Hmong Animism

As a young Hmong animist, Long Khang has seen his family being oppressed by the household demons and ancestors that his family revered and worshipped as family protectors. Having been raised in an animist-believing family, he and his family members converted to Christianity after his younger sister passed away suddenly from what was believed was demonic oppression. He found true freedom and hope in Christ after converting to Christianity.

For the Hmong animists, their hope is in the false promise of spiritual reincarnation. This book proclaims that Jesus Christ is the hope of the world. Hmong Animism: A Christian Perspective makes a clear distinction between the Kingdom of Heaven where God the Creator prepares for those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and the world of darkness where Satan is the ruler and where all the spirits of the dead of Hmong animists reside.


Author Long Khang offers an in-depth viewpoint into the comparisons and contradictions between Hmong animism and Christianity in his new book, Hmong Animism: A Christian Perspective


Long uses his knowledge of the animist belief system to educate readers on what animists take as faith and how this contradicts heavily within their beliefs in spirits, demons and convictions of God, in contrast to the Christianity's core values.

A brief but thorough historical timeline is also given in the book on the origins of the Hmong people and how they were forced to uproot and resettle in other parts of the world, including the Western countries.

He offers an honest portrayal of the animist belief as a way to not just enlighten those with no previous knowledge of this faith system, but also open the eyes of longstanding animists to the false teachings of their treasured faith.

Hmong Animism: A Christian Perspective is an answer to the call of Hmong Christians who are discouraged by the constant persecution for their choice to follow the true God. By presenting readers, especially Hmong animists, with the facts of falsehoods in Hmong animism, hopefully, tensions can ease and more people will accept Jesus as their Lord.
