'I'm not interested in organised religion, but I'm a very spiritual person.'
Many people today echo this sentiment, believing in a supernatural dimension to life, yet resist traditional Christian thinking. Others are highly sceptical about the existence of anything that they can't see, hear, or touch. How can Christians engage with both groups, helping them to see the reality of the supernatural without being distracted by things that go bump in the night? Spooked: Talking About the Supernatural is an accessible and exciting introduction to thinking about these issues.
The innovative Talking About series helps Christians to engage with today's issues, whether we are standing at the front of a church, or talking casually with our friends. Each book in the series explores the central issues and what the Bible has to say on the subject. It also includes chapters and study guides on relevant films, books and television programmes, making it ideal for use by small groups as well as by individuals.
'Intelligent and accessible, the Talking About books are ideal for anyone who wants to engage effectively with today's big issues.' - Rich Cline, Editor of Idea Magazine
