Book Description
Pastor John Wilson has quite an agenda set for the small desert town of Liberty. He hopes to assert his influence on the local public school district. He desires to change the way a local tradition, the Goat–Roping Contest, is celebrated. He also wants to keep the local desert safe from terrorists in search of uranium and so he organizes parishioners to keep a vigilant watch for suspicious activity. The good pastor’s ambitions could impact the lives of even those outside of his flock if he has his way.

Book Description
Demonic forces often invade our homes openly and brazenly. Other times, they may have resided with us for years-we just didn't notice them. But their means of arrival matters less than the threat they pose to our homes and those we love. Possessions, attitudes and behaviors can all forge a stronghold for Satan to take over your home! For example, a dust-covered novel based on a horrifying account could be the seed of spiritual death for an innocent reader. In six short chapters, this book provides the examples, explanations, causes and cures you need to purify your home and keep your own spiritual life intact and growing. If you really want to be delivered from evil, put Spiritual House Cleaning to work! ... Read more

Is it time to clean house?
Spiritual Housecleaning was definitely better then I thought it would be. It seems that books about spiritual warfare and the demonic can cause fear, and also get you to start looking for a demon under every bush. I, however, felt that the Smith's took a very balanced approach to looking at ways to purify our homes, and lives. They even say throughout their book to "seek the Lord's guidance" on what action you need to take in the purification process. They also talk about becoming too superstitious. "If Satan can't convince us to keep things that defile our lives, he will provoke us to legalism and superstition. In either case be wise." Of course from a theological point of view, I'm sure some will strongly disagree with the Smith's book. Even for myself, I disagreed with how they were using some Scriptures to make points. At the very least though, there were elements of truth no matter how I interpreted things. One point they made that I thought was good was that objects in the world are neither good nor evil, but rather how they are used and thought of that gives them a spiritual significance. The Smiths list several objects that might be in one's home that could possibly hold a negative spiritual significance, and should be prayerfully considered for going into the nearest trash can. Another point that I thought was good was to consider how your own attitudes, behaviors etc. affect those in your own household. Do they bring peace, hope and joy to those around you, or fear and anger? The Smiths go into detail about the this, and how to "clean the atmosphere".

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone. Just try to keep an open mind, and pray about what they say. Who knows it might bring a little more peace to your home and life.

Why can't there be a 'less than 1 star' rating??
I'm certainly not going to imply that objects don't hold some sort of 'finger print' (for lack of a better word) but unfortunately, it seems to me, these folks are a little 'out there'.....

Evil is real, very real - but *I* don't think this book is an end all to combatting it. I'd prefer prayer & a Bible anyday.

The contents of both the book & (*I* feel) the authors are about as equally as dark as the cover.

Very disappointing read.....consider any other similar book, but my advice is don't spend your money here....YMMV....

Not a Good Source of Accurate Information
I have a copy of this book and have read and re-read it.It has taken something that is true and stretched it out of proportion.

While it is true that there are objects that bring demonic oppression and invite demonic activity,it is usually easy for a Christian to cast unwanted demons out by pleading the blood of Jesus and taking authority over them.

This book makes it very difficult to get away from the demonic since it lists all types of things that it assumes are cursed like Harry Potter.I highly doubt Harry Potter is a tool of the devil;he's got plenty of much better tools to work with like ouija boards and movies along the lines of Hell Raiser.

While I will agree with some of what the book says, most is not even close to being true.

they don't understand discarnates
A much better reference would be Dr William Baldwin's book.His techniques of spirit releasement can clean a house much better.

Clueless people shouldn't comment.

Christians clueless as to the meaning of yoga or the background and philosophy of what they call "hinduism" should refrain from posting their silly comments here. If you have never bothered to study the ancient Indian scriptures that deal with the Lord or the process of yoga and what it is meant for, you have no place presenting your misunderstandings and speculations as truth. We don't do that with your Bible and Christian faith either, do we?

If you don't understand how or why the conclusion of ancient Indian philosophy is *monotheistic* and accepts only one supreme God, don't comment. If you don't understand that "yoga" means the same as the Latin "religare" (from which "religion" is derived), namely to *connect* with the Lord, and that the highest form of yoga is bhakti, or love for God, don't comment. If you don't understand that asanas aren't meant to worship "gods" and how they are part of an eightfold mechanical system to learn to control the mind and senses that is no longer recommended for this day and age, don't comment.

The goal of yoga is to re-awaken the dormant love for God that is integral to every soul, to "love the Lord with all thy heart and soul."

Among the most important books I have read.
After reading "Antiquity Unveiled" by J. M. Roberts for the 7th time, I number it among the 10 most important books I have ever read - perhaps it is No. 1. I have been a seeker of Ancient Wisdom and Knowledgefor more than 50 years.This book clarifies for me the REAL TRUTH aboutthe Origins of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism as well asother religions and philosophies.As we enter the New Millennium, it willprovide an invaluable service to the ONE BILLION or more worshippers of anillusory allegory.As a small child of seven, I was deeply suspicious of theveracity of the Jesus story, and now I feel I KNOW that "Jesus"is "The Light of the World" - THE SUN, which was changed to"The SON" by The Church.We have all been in The DARK until thepublication of "ANTIQUITY UNVEILED".That Darkness has now beendissipated by the LIGHT of this book.I particularly like it because ratherthan just accept the channeled information received, Mr.Roberts then wenton to exhaustively invesigate the Truth of the allegation.Thank you, ProfRoberts, for ALL of Humanity! ...

Book Description
The virtuous pagans who appear in medieval English texts have often been analyzed for their theological significance, but Representing Righteous Heathens argues that such figures also functioned as an innovative resource for framing and thinking about questions of history, difference, and the uses of antiquity, as well as a flexible formal device for structuring a diverse array of vernacular literary fictions. In travel writing, dream visions, hagiographic narrative, chronicle-romances, and sermons, English writers explored the boundaries that divided them from the non-Christian world by making pagan figures speak for themselves in experiments that often strikingly anticipate our own modern critical and pedagogical uses of the Middle Ages. ...
