of his part of the book, but Dr. Koch's (Theology) writings were great. Very effective, useful information building on the theme of faith in and reliance on Christ being the only way of freedom out of bondage to demons. His tone is compassionate and he writes concisely and powerfully and his exhortations have helped me to stay free, after being delivered by Christ from many kinds of occult bondage. He teaches that even Christians can have problems with demons due to any involvement, knowing or unknowingly, in the occult, and shows clearly, step by step using scripture how to get free.

This is an essential book of discernment and training. One must learn the difference between mental illness and possesion. Too many mistakes have been and coninue to be made in this area due to untrained individuls. Get this book, if you are walking in this realm of spritual bondage.
