The Kingdom Of The Occult

Jill's Magnum Opus is her book The Kingdom Of The Occult,[4] sequel to her own father's "Kingdom of the Cults".[5] The Kingdom Of The Occult is a massive 750-page encyclopedia on the "Occult" and the correct True Christian way to deal with it. It includes many anecdotes and notes from her father about how he supposedly exorcized demons, countless stories about kids realizing that Ouija boards were powered by the Devil and testimonies of former Occultists who found Jesus. It even accuses Christians who take a non-dispensational view of the end times of having "occult" beliefs.[6]
