Unbelievers are susceptible to Satans deceptions. But are Christians being deceived as well? The answer, all too often, is yes. Many are swayed by scripturally unsound teachings, false prophecies and unholy supernatural manifestations.
Using biblical and modern-day examples, Barbara Wentroble shows you how to identify the subtle deceptions Satan employs and helps you steer clear so you can walk in purity in the presence and power of God. With keen insight, she explains how to:
- protect your mind from deception,
- biblically judge prophecies and manifestations,
- find healing from past traumas that have left you vulnerable to enemy attack,
- break free from deception and much more.

Many in the Church today have neglected the gift of discernment. Barbara Wentroble has reclaimed this lost gift and is urging us to pick it back up again and use it. I pray the Church is listening to her plea. We must discern the deception that has been sown in our midst and have the boldness to reject the devils subtle errors. I applaud Barbara for having the courage to write this book in a time when deception is applauded by gullible Christians. God help us to discern truth from error!

These are days of a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There is an unusual hunger for the supernatural, creating vulnerability in honest seekers desperate for the supernatural and opening them up to potential deception. It is God whom we desperately need to seek and know in a deeper way. Barbara Wentroble skillfully weaves a tapestry of stories and Scripture, counseling us to recognize the veil of deception. In the last days, deception is one of the main snares we need to guard against. This is a must-read for all honest and passionate God-seekers.
