Publisher's Description
“Provocative, insightful, and enlightening—a foray into an often-neglected topic that merits more attention than it typically receives.” --Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ What is Our Fascination with the Other Side? Join investigative reporter Billy Hallowell as he delves into the strange phenomena of supernatural activity. Themes of demonic possession, exorcism, and ghosts have overtaken Hollywood, with countless films and TV shows delving into the age-old struggle against evil. But the question is why? Even with so much focus on the topic, there seems to be very little public knowledge and discussion about the theology and real-life claims surrounding demons. Quite often, many people remain silent about their experiences or resort to quietly whispering about what they’ve seen, heard, or felt for fear of being labeled as crazy. The truth is, even pastors, priests, and clergy who have observed firsthand accounts of possession and deliverance can succumb to the strange and terrifying effects of intense spiritual warfare. For people of faith, Playing with Fire addresses these core questions: Are demons active today? If they do indeed exist, what are they? Fallen angels? Nephilim? Can demons inhabit human beings? According to the Bible, can people die and remain behind as “ghosts”? Playing with Fire explores the theological underpinnings surrounding the supernatural. Relying on firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, and Christian experts, Hallowell takes readers through the various views and perspectives surrounding supernatural activity.

“One of my favorite books I've ever read”
“A flawless story of redemption and salvation, Playing With Fire will consume you entirely.”
“A perfect frenemies-to-lovers story of two lonely and scarred souls who needed each other to find they were never broken. Written in L.J.'s signature pen with vivid imagery, witty dialogue, impeccable comedic timing, and fused with emotions, Playing with Fire is now at the top of my list of Shen favorites.”
“Shen writes a heartbreaking, yet empowering tale of two people overcoming darkness to find light and life within each other and themselves. Her words create a beautiful woven love story, grown from the purity of real friendship, and cultivated by the understanding of grief and pain. Finding the strength and beauty within the scars' real trauma leaves behind. Grace and West stole my heart and will forever keep a piece locked within the pages of their story.”
“Shen is a master at writing heroines you want as a best friend and heroes you want to slap (as much as you want to cuddle). Playing with Fire a is heartbreaking, intensely emotional and beautifully inspiring story of love, hope and redemption. Absolutely unputdownable! (apart from when my kindle hit me in the head because I was trying to sleep-read to get to the happily ever after, which I definitely deserved after all that heartbreak, and frankly so did Grace and West).”
“West will own your heart.”
“Speechless. Playing with fire wasn't just unputdownable, but it's also my favorite read of 2020.”
“L.J. Shen has momentarily rendered me speechless with her latest angsty and heart achingly beautiful standalone.”
