Famous Publishing is pleased to announce the worldwide release of the prophetically insightful, spiritually empowering book, Jezebel: The Witch Is Back, by author Landon Schott, available in paperback and e-book through the website, TheJezebelBook, and bookstores everywhere through Ingram and Ingram's Spring Arbor Distributors, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple's iBookstore, Google Books, and more. The spirit of Jezebel has risen to power in our culture and infiltrated the Church. Her witchcraft has wreaked mass spiritual carnage through fear, manipulation, intimidation, and domination carried out by those who fall under her spell-even those in leadership. Her wickedness has wounded and scarred countless believers, leaving them fearful, depressed, defeated, sick, and confused. Jezebel's bloodlust for death and destruction will only be stopped when met with spiritual violence. Jezebel: The Witch Is Back will equip and empower readers to wage spiritual warfare aggressively, live in spiritual victory, and experience God's limitless love and joy as they walk boldly in the call of God on their lives.
