Do ghosts really exist and do paranormal events really occur? The answer to both of those questions is "Yes". Yet what most Christians believe about the causes and the way they react when they personally encounter the paranormal is incorrect. Most of their commonly held beliefs are based on the most popular theories put forth by the paranormal experts or on what they've been incorrectly taught by the most influential people in their lives. "Ghosts Busted " explores the paranormal through the teachings presented in the Bible. Join the short journey through the popular paranormal theories and the comparison to what Scripture teaches about the topic.

It should not take anything more than hearing what people say or watching what they do to figure out that there are some people who are not walking in the ways of the Word of God. Some of those people are members of other religions or do not follow any religion at all; others claim that they are Christians. It is the latter group of people who are being confused by what other people are telling them. The ways of the world are invading the lives of Christians and, unfortunately, the organized church. While these Christians complain about slowly losing their religious freedom, they do not even realize they are voluntarily giving in to the world by living by the ways of the world.Laying aside the usual debates about specific denominational doctrines and practices, The World or the Word presents the problem all Christians face today. The major problem for Christians and the church is the invasion of the world into Christianity. The information provided will help Christians distinguish between the ways of the world and the ways of the Word. It will guide Christians back to living their lives as commanded by Christ and learn how to defend themselves from the attacks upon God's truth. By the end of the book, Christians should be able to answer the questions "Who will you serve? Will you serve the world or will you serve Christ?"
