She Was Deep in the occult

Then Jesus set her free.

The Light Shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it!

John 1:5

Addicted to drugs and alcohol and searching for meaning, Jac descended into a world of ritual magick, occult philosophy, and spiritual deception. A self-described sorceress practicing in a Masonic temple, she believed she had found hidden knowledge and power. But behind the promises of enlightenment and identity was a darkness that only tightened its grip.

Then Jesus intervened.

In Ensnared, Jac shares her powerful story of rescue out of abuse, addiction, and occult bondage and into the transforming freedom found in Christ. With honesty, clarity, and deep conviction, she pulls back the curtain on practices that are rapidly becoming mainstream in today’s culture.

Inside this eye-opening book, you’ll discover:

a behind-the-scenes look at what New Age and occult teachings actually promote
the spiritual realities behind practices like tarot, crystals, numerology, alchemy, witchcraft, manifestation, and alien contact
how these movements promise identity, connection, and control but ultimately enslave

Ensnared is about proclaiming hope into the darkness. Through Jac’s testimony and biblical teaching, readers will see the overwhelming power of the gospel, learn how to discern spiritual deception in today’s culture, and be equipped to lovingly reach those still searching in the shadows.

Because no darkness is stronger than the light of Christ.

I was in deep darkness and demonically
possessed. And yet, today I am clean,
forgiven, and free. How can it be?

Discover the truth behind today’s most popular spiritual practices

—and the freedom found in Christ alone.

“Jac Marino Chen knows firsthand how dark the other side really is. That’s what gives her words such credibility. She exposes the reality of evil without sensationalism, and she powerfully points readers to the hope of the gospel with clarity and grace. Her amazing journey will both sober and encourage you.”

—Ray Comfort, founder and CEO of Living Waters Ministries

“Ensnared addresses an issue that has long suffered from a dearth of biblical clarity and, conversely, theological credibility. Balancing courageous transparency with a genuine concern for souls, Jac Marino Chen exposes readers to the very real spiritual perils that are inherent with New Age occultism, while offering freedom and hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which alone is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).”

—Darrell B. Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, Arizona

“With increasing and saddening frequency, more and more people today are being caught up in the evil world of New Age and the occult. Thankfully, by God’s grace, Jac Marino Chen was delivered out of darkness and into the marvelous light of salvation in Jesus Christ. Her autobiography, Ensnared, sheds light on the darkness that has deceived and ruined so many people. I’m especially grateful for Jac’s helpful and dynamic engagement with holy Scripture to dispel Satan’s lies and showcase God’s truth. May the Lord rescue many more precious, lost souls who have been ensnared.”

—Nate Pickowicz, pastor of Harvest Bible Church in Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire, and author of Overcoming the Darkness: Biblical Help for Spiritual Depression

“Ensnared uncovers the deception of spiritual enlightenment practices in the occult. Jac Marino Chen's powerful testimony leads the reader out of darkness and into the true light found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.”

—John Randall, pastor of Calvary South OC

“When Paul wrote that God ‘comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction’ (2 Corinthians 1:4 NASB), he had something like Ensnared in mind. Jac does not write as an ivory tower academic (although her research is top tier). She has firsthand experience of the New Age, so she writes with the heart of an evangelist, deeply desiring to rescue people from the eternal peril she was in danger of enduring before Jesus set her free. This book is not sensational. It has the unique quality of being sober and biblical while also being a real page turner. I highly recommend it!”

—Dr. Jon Benzinger, lead pastor at Redeemer Bible Church, president of Redeemer Seminary, host of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, and co-founder of OneGospel Ministries
