I predicted this excellent book would be attacked, just as it is
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I understand if this book is offensive to some members of the Pagan community. It draws a line in the sand and minces no words in explaining the powerful, invisible forces that have have been, since the beginning of time, seeking to mislead the human race. I for one treasure the value of its research including the phenomenal connection between each plague of the Biblical Exodus and ancient mythology. Incredible!
A Most Intriguing Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I found the book to be very readable, then compelling and finally convincing. The intriguing survey of "How the plagues of Exodus illustrate(d) God's supremacy over and His attitudes toward Egyptian idolatry and paganism" offers a wealth of understanding and hope from which Christians can draw strength and wisdom when confronted with the wave of paganism sweeping our culture. I believe the book offers a timely message (caution, shield of protection), for the leadership of Churches enjoying great Revival; remembering "that there are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ....For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 22 Cor 11:13, 14. [emphasis mine] The book is well researched, punctuated appropriately with relevant testimonies and rooted in Scripture. One cannot read to the conclusion without discovering a fresh sense of courage and appreciation for the Hope we have in Christ Jesus.
An Excellent Treatise of Ancient and Modern-day False Gods
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
As a researcher of the UFO phenomenon, the Occult, and the paranormal, I found 'The Gods Who Walk Among Us' to be a thorough and accurate in-depth treatment of the ancient Egyptian and Greek mythological deities. The authors, Thomas Horn and Dr. Donald C. Jones, first take the reader on an historical journey where they unmask the sly activities of the gods of antiquity from Aphrodite to Zeus. Then, as the book concludes, they make a remarkable parallel to the numerous contacts with UFO entities and spirit beings so popular in today's rapidly advancing New Age movement. This book is timely, relevant, and addresses the sinister motives of otherworldly beings who have always existed in the supernatural realm that surrounds us.
Very, very good!

The Gods That Walk Among Us is a compelling analysis of the mystical resurrection of ancient pagan gods masquerading as heralds of a New Age. Thomas Horn and Donal Jones write with a nonreactionary, journalistic flair that is both informative and very personable as they walk with the reader from the shrines of ancient pagans to the alternative altars of the pagans of the New Age. The Gods That Walk Among Us is an excellent, provocative and, in many ways, unique expose' of New Age mysticism. Horn and Jones do not hesitate to warn the church of the all-too-often error of "emphasing experiences over doctrine," because they [the Church] are not immuned or sheltered from the mysticism of the New Age. Indeed, because "The line between a true manifestation of God, and human orchestration, is often blurred," many churches have come under the seductive spells of neo-pagan spirituality
