10. Special Interest

All of these books are highly controversial. All of these people claim to have had incredible supernatural experiences with the Lord as you can see by some of the actual titles listed. I personally believe that a lot of these testimonies are the real thing. You will each have to use your own discernment when reading any of these books. Some of what you will read will be very profound and mind-blowing - and that is putting it mildly!
