The Red Dragon Cast Down: A Redemptive Approach to the Occult and Satanism

Rating:
Summary: Thoughtful, scholarly, and well written antidote for evil
Review: Dr. Jim Wilder writes as both a licensed psychologist and ordained minister. He is a keen thinker whose compassionate commitment to Truth leads him to examine the world-view of the occult and Satanism in the context of what a caring community of Christians should be. While exposing reality, he is not one to stir up hate; rather he seeks to provide a healthy antidote rooted in love--based on a redemptive approach. In a day of instant everything he has obviously spent many years giving substance to an approach that needs to be widely read and widely practiced. A must read for thoughtful Christians who sense the dangers of American individualism and the need for a Christian community that incorporates healthy family connection for all who seek redemptive relationships--which rightly include those survivors deeply wounded by the Red Dragon and his allies. The author is to be commended and his book highly recommended. Tom R. Hawkins, Ph.D. Restoration in Christ Ministries

Summary: WRONG-O!!!
Review: Dr. Wilder has done a masterful job of providing a great deal of information about a very difficult subject, in a manner that not only educates, but also motivates action. There is a wealth of specific "how to" information, with appropriate scholarly documentation. Dr. Wilder's writing style is appealing, without resorting to gimmicks. The reader is rewarded with great information in an easy to read format. This book is the best treatment of this subject I have ever read!

Summary: castles made of sand,,christianity is dead.
Review: i actually think christ had some good ideas when he was alive,,too bad that over the centuries everything got warped into a system to control large populations in social systems. however what aggrivates me the most is people like the author of this book taking advantage of societies neurotic programming to make a buck. Most unfortunatly, in cases of alleged satanic abuse, it is usually the patients own fantasies that the shrink who works in this particular field enforce with religious zeal. Another reviewer mentioned "religious warfare" now isn't that a contradiction to the teachings of christ? I think enough blood has been shed by the church over centuries, assurredly more than any suppossed satanic ritual murder. most of the publicised satanic abuse/murder stories are about people trying to get a lessend sentence by saying: "The Devil made me do it!" Balderdash! The devil was created by the church! now there are evil and good forces/entities in this reality,,this metaphor of life, duality. But, is there a difference in the end? could we stop looking at things as black or white, good or bad,, and just say that everything apears to BE. this book takes advantage of disturbed people,,it was created to disturb people and make them devoted to a struggeling ideology. ever met a satanist? you could probably trust them better as babysitters for your kids as the local Pastor! any crimes supposedly connected to satanists are vauge in the media, however Reverend child molesters are a fact! so get off the warhorses and let people be,,don't try to scare them into submission to an ideology that is humanly impossible to uphold! Or sell them the line "you can sin your whole life and ask JESUS for forgiveness and go to heaven!" do you really think it would be fun to strum a harp for eternity? and wouldn't you get bored of burning in hell? I think other possibilities exist after death, the great architec of the universe is ever evolving and learning, wish the human race would learn to as well. thumbs down on the book,,,,the ideology,,the abuse of peoples psyche, organized religion, wars, and any second party salesman. you want god,,look for god in yourself, you want satan look inside yourself,,they are both there and both nessessary parts of your mind. positive and negative. you can't destroy one or the other,,you need to accept them and balance yourself. this book just unbalances already troubled minds. shame on you for writing it and taking advantage of people! and you are supposed to be a doctor? I pity your patients and the money they spend on you for this type of treatment. Do you use hypnosis to plant these memories of satanic abuse? That is what most of your kind do. live in a glass house? if yu are experiencing mental problems (and don't worry society breeds them) go to a non religious psychiatrist for help, don't make yourself sicker by buying into the junk written in this book.

Summary: Jim's book is loaded with both practical & encouraging help
Review: I'm Director of Counsellor Training for Elijah House Canada and highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with severe abuse. There is information about love bonds, fear bonds, weak bonds. There is invaluable information about identity building and repair. Chapter 8's section on 20 Guidelines for Trauma Teams is worth the price of the book alone. Counselors, anyone hearing people talk about their severe abuse needs to know how to detox. See chapter 8.

Summary: A timely word for the Church today dealing with evil
Review: Thank you Jim Wilder for providing us with the truth about Satanism in the world today. You have provided an easy to follow guide for redemption and restoration for those who have been victimized by the evil practices of the Occult. It is time we (the Church) take our heads out of the sand and see this world for what it is. Red dragon Cast Down has taken the mystery out of the dark evil of the occult and revealed it for what it is. I have found this work very helpful for me as a minister to Santanic Abuse Victims. This is especially true for the ministery to the total person as opposed to just healing of the memories. I encourage everyone who is working with victims at any level to read this book and open your eyes to what God is seeking to do in setting the captive free.
