"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits" - I Timothy 4:1

We hear more and more about miraculous events. Inspirational religious leaders draw thousands with promises of healing and deliverance.

The Bible says that as we approach the last days right before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, people will allow themselves to be deceived by agents of Satan that present magic events as miracles. With counterfeit spirituality on the rise, how can we discern what is from God and what is from the devil?

Spiritual discernment is needed to see God clearly and recognize increasingly clever deceptions that masquerade in His name. "Miracles or Magic?" provides a sound Biblical, historical and scientific analysis for a unique, comprehensive understanding of this controversial topic. This captivating book offers practical advice and encouragement to keep one's spiritual journey on track, and inspires loving but revolutionary changes to the world around them. A detailed Appendix with views on tongues and healings from key Christian leaders and denominations throughout church history is included.

When author Gary Johnson submitted a copy of his book, Just Add Nothing, to Marsha Lambeth of FM KKHT 100.7, he thought nothing would come of it. The radio personality suggested he speak with Ken Garza, who hosted the station's daily drive home show from 4 to 6 p.m. each day. Says Johnson, "When I arrived at the station, Marsha met me in the lobby and spoke with me a few minutes. Mr. Garza walked in the lobby, arriving for his day. He led us into one of the recording/production studios. We began to talk and had a good exchange for a minute or two, and all of a sudden, Ken swung a mic around in front of my face and told me to just keep talking." Believing Garza to just be doing a sound check, Johnson continued speaking. After mentioning the title of his book several times, Garza addressed his listeners with an introduction to Johnson, a native Houstonian, and his book. Says Johnson, "I couldn't believe what was happening but tried to keep cool. What an interview!" But the most miraculous part came afterward: "He punched a few buttons and said, 'That's a wrap.' Then he turned to me and said, 'Gary, I don't know if you realize what just happened. Fifteen minutes before I walked in the lobby, the guest speaker I had scheduled for today's program called and canceled. I didn't know what I was gonna do. This is perfect. It's clean. Just let me do a little production cleanup and it will air today at 4.'" Johnson couldn't be happier about the impromptu interview: "All I started out to do was go and drop off a copy of my little book in the hopes that someone would read it and maybe take an interest. It's so amazing, it has to be God!"
