Overview

For years, Sharon Beekmann was a spiritualist, channeling the dead for friends and others. Then she saw the light. Popular culture depicts larger-then-life supernatural beings who mesmerize, dominate, and sometimes destroy humanity. The dead visit the living and foretell future events. Even Christians can be swayed by their depictions. In Angels, Demons and the Dead, Beekmann answers questions like Can we still speak to the dead? Does God still send angels to minister to his people? How can we know the difference between angels and demons? What is discernment and why is it important? Building on a solid foundation on Scripture, she offers a method to test the source of these mysterious beings. Most important, however, we don't need to fear spirits. The Lord himself created and rules over them and wants us to discern whether or not they come from him. He has given us his Word and his Spirit to teach us everything we need to know. Book 3 in the Christian Discernment Series.

Sharon Beekmann shows again in this little book that she is as biblically grounded as anyone in talking about these controversial but crucial topics. In a day and age when far too many people trust their feelings, hunches or intuitions above God's Word, especially when it comes to the overtly supernatural, Beekmann's work is a welcome breath of fresh air, while remaining practical and relevant. --Craig L. Blomberg Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary Most works on Angels and Demons veer off into one of two ditches. Either, they are fueled with speculation and projection with little to no scriptural grounding or they come across cold and clinical. This book avoids both by combining the faithful study of scripture with real life illustrations that keep the reader engaged and grounded. --Billy Waters Lead Pastor, Wellspring Englewood Anglican Church in North America In her new book, Angels, Demons, and the Dead, Rev. Sharon Beekmann weaves together biblical theology and truth, real life experiences, and practical applications. Each chapter is built around an illustrative experience which is then contrasted and compared to biblical teaching. Her insights and explanation of the subject matter prepare the reader to answer the discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The book is a valuable resource for churches, small groups, and personal study. A good read for a culture that tends to misunderstand biblical teaching on subject of angels, demons, and the dead. --Rev. Marc Huebl Stated Clerk Presbytery of the West Evangelical Presbyterian Church Not everyone is troubled by visitors from the spiritual realm be they angels, demons, or the dead. Many don't understand what such visitations might mean. Sharon Beekmann's experience, real life stories, and biblical insights will help sort some of this out sensibly and compassionately. --Rev. Dr. Peter G. Bolt Academic Dean, Sydney College of Divinity In 1 John 4:1 we are told not to believe every spirit but to test the spirits to see whether they are from God. Because of her significant experience, both in the world before her conversion and since her encounter with Christ, Sharon has accumulated a deep understanding of the spiritual world. She clearly puts forward that the most important discernment in dealing with the spiritual world is the solid grounding in the Word of God. Our experience, absent the Word of God, is delusional at best, and destructively dangerous at worst. Through careful exposition of Scripture Sharon leads us into greater discernment. I heartily recommend this book to you. --Rev Dr William Enns Pastor Coach and Church Consultant Misinformation about angels, demons, and the dead is rampant. Sharon Beekmann offers trustworthy wisdom that is based on the sturdy foundation of Scripture rather than popular culture, opinion, or wishful thinking. While I try to avoid giving Satan and the powers of darkness any more attention than necessary, every believer needs the message of Angels, Demons, and the Dead to discern the times. Do people become angels when they die? Do ghosts exist? Can Satan read my thoughts? Read and learn! --Michael J. Klassen, M.Div. President, Illumify Media Global and Former Pastor
