About:
‘Jeff Harshbarger nearly lost his life to Satanism. After two unsuccessful suicide attempts and an offer to become a human sacrifice at Halloween, Jeff left his life of Satanism to pursue a life with God. Jeff, David Berkowitz (“Son of Sam”), and other former occultists share their harrowing tales of escape and redemption.
Chapters from Dancing With the Devil include stories from a former Witch, Vampire, Spiritualist, Satanists and the formerly demon possessed.
Harshbarger felt compelled to write this book so Christians can have a clearer picture of the occult and how to minister to those in its grasp. “Reaching occultists isn’t as difficult as you may have been taught to believe,” Harshbarger writes. “After all, they are just people with needs and desires much like yours.”
The Book Contributors and Reader Reviews:
Laura with her copy
Nine authors (including myself ), Laura Maxwell, Vince McCann and the famous prisoner David Berkowitz – ‘Son of Sam’, were very honoured to contribute chapters to this 2nd book of Jeff’s.
Jeff, an author and evangelists in the USA, appeared on TV programs such as the 700 Club, USA. Vince from England, has an excellent YouTube channel. Laura from Scotland, has spoken on many radio stations and Revelation TV, which airs across Europe, USA and beyond.
Reviews from the authors and well known ministries:
“It may have been easy for occultists to throw out their occult paraphernalia and change their lifestyle, but it’s not always easy to walk away from the effects it leaves. This should surely be another deterrent for anyone tempted to dabble in the occult!” – Laura Maxwell.
“I was involved in the occult, and I got burned. I became a cruel killer and threw away my life and destroyed the lives of others. Now I have discovered that Christ is my answer and my hope. He has turned me from a path leading to eternal damnation in the lake of fire to the blessed assurance of eternal life in heaven. He can perform the same kind of transformation in anyone’s heart!” – David Berkowitz, ‘Son of Sam.’
Jeff
“As Christians who know the love of God, we need to help the occultist find what he truly seeks. Before I was born again, I encountered Christians who knew I was practicing Satanism yet never told me I was going to hell, condemned me, or came across with an attitude that said, “I’m right; you’re wrong.” They simply told me that Jesus loved me, and it was exactly that kindness from God that led me to repentance.” – Jeff Harshbarger.
Doug Harris, Revelation TV, Europe.
“The Occult in all its various disguises is causing havoc around the world. The need for good clear information both to explain to those caught up, what is going on and to help them overcome the various issues in their life, has never been more important than it is today. It is so easy to give advice to those needing help without really understanding what they are going through.
Enter Jeff Harshbarger, he is not just a talker, he has ‘been there’ and knows what others are going through. The last words in the book should be a message of hope to the thousands who are looking for a way out, “Now that we’ve talked to you about actually doing it, you have nine friends who are here to help you. Or if you are someone who has come out of the occult and you need someone to talk to who understands and cares. You can contact us….”
Read, understand and know there are compassionate people waiting to listen to your story and give practical help.” – Doug Harris, Author, Reachout Trust U.K. and Host at Revelation TV, Europe.
Rev. Kevin Logan
” ‘Dancing With The Devil’ deserves its sell-out status and its high-sales rankings. It highlights many practices and beliefs that have damaged a lot of people over many years. It is a great resource to have as we approach Halloween once again. ” October 2014 Rev. Kevin Logan, Revelation TV host and author of Paganism and The Occult.

“Dancing With The Devil will touch your heart with compassion for those caught in the world of the occult, and enrich your mind with the knowledge to help them. Jeff Harshbarger provides a fast-paced and fascinating look into the realm of the Prince of Darkness.” – Jill Martin Rische, author of The Kingdom Of The Occult.
“Jeff Harshbarger’s Dancing With The Devil is a helpful and needful book, because it is a unique approach to understanding occultism from a Christian point of view. Most evangelicals think of “the occult” as a vaguely defined but threatening realm of spiritual darkness and danger. Harshbarger has collected nine personal tales of occult involvement that bring clarity and detail to that murky image, and refine our abstract impressions of “occultism” into concrete discernments of its real dangers, and the real means of escaping from them. If you are dealing with occult-related issues – either in your own life or the lives of others – this book needs to be in your library.” – Brooks Alexander, author of Witchcraft Goes Mainstream and founder of Spiritual Counterfeits Project.

“One of the most difficult aspects of being a missionary to cults and false religious movements is the resentment they have for Christians who communicate false information about their beliefs. This is most true in the area of Satanism and the Occult. I have appreciated Jeff’s ministry and Dancing With The Devil is a helpful tool in educating Christians about the beliefs of those with these worldviews.” – L.L. (Don) Veinot Jr., President, Midwest Christian Outreach, Inc.

“Wicca is considered to be one of the fastest-growing religions in America, particularly among high school- and college-age women, a large majority of whom come from traditional church backgrounds.” – Kristine McGuire, author and Ex Wiccan.
“The last thing a demonic spirit wants is for an occultist to hear the gospel and allow the truth to set them free.” – Vince McCann, Author and Ex Occultist.

You have truly blessed our effort. I pray the book has informed & equipped you & has blessed you, as well. Also, I notice it’s almost sold out again, for the 3rd time on the UK Amazon.
