The Fruitless Deeds of Darkness

You can possess everything—education, security, and status—and still live in darkness.

In this powerful true story, Ove Heradstveit shares his testimony of how God intervened in his life and set him free from the power of darkness.

As a psychologist and researcher with a PhD, he experienced breakdown and deep spiritual struggle—but also deliverance, healing, and calling. He describes a journey from despair to faith, from captivity to freedom, and from a life in research to a life of preaching.

The Fruitless Deeds of Darkness bears witness to the truth that Jesus Christ still performs miracles in our time. He restores what is broken, gives new life where everything seems dead—and calls His children out into the light.

This is a book for all who long for spiritual freedom and a living relationship with God.
A true story of freedom, calling—and the transforming power of God
