Shifting Shadows of Supernatural Experiences: A Manual to Experiencing God

This book is good for those who are interested in experiencing God. I have been having supernatural experiences my whole life (I'm 43) and I wished I had this book when I was younger. It would have given me sound biblical counsel and let me know that I was not mentally unbalanced which I thought I was for many years. When I was little I remember hearing adults talk about special padded rooms and hospitals for those who saw things and heard things that no one else did. So I ran from my "gift" and did not understand it more fully until I became a follower of Jesus. James Goll is a very good teacher. I first read his stuff back in 1988 or 89 and it gave me a much stronger foundation. His wisdom in knowing how to see beneath the surface to the root of an issue and understand it is remarkable and it much needed today. Julia Loren's chapters are great. Her research gives you several books in one chapter. Sometimes I felt like I read half a dozen books in one chapter. I discovered some new people and found them myself online which has increased and validated my own experiences. This book is one I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking real spiritual experiences with God.

This book is a huge blessing to the growth of the body of Christ. I think it is a great "initiation" for those who are just beginning to hear testimonies of supernatural Christian experiences on TV or even in church meetings, and who sense a drawing in their hearts to know if this REALLY can happen to "ordinary" people. And it's a great resource for those looking for even more courage to reach for the "higher depths" being offered by heaven now. In other words, I found this book to be down right reassuring! It was wisdom to begin with child testimonies. That's so convincing and "false doctrine-shattering". And Julia's own story of God moving into her home is so appealing. The way she puts it, who wouldn't want to experience this? Makes me want to be one of those crazy mystics! I loved the research she included. It is powerful evidence. And so many of her phrases cause my heart to soar, such as, "The shifting shadows of doubt and unbelief are blown away by the kiss of God." "When His Presence manifests more fully, no one will be lost in darkness or stand gazing at supernatural signs. Instead, they will be on their faces in worship and burning with love---". How many people have asked "What good is this sitting in God's presence and visions and meditating on scripture?" This book reveals Heaven's purposes. Jim's lists, facts and categories make the book a great reference manual. But Julia's creativity and often poetic phrases and pictures make us want to "go there" with God. She has certainly stirred my heart to find more time to sit with the Lord in heavenly places---or wherever He wants to take me. I'm praying that He shines a huge spotlight on this book, because the church needs to read it and let it draw them into the intimacy of His eternal realm.

Wow! A great book from two great authors! We all know we need Jesus but do we realize how much we need the Holy Spirit as well? This book will share with you real life experiences and modern day testimonies.

This book talks about how God gives us spiritual experiences so we may know Jesus Christ in a real and powerful way. He wants to heal our wounds and hurts. We are to come like little children. He has so much more for us to experience. Highly recommend this book to those who want a real expereince into the supernatural and want to be used by God to demonstrated His power through them. God wants to touch all of his children.
