UFOs and God by Derrick Warfel Book Review

About the Book:

A timely, Bible-based investigation that reveals what’s really behind UFOs and alien encounters—and why the truth matters more now than ever.

UFOs and GOD by Derrick Warfel is a gripping, eye-opening exploration of one of the most urgent spiritual questions of our time: What is really behind the global explosion of UFO sightings and encounters?

Militaries, congresses, and whistleblowers say the UFOs are real. Cable shows push a narrative that they are our extraterrestrial “space brothers” here to help us. But, is their motive far more sinister?

Drawing from documented cases, credible testimonies, science, and Scripture, Warfel—a Princeton graduate, a Dallas Seminary theologian, and an award-winning filmmaker— makes a carefully reasoned case that these are not extraterrestrials, but fallen supernatural powers the Bible warns us about in Ephesian 6:12.

Conversational, accessible, and grounded in biblical truth, UFOs and God, a companion to the documentary of the same name, equips readers to be prepared for this coming deception to the church.

In UFOs and GOD, you will learn:

· That there are too many documented cases to ignore; you must have answers.
· What false narratives modern media are telling us about UFOs.
· How Scripture explains this as part of a supernatural war from eternity past.
· Why these modern UFO narratives merely mirror past spiritual counterfeits.
· How to be successful in daily spiritual and supernatural warfare.
· How Christians can protect themselves, and their families, from these threats.
· How the UFOs may play a key part in end-times battles.

UFOs and GOD offers clarity in an increasingly confused world—and reminds believers that Truth is not “out there.” It has already been revealed.

My Review:

UFOs are in the news. The US government is releasing new information and Spielberg has just released a film about them. What is a Christian to think about it all?

This is a very thought provoking book. Are UFOs real? Warfel notes that some 99% of the reports can be explained away but there is still 1% that is very real. He explores the reports and concludes Christians need to be aware of what UFOs are and the message they are promoting.

He argues that the appearances are those of spiritual beings, arguing against  being aliens from outer space. I appreciate him showing how the actions of UFOs can be explained by spiritual beings with greater resources than humans, such as going through dimensions to appear and disappear. His major concern is the message these spiritual beings are promoting to humans.  He identifies the source of the message and helps readers understand and deal with the messengers through spiritual warfare.

I do not agree with all Warfel presents, but I do think this well researched book is one all Christians should consider. Warfel admits he does not have all the answers but he has certainly presented a strong case for the true nature of UFOs. 

My rating: 4/5 stars.

This book releases August 25.
