Do you find that you are living in a spiritual cage, unable to get out, repeating the same sin over and over again? Perhaps, you are living out the sinful tendencies of your parents, instead of the destiny God has prepared for you. If you are tired of taking two steps forward and three steps backwards in your spiritual life, then Holy Spirit will use "Break Free" as a key to get you out of that cage of limitation and stagnation, and into a life of freedom! Through powerful, vulnerable, and unforgettable storytelling, Vladimir shares incredible moments in ministry and his personal life experiences, that taught him how to find freedom, and live in it. What he has discovered, as God has taken him through a journey of spiritual growth, is truly life changing. Break Free will...* Remove the scales from your eyes about the reality of the spiritual world, and give you the tools to stop simply dealing with the symptoms of your problems, but remove the roots of those problems.* Challenge the belief that curses and demons are only problems in third world countries.* Show that demons come to build strongholds in the minds, as well as destroy a person's life.* Define, once and for all, what freedom really is.>"Break Free" offers a much-needed perspective on deliverance and exorcism and covers a wide range of topics that every Christian should be aware of. I especially like his emphasis on the renewed mind in Christ and the importance of keeping the freedom that deliverance brings.- Dr. Bob Larson, The world's foremost expert on cults, the occult, and supernatural

Introduced and edited by broadcaster Stephen Johnson, a curated selection of chilling ghost stories from world literature.Why do people love ghost stories, even if they don’t believe (or say they don’t believe) in ghosts? Is it simply the adrenaline rush that comes from being mesmerized and terrified by a great storyteller, or do these tales yield deeper meanings—telling us things about our own inner shadows? Stephen Johnson brings together some of the most memorable encounters with ghosts in world literature, from Europe, Russia, the United States, and China. Recurring themes and imagery are noted, interpretations suggested—but only suggested, since ambiguity and resistance to rational interpretation are key elements in the best ghost stories. As the writer Robert Aickman observed, often the decisive moment comes when someone, somehow, makes a “wrong turning”—literally, perhaps, but at the same time psychologically, even morally—and some mysterious nemesis takes over.Old favorites by M. R. James, Ambrose Bierce, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman are interlaced with extracts from longer works by Emily Brontë, Henry James, and Alexander Pushkin,, along with slightly left-field apparitions from Tove Jansson and Flann O’Brien. With such expert guides, who knows what we will be led to encounter in the haunted chambers of our minds?
