Summary

As E. James Wilder explains, we are all part of a natural community made up of our families, friends, work and culture, as well as part of a spiritual community that revolves around God or Satan. When a person fails to receive proper love and support, the door is opened for cults and the occult to provide for those needs. This book shows how Christians have the power to affect both the natural and spiritual worlds.
