The Kingdom of the Occult has now hit #1 in the Bestsellers/Occult section of Amazon--followed by The Kingdom of the Cults at #2! It changes hourly, but we have been in the top 10 consistently over the last few weeks. God is good. :)

Just an update . . . things went great on Janet Parshall's show. Two hours flew by and the response was so overwhelming Janet invited me back for another two hour show. She is a remarkable host--very knowledgable and compassionate.

There is so much hunger out there to talk about the power of God vs. the power of the occult--people have questions and experiences they need to share. I feel honored to speak to everyone who calls in. It really is a humbling thing when someone takes time out of his or her busy schedule to talk to you. One lady had just dealt with a 5.7 earthquake that morning in Anchorage, Alaska and still she had to pick up the phone and call in. I truly hope this book changes people's lives the way it changed mine when I was working on it.

Good news! I will be on Janet Parshall's Talking It Over for two hours today (11am - 1pm Central). They will be giving away ten books during this time, so if you happen to tune in, call and say "hello".

Janet Parshall's America went very well yesterday. We talked about all kinds of topics from Oprah to Ouija Boards--the hour went by very quickly. One odd thing happened in the middle of the program, though. Janet asked me to tell the story of my experience with a Ouija Board, and I told the entire thing (at least three minutes worth) only to find out no one was listening! That was a first. :) The producer called back to tell me they had audio problems--very weird--but hey, when you're talking about the occult, anything can happen.

I will be on Janet Parshall's show again January 24, so it will give me another chance to correct a mistake I made too (yes, unfortunately, I am human). We were just closing my segment of the program when someone called to ask about UFOs. During the writing of KOTO, I researched quite a bit about Satan's power, based on what I read in the Bible, of course. As I was trying to quickly explain why I thought some UFOs could be Satan using his power to transmute matter, Janet asked me, "Is that in the Bible?" (that Satan has the power to transform and or shape/create matter). I should have said, "YES! And gone directly to the Bible verse in Exodus 7:8-12:

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron , "When Pharaoh says to you, 'Perform a miracle,' then say to Aaron , 'Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,' and it will become a snake."

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.

But my mind blanked out and I could not remember a single example. Ahhh! Stress and Advil the night before (that stuff will short out your brain).

Oh well . . . tomorrow is another day.

The Kingdom of the Occult is doing well, and I am very happy about it but--honestly--not surprised. I knew God's hand was in this from the beginning, and when He wants you to do something, He works out all the details. (Proverbs 16:3)

Today--3:00 p.m. Eastern I will be a guest on Janet Parshall's America. I'm looking forward to talking to Janet again--it's always interesting. :) You can listen here:

Lately, the lines have been "exploding" (to use a host's words) when they ask people to call in--so I am delighted--but it can get a bit tense at times never knowing who will be calling or what they will be asking. I'm so very happy for the opportunity to talk to everyone, though, even if they're not happy with me. :) God is good.

Thanks for your prayers!
