This is truly a great value for the price. I had this book about 25 years ago, and lost it. Then I saw it in the possession of someone else and I was reminded of how informative that this book is. It was my first book that I read on deliverance. This is not a book to be read by those who are spiritually prepared by the Holy Spirit to read it's content. I pray that GOD will keep you in all your ways with HIS Grace, Mercy, Favor ,and LOVE.

PIGS IN THE PARLOR is interesting and for most of us, a description of a “ministry” that is almost other worldly. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered, leading one to doubt the information and techniques that it embraces. Much of the information in the book about demons is derived from the experience of the authors and of others in deliverance work. How do we know whether it is reliable? Demons are deceivers. Although one can claim that his experience parallels that of a Bible passage, there is no assurance that he can extrapolate a whole principle about demonology from it, like having to call a demon by name. Why can’t the Gospel itself deliver someone once and for all, so that there is then no more need for a deliverance worker? Indeed, are the Hammonds and those like them a special priesthood? Why is there so little instruction about exorcism in the epistles? And why does the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19, 20) and Paul’s instruction to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:24-26) not mention exorcism (nor even healing)? Is any emphasis on demons possibly a distraction from our focus on and love for the Lord? Read full review

I remembered this book from the 1980's. I gave this product to a young friends and their new bible study group. They were asking questions about spiritual warfare. This book is an excellent Old school Christian deliverance "read" that is still pertinent for today's societal moral and spiritual decay in it's churches and communities. I don't agree with all the book's interpretations of spirit realm, however the authors were speaking from their level of comprehension and experiance at that time of ministry. They do outline precise definitions of evil spirits, uncontrolled fleshly behavioral impulses and other works of the satanic fallen world connections. I did like the use of pigs in the parlor, using the original jewish christian Kosher beliefs in unclean animals, making it relate to a person becoming unclean. Today, the christian counseling community is more aware of Dissociative, Bi-polar, and Schizo-phrenia disorders that may mimic or relate to demonic oppression or possession. Many of these issues may be caused by generational, traumatic or medical issues, not just the spiritual realm only. This book should not replace professional crisis intervention, true christian pastoral guidance or mental healthcare. Compared to other books on the topic, it is a good foundational piece to start studies on deliverance ie. looking at the "self" first. Jesus(Y'SHUA) is the only Way to be truly set free.

This is a great book. I have purchased many of them and shared it with family members and friends. This book explains the unexplainable and makes the seemingly scary topics very simple. If someone truly wants explanation for the things people do and mindsets that they have, this book is full of great information. I wish every person that is suffering from anything would read this and be free. After reading it you will have an advantage in life as you will now understand the root of problems and the cure. The chapters on groupings of spirits and the chapter on Schizophrenia are right on and perfectly explained. I hope that people all over the world that actually want change and not to make excuses will read this book. It is freedom.
I read this in 1975. Afterwards I began to work with others in our church in Florida in Deliverance. I have personally SEEN the things in this book work! This is an amazing account of the spiritual warfare we encounter everyday, how to be set free from things that we cannot be rid of in any other way. Not only does it take you through the WAY to deliverance, HOW to take someone else as well as yourself through it but how to STAY delivered. This book was so useful in my life for me to be set free I could never say enough good things about it. A MUST FOR ANYONE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in the deeper walk with God and especially spiritual warfare. I plan to buy several to give to others.
