Any obscure images in his paintings likely reflect his personal creativity.

Harry Potter and his magical adventures as a wizard-in-training continue to mesmerize millions worldwide. Related products such as trading cards, role-playing games, clothing and even furniture have flooded the market. But several questions must be asked: Does Harry offer any positive moral lessons for today's children? Is Harry's magick* truly fictional or is it based on actual occultism? How do the Harry Potter tales compare to other fantasy books like those written by C.S.Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien? In this user-friendly and helpful volume, Richard Abanes answers these questions, provides a hard look at society's not-so-subtle drift toward paganism and examines the reasons why God says "no" to occultism. Harry Potter and the Bible will help you make wise choices for your family. "Why has J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire become the fastest selling book in literature history? Abanes not only provides the answer, but also equips the reader to discern between helpful fantasy literature like The Chronicles of Narnia and a harmful fascination with the Potter series." Hank Hanegraaff, President Christian Research Institute "Richard Abanes' much-needed book provides a rare voice of sanity, reason and biblical discernment...(He) meticulously inspects the Potter books and reveals their close connection to nearly every facet of the occult... This is an important book for parents, grandparents, educators and pastors." Dough Groothuis, Associate Professor of Philosophy Denver Seminary Learn More
