The Vengeful Djinn: Unveiling the Hidden Agenda of Genies

Could have been more .....
I have been listening to various interviews by the authors, and was very excited by the release of this book. I have been following the work of Imbrogno, and was amazed that Guiley was partnering in this djinn project. I think Imbrogno is on to something when he talks about portal science, magnetic fields, plasma, and the part they play in some of these mysteries. I wish there was more detail of THAT in this book. But it turns that is being saved for another book. This book could have been much longer and much more detailed. I feel that the authors "held back" somewhat. I was hoping for something of a Djinn encyclopedia, but got sort of "Djinn for Dummies" -maybe appropriate for western readers. They could have easily written an entire book on the material of each chapter. BUT, if you've never heard of these beings, this is a great introduction to them without getting too buried in the religious stuff. All of that being pretty hard to do, since they seem to be known mostly from Islamic references. Much of the books strongest "evidence" comes from cross referencing religious text with folk tales, and drawing connections to contemporary paranormal stories. The Djinn seem to be shadow people, grey aliens, fairies, and angels, depending upon what the situation requires, it seems. Personally I always find an author's personal experience with the subject matter to be more interesting than referencing old texts, and I wish there was more of that included. There are a few stories from Imbrogno's experiences, and for me these were some of the highlights of the book. I enjoyed the descent into the Djinn cave in Oman. Overall, I would recommend this book because there are a few concepts here, that are not easily found in other places. The connections these authors have made, I think, will be expanded upon by other researchers in the years to come. The weakest part for me is the "the Djinn are coming to get us" ideas. And I'm not sure about the world domination part,.........thats a little too conspiracy/armageddon/2012/ world order, for me. Most of the evidence seems to suggest that Djinn strength is mostly in mind manipulation. If these beings truly exist, I think they mask many of their weaknesses. I would suggest that one couple this book with Legends of the Fire Spirits by Robert Lebling. While it has much more religious reference, you can tell that author had more access to information in some of the countries where Djinn are known. A good massive World Mythology book wouldn't be bad either. You could look for yourself in how many places these djinn fit right in.+++++++

So much info!
I was supposed to see the amount of info in this book. I had a lot of AH HA moments.I’m happy to have read this and gained some understanding.I recently had an experience with one of these and I was told it was a demon.Since my experience I have been researching this topic daily. It has changed me. I think people need this information and grateful I found this book. I will be purchasing the hard copy now.

Fascinating book filled with good information and bad editing
Frankly, I would have given this book 5 stars if it wasn't for the massive amount of spelling and grammatical errors throughout its entirity.If you can get pass that, the stories and explanations of the folklore and stories is just great. A lot of research and care went into the writing of this book and it truly shows that it's a work of love, I just wish they extended that tot he editing.

A Must Read for those wanting to learn more about the Djinn!!!
After reading several reviews left by others I had to edit my own review to address some things.Rosemary Ellen Guiley states on page 98-99, "Djinn activity may not account for all ghosts, of course, but perhaps they have created or piggybacked on the haunting phenomenon. Perhaps some of our most famous ghosts are not ghosts at all. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever know the difference."There are several more places throughout the book which reiterate this concept. She clearly states obviously not every haunting or supernatural encounter or being is Djinn. She just asks readers to take them into consideration.As for the fear aspect others have commented on, she just states what other legends have said about them, as well as some accounts of individual's contact with the Djinn and a small group of the Djinn's intentions. Also, Rosemary states several times through the book they are not all that dissimilar from us. Not all of them are "evil" (which is a human concept by the way), in fact it is even pointed out that it may only be a minority of them that would be considered "evil." The majority of them most likely want to be left alone to pursue their life's path caring less about what humans do.On that note:This book is so full of information, I will be re-reading it frequently. It has several great starting points of reference for me to continue my own research into the Djinn. This whole book was full of enlightening moments for me. When dealing with non-corporeal beings I firmly believe in being informed. Whether it is on purpose, for whatever reason, or solely by chance an encounter happens, knowledge is paramount!!! I believe it is a fools folly to venture into the otherworld or another plane besides ours without having proper knowledge first. What a person may come across whilst there are not always benevolent and NO other entity or being should EVER be dealt with in a disrespectful manner (be they benevolent, malicious, or neutral). I would definitely recommend The Vengeful Djinn to anyone I know that is serious about learning of other realms or who has frequent encounters with non-human entities. It will be an eye opener. Some of the realizations may even be chilling. Regardless of how you are affected by the information, The Vengeful Djinn is a book I highly recommend one keep in their library of knowledge.I am looking forward to purchasing and reading The Djinn Connection.Thank you to Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Philip J. Imbrogno and everyone else for all the hard work, research, and experiences necessary to bring forth this information.

An amazing book, and from my own experience can confirm ...
This book as well as the book "The Djinn Connection" by same author brings all the missing pieces information together to complete the puzzle. After 30 years researching myself and even making charts to se where it all fits, this book certainly explains and help fill in the missing bits. An amazing book, and from my own experience can confirm many of the things explained here. A "must have" book to keep in your library for reference. As the world heads for greater issues it is very clear who is behind it, and most of all, WHY! Abductions, UFO, aliens, spirits, shadow people, men in black, mists, and shape shifters, strange creatures found in London Building in 1960, its all here and all goes back to the Djinn's, these incredible intelligent entities, that have stayed hidden and used a cloak at the time thats suits the time frame to deceive mankind. What are they so angry about? The book reveals both sides of the issue humans face in the attempt to take back the planet.

Great book but not original copy
Great book, I bought one copy back in 2012 original was a great read, but I ordered it here and it was not original, its a cheap copy, cheap print, the ink is even cheap quality, try to buy from other sources on Google, which I shall do and give this cheap copy to charity shop, as a Muslim I'm a strong believer in jinns, but bear one thing in mind, not all jinns are evil, they have societies like we mortal humans do, they eat,sleep, marry have off springs, faster and stronger than us, they cn travel speed of light, (670,000,000 mph) they can posses us, shape shift into any forms preferably snakes and dogs, live thousands of years, some are stronger some are weaker etc plus u have Muslim jinns, Christian jinns, Hindus, Jews, monks, etc but overall I like this book 📖 😀

This I found to be extremely important to explain the physics side of this subject in a comprehensive and easily understood way for a person like me who's knowledge ...
A full comprehensive guide & introduction about the Djinn or demons in Western lore. Interesting comparisons & a thorough explanation of the background / religious beliefs or cultural settings that shape people's perception of these entities . The subject of physicality in relation to matter & how it was proven by a well known scientific experiment; the Geiger / Marsden gold foil experiment in 1909, is detailed thoroughly with other concepts such as reality, celestial objects, and barriers, which are outlined.This I found to be extremely important to explain the physics side of this subject in a comprehensive and easily understood way for a person like me who's knowledge in physics or astronomy is lacking so a little background explanation in these fields is vital.

Interesting but incomplete
Very interesting and in depth study, however, it conspicuously leaves out the mass of research and experience of believers who successfully expel these malign visitations with the Name of Christ. We are not as helpless in this sphere as some would have us believe....the internet is full of such successful cases....the Blood of Jesus Christ saves us....that was the whole point of His sacrafice, to free us from the Adversary.

I was impressed!
This was the first book on the topic that i have read and i was very impressed! It was easy reading and gave the very basic knowledge and background of these particular entities i sought, i found it hard to put down and look forward to reading the follow up book. The author of this book doesn't claim all unexplained phenomenon is Djinn related but opens the mind to the idea it's certainly possible a lot of phenomenon could well be linked.
