Book Review: The Ridiculous Rantings of a Hypocrit Evangelist, Of Little Use To Anyone Actually Interested in Demons
Summary: 1 Stars
As research for my own novel, I purchased and read Demons: The Answer Book by Lester Sumrall. At first, I found myself angry for having wasted any amount of money on such rubbish. However, I read the book through to completion so as to simply be able to comment on its complete and utter absurdity. Filled with contradictions and hypocrisy, Sumrall's alleged "demon book" is nothing more than a religious rant and rave, blaming every sin any human as ever committed on demon possession.
Where shall we begin? Pornography, homosexuality, drug abuse, horror films, fascination with the supernatural, infidelity, obsession with material things, desire for money. Sumrall blames each and every one of these on demon possession, meanwhile completely ignoring the more horrific signs and symptoms of true demon possession. No doubt, most Christians would consider all of the above the various tools of Satan's trade, but Sumrall goes entirely too far when he blames mental illness, sickness, and homosexuality on demon possession. He even suggests that psychiatrists and medical doctors should not treat conditions with medicine, but rather the demons causing the ailments should be exorcised by the church.
Sumrall's few accounts of actual demon possession are fascinating, especially when he describes females possessed by a demon speaking in a male's voice and vice-versa. The opening sequence, describing demonic possession, sets the stage for what could have been a fascinating story. It is a tease in a way, luring the reading in, only to be disappointed by the typical mad ravings of an evangelist who believed he had been granted the power by God to heal those who were sick and expel demons back to hell.
The one point of value that Sumrall makes, worth mentioning, is when he comments that Satan's greatest accomplishment has been his ability to convince man that he does not exist. That is a fascinating point to ponder and one that makes a great deal of sense. It is too unfortunate that this point gets lost in the muck and disaster of this disappointing book. Do not expect a thorough analysis of demons, demon possession, or exorcism. Instead, expect to be insulted and made to feel completely inferior as a sinner who must be possessed by a devil.
