Dr. Noyes has authored two books, “Spiritualistic Deception in Health and Healing” (2007) and “Exposing Spiritualistic Practices in Healing” (2012). He has researched this subject for more than 35 years. Doctor Noyes observed that some members of his religious organization, Seventh-day Adventists, were partaking of therapies which he understood to have spiritualistic connection and in turn which he exposes in his books.  In 2005 he started writing the first book so as to make available a reference source to help individuals understand what they were choosing to engage in.  It was published in 2007 and the second book Exposing Spiritualistic Practices in Healing published in 2012  The books were written specifically to warn members of his religious organization about these spurious healing therapies but the information in the books is pertinent and valuable for all Christians and non Christians..
