| Preface (Why this book?): I have been a born-again Christian for about three years as of the time of the writing of this book. I came from a rather dark spiritual background prior to becoming Christian. As such my personal experiences led me to look for answers about the evil side of the supernatural. I have noticed that there is no concise complete guide for Christians on the subject of the evil side of the supernatural. It is my view that even the best books available are incomplete or inaccurate. Much good information is to be found on the internet, but unfortunately it is scattered in bits and pieces here and there, and any one webpage will often contain many errors along with truth. It is my belief that I have a good understanding of these subjects. I have done much research and brainstorming to try to understand my own past evil supernatural experiences, and to understand the history and origins of evil. I wish there had been a guide for me to read when I became Christian on these subjects, something that would explain both the history and powers of evil, as well as information on spiritual warfare methods. There was no such complete guide, which is why I am now writing one. This book takes a Young Earth perspective on Genesis, for reasons why see the appendix (basically I think that’s what God wanted), and generally takes the position of inerrancy of the original God-breathed Holy scriptures. I believe this book is something God wants me to do, for the sake of educating and helping the church. All information presented herein I believe is true to the best of my knowledge at the time of this writing; I have tried my best. Still I encourage you, and ask you the reader, to prayerfully ask for discernment in reading, because we all make mistakes, and I know James 3:1 “Let not many {of you} become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.” So please pray for discernment in reading, so I may be judged less severely for whatever might be my mistakes herein, and you will surely benefit more from your reading. For in James it also says “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.” So, please pray and ask God to give you wisdom about this material as you read this book. It is my hope that despite this book being full of such evil, dark, and hate-filled subject matter, that it will be used by you, the reader, as a tool to spread Light, Good, and Love. This book is dedicated to the Lord Jesus the Christ.
