Howard Pittman's 'Demons: An Eyewitness Account' isn't your typical Christian book - it's a battlefield manual wrapped in a supernatural testimony. Having read dozens of spiritual warfare books, this one stands out for its raw, firsthand perspective on the demonic realm.

The most gripping section details Pittman's near-death experience where he claims to have witnessed the hierarchy of hell. Whether you fully believe his account or not (some reviewers don't), his biblical framing of spiritual warfare aligns with Ephesians 6:12 in a way that makes theoretical concepts suddenly feel terrifyingly real.

What surprised me most was how practical this book is. It doesn't just scare you about demons - it teaches their playbook. The chapters on demonic tactics (how they exploit weaknesses, create divisions, and manipulate circumstances) explained so many frustrating patterns I've seen in ministry work.

The Kindle version at $5 is an absolute steal considering the depth here. I've paid three times as much for books that gave me half the insight. That said, this isn't light reading - some passages about demonic manifestations kept me up at night (in a good, spiritually alert way).

My only critique? Pittman occasionally ventures beyond strictly biblical descriptions of the spirit realm. While fascinating, these sections should be weighed against Scripture rather than taken as doctrinal truth. This book works best when paired with regular Bible study.

For any Christian serious about spiritual warfare, this belongs on your shelf right beside 'This Present Darkness' and 'The Bondage Breaker.' Just be warned - after reading, you'll start seeing 'principalities and powers' at work everywhere.
