About the Author:
Vito Rallo was born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1971, graduated from Bethel Bible Institute in 1983, founded Free Indeed Ministries the same year, and received a Doctorate of Divinity from Ames Christian University. Vito authored several books that are being distributed around the world, and used by church leaders and ministers as a guide for teaching believers the truths they contain. His first book, Breaking Generational Curses & Pulling Down Strongholds, has been a perennial best-seller since soon after it was first published. In the process of his own experiences in the furnace of purification, the Lord opened Vito's eyes to the truth that His plan of salvation includes setting the captives free and healing the brokenhearted through supernatural liberation from the demonic strongholds that bind them! Having gone through this healing and deliverance process himself, and desiring to help others come to a place of greater victory and freedom, Vito began conducting seminars, showing others how to identify and break the bondage that had hindered them in their walk with Christ. As a former five-time US national karate champion, who was himself powerfully delivered from the captivating evil spirits behind martial arts, Vito also authored an explosive book, Exposing the Dangers Behind Martial Arts, which the Lord is mightily using to help many martial arts practitioners reached by the book's message to find real freedom from the devastating spiritual effects and consequences of participation in martial arts and related practices. The testimonies of deliverance produced by this Spirit-charged volume continue to come in as well. In addition to his ongoing writing ministry, Vito conducts "Walking in Freedom" Seminars in churches and other venues, in which he teaches on subjects addressed in his books. Wherever he ministers, Vito rekindles in his listeners a passion for Jesus while preparing the Body of Christ for His imminent return. His down-to-earth approach enables him to stir hearts, refresh souls, and effectively impart encouragement and hope to the weary and struggling.
Review:
Vito Rallo warns us in this book that one can't divorce yoga and martial arts from their evil origins in eastern occult practices. This book is timely and desperately needed. America is being infiltrated and subtly defiled by well-meaning people who are introducing yoga and martial arts as though they could be Christianized and useful for meditation and self-defense. Vito clearly warns that can't be. Satan has blinded the eyes of many (2 Corinthians 4:4), not only unbelievers, but also Christians everywhere, so that he can slip in unawares to defile and lead them astray. Christians, I urge you to allow Vito Rallo's book to open your eyes, and then do everything you can to spread his wakeup message wherever you can. We must pull the wool off of our eyes and our friends', and learn to steer clear of the traps of yoga and martial arts, and the idolatry and defilement into which they lead. May God hear the cries of repentance and set the people free so that they may serve the one true God. John Loren Sandford Founder, Elijah House Ministries, Inc Post Falls, Idaho ++++ Dr. Vito Rallo has done the body of Christ an enormous favor by writing this book. A little hemlock, a little arsenic is all it takes to introduce destruction. The influence of martial arts and yoga upon the church has become noticeable and dangerous opening doors to the realms of darkness that will quickly sap the life out of God's people. I have known Vito for many years now and found him to be a true gentleman and a man of great integrity. He has a fidelity to the word of God and a passion to bring life and wholeness to people everywhere. His book is timely and is backed up by someone who knows what he is talking about. Far more than a lofty dissertation, it is a practical book that we can wrap our minds around bringing God's truth into the everyday world in which we live. This book would make a great gift to give your pastor and youth worker. Leaders need to know the real truth about these matters, and this book delivers. Chris Hayward President, Cleansing Stream Ministries ++++ There is much confusion in the body of Christ concerning the topic of martial arts. I often ran into a nasty spirit of violence as I was doing deliverance on those who had been involved. After reading this very in-depth explanation of martial arts and yoga, the reason became very clear. This book is extremely well written, easy to understand, and indeed is the most thorough treatment of the topic that I have come across to date. Vito has thirty plus years in the martial arts as a student, instructor, and fivetime national champion, so he knows what he is talking about. He very clearly explains the reasons why he gave up the practice, even after using it as an "evangelistic tool." I always felt this to be the way to go, but now this book gives an excellent background and experience in the topic. I highly recommend this book to deliverance workers and youth workers, as well as anyone interested or currently participating in martial arts. It is not merely an innocent sport, a physical fitness tool, or a self-defense mechanism, but it is much more! Dr. Doris Wagner Executive Director, Global Harvest Ministries Colorado Springs, Colorado ++++ ..".this book by Vito Rallo is genuinely and literally a "God-send!" ...Finally! A noholds-barred book that tells it like it is about this dastardly and insidious deception with which the devil has been successfully duping millions for literally centuries."
