DAVID HUNT/OCCULT INVASION

I could not find Mr. Garcia’s Christian News excerpt anywhere on the Internet, but I did find the following regarding the book he quoted. I could not find a site that had the page in question where I could read it, so I will go to Barnes & Noble before the Legislature goes back in session on Monday, purchase the book, and type in the ENTIRE quote (no ellipses) so that everyone who is interested can have the whole story/quote to base their choice to be for or against the legislation.

Dave Hunt, Occult Invasion, Harvest House Publishers, Eugene, OR., 1998

From the back cover:

Occult beliefs march freely across America today powerfully influencing our children, our society, our government, and even our churches. The deadly impact of Satan’s dominion is seen in the rise of teen suicide, the increase in violence, and the immorality that pervades our society. Sharing the knowledge you need to protect your family from this invasion, noted cult expert Dave Hunt reveals——

Occult Invasion gives you the skills you need to recognize the subtle incursions of the occult and provides tools you can use to halt its destructive advance.
