Review by Sandi Querin:  "There are often strongholds in our lives, things we do not know about, things that hold us back from living a solid and true life in Christ.  Whether we have known Christ for five minutes or 50 years, these things, if not dealt with, allow open doors for the enemy to enter and torment us in one way or another.  The instructions in this book will allow you to be totally set free from what cycles you back into sin, depression, and weakness.  It will teach you how to be set free and stay free.  Time is valuable.  It is my honor and privilege to recommend this book for you to spend some of that time investing in yourself and the Kingdom of God."

I never imagined the freedom I would receive from closing the four doors to Addictions, Immorality, the Occult, and Generational Sins. As I closed each door, I felt relief and the weight lifted off of me. The peace I have had since closing those doors, I have yearned to have. I will forever be grateful as my life will never be the same. The ability to take every thought captive has become natural. I no longer allow things that used to bother me, take space in my head. Closing these doors has freed me of guilt, shame, and disappointment with myself for past things. I look forward to seeing the continued change in myself as I put God first in all I do! 

Like a lot of the devil’s schemes, he does not want things to be brought into the light, he will convince you that you are healed when in reality your pride is what has covered a multitude of problems. Reading the Open Doors book has uncovered doors I didn’t know could be opened from the occult to addictions to deep hidden roots. I was able to face head on with the help of God and perfectly placed scripture to match every issue. After closing all of the doors I had opened I felt those things leave my body and mind and from then on I felt a certain lightness to my spirit and strength I’ve never known. I don’t feel compelled to run to my old sinful comforts. Not to mention a closer intimate relationship with Christ and a solid identity in Him. This book has helped me move on from my past and be able to focus on my exciting future that God has in store for me!

Before I opened the Bible I had to realize my struggles and what I was doing to myself that was a constant conflict. I reached out to an old high school classmate; this classmate had changed her life for the better. I met up with this person on multiple occasions and was blessed with the book, “Open Doors”. Before I read into the Bible I read this book. When I read the back cover, I felt conviction settling in on my heart and soul. I had seen a lot of the doors I had opened knowing and unknowing. I got down on my knees and asked for forgiveness from the Father. Along with the weeping and praying, the more I got into the book the more I’d seen the standard I needed to elevate myself to. This book paved the way for my relationship with the Father. This book allows you to see what you once didn’t see, to feel what you once didn’t feel. God bless Caryn and God bless all of you for addressing your struggles. May the Lord bless you for many years to come. Stay strong, stay attentive, stay disciplined. It’s all worth it. 

My physical therapist gave the book to a Christian friend who was a converted Hindu. He read the book. He had never heard about closing doors and idols. Being Hindu he had about six golden idols still. Solid gold!! He immediately grabbed them and threw them into the trash outside. He said his house had immediate peace and he could feel the presence of the Lord for the first time in his Christian walk!

I would like to share that I have started distributing your powerful book, Open Doors, to some ladies that God has placed in my life. They each have shared that they are not able to stop reading the book, and that they are sharing the book with other ladies that God places in their path. Each encounter, we can all agree, that it is our Heavenly Father who sets up these divine appointments. God is moving in a miraculous way. Thank you for being obedient and writing such paramount content for such a time as now. God is taking us, as believers in Jesus Christ, to a whole new level.  I can see how He is setting the captives free.

Open Doors has helped me to understand and use the Bible better. It is a guide to spiritual warfare.  It quotes a lot of powerful verses. It has helped me realize I am no longer a slave to sin, now I serve Jesus and his righteousness (Romans 6:6-23).  Great book!!! 

Open doors helped me to overcome and live free of my past. At a very early age I went through different types of traumas. But after a particular trauma at the age of around 8 or 9 I started experiencing a type of harassment in my sleep. It was constant harassment that led to guilt and shame. After falling into deep sin and self-destruction the Lord met me. After becoming a Christian, I forgave the individual and tried moving on. Years passed, and the process of purification and sanctification began. Yet the harassment in my sleep continued and I still felt enslaved, as I asked the Lord why these dreams? The Holy Spirit led me to this book that was sitting on my bookshelf. As I was reading it, everything made sense, my spiritual senses opened. This event in particular surfaced ones again Using the book as my guide I started closing doors that were opened throughout my blood line, from trauma, cultural etc. Jesus in His mercy using this book set me free, after many years I received my breakthrough, it is very powerful and full of spiritual knowledge. I pray in the name Jesus that every person reading this book will receive the key and lock the doors of their past to live their Christian life in freedom.

Open Doors Amazon Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, excellent insight into a spiritual dynamic that affects us all, either for good or bad

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021

This teaching on Open Doors is clearly from God, based on Scripture, and has not only helped me but also those in my family. It's a very easy read, and I highly recommend for any Christian. Even if you're doing everything right, the spiritual understanding this book shares helps you stay there. And when we slip, we know (hopefully we all do!) that there is always forgiveness in Jesus. Yet this book explains how it's still vitally important that we close any doors to the enemy that we have opened.  Highly recommend!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Missing Piece

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021

This book talks about what most others books ignore. The open doors have been the reasons for most of my issues. The book walks you through your life in a real and honest way that will bring these open doors to light so the reader can finally pull up the roots that have been hindering their spiritual growth while at the same time shutting that door to where it can stay closed forever. I have been following Jesus for 16 years and my walk has been one crazy roller coaster. From highs to lows in a continuous pattern. This book has allowed me to close the doors that I didn’t even know were open. My wife has been totally set free from her bondage thanks to Jesus and this book. For the first time in our 15 years of marriage we are one team. It has been night and day for us and the kids are also growing in this freedom. God is so good and He put this book in our lives at the exact time it was needed. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Caryn.

This book changed how I look at spiritual warfare. Caryn offers clear and straightforward instructions on how to live a life that the enemy has no doors of access to. An amazing resource that should be shared over and over again!

I believe everyone who has come to Christ needs to get this book! It is an amazing instruction manual on how to fully live free in Christ! So many people who come to Christ don't understand that the closing of the doors needs to happen to in order to live a successful life!
