Reading Howard Pittman's 'Demons: An Eyewitness Account' felt like someone switched on a blacklight in a seemingly clean hotel room - suddenly I could see the invisible stains of spiritual warfare everywhere. The way Pittman describes his near-death experience isn't your typical fluffy heaven story; it's more like getting drafted into God's special forces with a classified briefing on enemy tactics.

What shocked me most wasn't the demonic hierarchy (though that was eye-opening), but how Pittman exposes their playbook against believers. That moment when he describes demons studying Christians like chess pieces? I actually paused my reading to check my own life for weak squares. His scriptural backing turns what could feel like supernatural fanfiction into a battlefield manual.

The Kindle version is criminally underpriced at $5 - I'd gladly pay triple for insights this raw. Unlike theological textbooks that discuss demons academically, Pittman writes with the urgency of a war correspondent sending dispatches from the front lines. When he details specific strategies like 'the slow fade' attack on believers, I recognized patterns in my own spiritual dry seasons.

Fair warning: This isn't comfortable bedtime reading. One night after a particularly vivid chapter, I found myself reorganizing my prayer life at 2 AM. But that's the book's power - it doesn't just inform, it mobilizes. By the final page, I didn't just understand Ephesians 6:12 better; I started living like I believed it.
