Unmasking the Unseen Series
Satan Unmasked examines passages of scriptures concerning Satan and the origins of how he evolved into doctrines and belief systems, taking on many different forms as the embodiment of evil. In Christianity, Satan has developed into God’s adversary, a fallen angel. However, in Psalms and the Book of Job, Satan is likened to a prosecuting attorney in the Heavenly Court.
"Prepare to be enthralled by Tekoa Manning’s riveting exploration of the spiritual realm in their book, Spirits Unveiled...For those intrigued by spirituality, Spirits Unveiled (Unmasking the Unseen Series Part 2): A Theological Unveiling of the Spiritual Realm is an indispensable read. Its insightful dissection of biblical scriptures and narratives serves as a remarkable guide for readers keen on comprehending the labyrinthine world of spirits."
What our readers say
For Christians born in the 20th and 21st centuries in western civilization we face a grand adventure of study if we are diligently seeking after the deeper truths of the Holy Writ. Languages and greatly differing cultural context are two of the biggest obstacles we face. Satan Unmasked is an excellent book to begin a journey of uncovering the common ideas today's believers have about Satan as well as spurring the individual to go deeper, to ask more questions and continue to unfold truth. If you are one who wants to verify what you read, you will not be disappointed. Excellent scriptural context, etymology, references as well as cultural historic sources. This book has challenged my perspective in many areas with concrete references and sources. It would make an excellent study book for groups and wonderful discussions!! I'm looking forward to the next book!!
Read this book twice in one week... refreshing insight about the spiritual battles we fight as believers... we all have heard about Jezebel but have we really taken a look at other characters such as her husband Ahab or daughter Athaliah? Have we considered Leviathan? May Abba give us eyes to see & ears to hear.... as we prepare our hearts for the Biblical Fall Festivals. I definitely recommend this book to fellow believers who are serious about their faith walk but have questions about why they experience seasons of intense spiritual testing.
I believe this book can help any soul who has been through deep heartache and still feeling the pain of their trauma. Or for the person who has run into a roadblock in life and is feeling stuck, not knowing how to move forward. The many true stories that the author shares in this book convey to the reader that there is always a way out if you are looking in the right direction. Tekoa does a wonderful job of making sure her words can help anyone find that direction. I wholeheartedly recommend this book no matter what season of life you are in. "Jumping for Joy" is the perfect name for the book because many times, I had to jump out of my chair and shout out loud, "Amen!"
This book was so beautifully written and so tantalizingly told, that I couldn't put it down! The author's incredible grasp of detail, words, and body language really made Polishing Jade a true classic in my library! I could see and feel everything, all the way down to Jades innocent southern charm and her subtle accent. The wind blows, you smell it. Jade smiles and I smile, too. A very good story with a great moral story arc. Emotionally moving. I could definitely imagine Tekoa's work being up there with the masters. Her way with words is so charming and timeless. I wish there were more writers like her today.
