Defeating Dark Angels includes firsthand accounts of demonic activity in the lives of "ordinary" people, giving readers a biblical understanding of why and how dark forces come against God's people. Dr. Kraft approaches this often-sensationalized topic with a unique mix of scholarly research and practicality, coaching readers to address underlying emotional and mental problems with clinical therapy and pastoral counseling. This is the practical and spiritual help readers need to defeat dark angels in their own lives and to minister God's freedom and healing to others. Demonic oppression is a reality, but it is not always the only problem.

The position of human beings as the crown of God's creation enrages the enemy, who does everything in his power to prevent us from seeing our worth in God's eyes.

"The only kind of Christianity in the New Testament is Christianity with power."If you are skeptical about--yet intrigued by--the issue of spiritual power for today, Charles Kraft provides a biblical, reasonable apologetic for a realm too often overlooked. He describes his own paradigm shift concerning the power of Jesus to heal and free others, and explains persuasively why every Christian should be confronted with this "missing dimension." Confronting Powerless Christianity will inspire a more robust faith that is powerful enough to heal, to free people from emotional wounds and to bring about real life change.

A poor self-image. Chronic depression. A bitter divorce. The trauma of sexual abuse. Why do some wounds fester and refuse to heal, even after we seek help from those who specialize in treating deep emotional pain? Kraft believes that in order to experience real and lasting freedom from a painful past, we must understand the powerful link between spiritual warfare and inner healing. It is only when we recognize and reject the enemy's influence on our most hurtful memories that we can receive complete restoration in mind, heart, and spirit. Deep Wounds, Deep Healing is a complete guide to deep-level healing. Whether readers are seeking restoration for themselves or for those under their care, this book will enable them to recognize the spiritual roots of emotional wounds and invite God's presence into those darkest of places. His power is the hope of freedom and inner healing.

Healing and Freedom Are Just Two Hours AwayMany Christians believe that once we are saved, past wounds, hurts and even consequences from mistakes get swept away. Yet what happens if we continue to be plagued with spiritual and emotional problems, and the intimacy we long for with Christ seems elusive?What we need, says inner healing expert Charles H. Kraft, is deep-level healing: healing for our whole person--spirit, body, mind, emotions and will. Using a simple, proven process, refined through 25 years of successful ministry, Kraft leads readers step by step through deep-level healing.Once you experience true freedom, you will find the intimacy with Jesus that you desire, and you'll be equipped to help others find this freedom as well.

In this revision of a long-enduring classic, Kraft draws upon faith experience and the social sciences to make pastors, preachers, missionaries, and religious educators aware of the mystery of human communication in the service of God who calls all into communion.

How to we recognize the gaps--of language, tradition, life experience--that separate us and build bridges over them.
