Nothing can be really be said other than what other people have said, it’s just 1970’s rambling religious jargon about the world. 1 million copies in print isn’t all that impressive when you literally renew and republish every year to try and make people choke on what you’re selling. Both authors are apparently Christians with degrees from Baptist colleges who orchestrate out of Texas. What a surprise. I have read some other stuff on deliverance and am still studying it gradually – all be it in a slightly wary way. There does seem to be some variation in details of the ‘how to do it’ and when and why you do it – oh yes and where to do – it if a place seems to need deliverance rather than a person. Yes, if you’ve heard those old stories of haunted places needing a visit by a priest to clear out a ghost or similar creepy spiritual problem it seems some people are still practising this kind of deliverance – usually calling it exorcism – from what I can gather. Husband and I received a 30% of mains voucher through the door so thought we'd try this place for a late lunch/early dinner on a Saturday.

This issue is written about in the New Testament quite a lot, and many Christians would assert that the New Testament is part of God’s ‘Word’ which is the contents of the Holy Bible. So do most churches in the developed and wider world today still teach demons are real? Not where I’ve been living that’s for sure. Your average evangelical Christian would say all of the Bible is true I’m sure – but you won’t find ‘deliverance’ being practiced as is written about in ‘Pigs in The Parlour’, which claims follows Jesus model of deliverance and teaching on the subject.I know a guy who lived with Prince in Africa and recently wrote a book on demonology He is a Messianic Jew so his linguistic insights are incredible I realized that it is christian after I had read about Jesus Christ, after I had cried out to him because I desperately wanted to become a child of God so that he could protect me from demonic powers, I realized that when Jesus saved me, chased the demons away and gave me a new life and a new Spirit. I realized that when I through the blood of the lamb became a child of the most high God. Here is the clear example of how Christians, who have been born again and received Holy Spirit, can be tempted into receiving a false spirit - a demon.

Hammond quotes scripture quite a lot and seems in no doubt about what he is teaching through this book. He even makes a large – but he says incomplete – list of all the demons he has encountered in his ministry – which is a lot of types, and explains that there is the potential to get a demon of just about anything! I don’t know what to think about that last assertion or how Biblical it is. Drinks some of us wanted not available (normal coke) so was offered bottle normal coke which was a good alternative only to be told after a wait that wasn’t available either. Chose a non alcoholic beer,... not available either, no orange juice either. Inherited from Middle English parlour, from Old French parleor, parloir, parleoir, from the verb parler ( “ to speak ” ); compare Medieval Latin parlātōrium. Frank Davis Hammond (Oct. 12, 1921 - March 17, 2005) was an author of Christian related books, particularly on deliverance ministry. In 1980 Hammond founded 'The Children's Bread Ministry' with his wife (and sometimes coauthor) Ida Mae Hammond. Hammond was an alumnus of Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I learned so much about demons and deliverance and not to fear them. I learned about how to minister to different kinds of people, groupings of demons, ample scripture support, and deliverance tips, etc. Great read for anyone desiring to learn about demons and how to be delivered from them who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, the Son of God.In essence they say, we should be following the model of Jesus in carrying out deliverance and doing it like Jesus did it to ourselves and others – casting out any demons we find. That’s what this book is all about.

We were meeting friends who live abroad whom we hadn't seen for a couple of years so it was disappointing that we had to focus quite a bit on various complaints. (Why they serve bread that you can't get your teeth into, for example, I cannot understand?) I will say this cover is absolutely gorgeous and should be something akin to animal farm but alas it’s not. Deliverance is for those who are in covenant with God: In Matthew 15:26, Jesus tells a non-Jewish woman who was seeking deliverance for her daughter, "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs." Obviously the context of this verse tells us that He wasn't speaking of physical children, but spiritual children. I also believe Jesus made it clear in this verse that it is not fit to cast deliverance before those who are outside covenant with God.

Hammond implies that most demons enter a person before birth or during infancy (117). Most adopted children “will have spirits of rejection” (118). A child’s stuffed toy frog had to go because it could attract demons (142). (Sorry, Kermit!)
