The importance of the ministry to "expel demons" is clearly seen in the Gospels, from the actions of the Apostles, and from Church history. The devil is no respecter of persons and will use whatever power he has against all members of the human race.

Amorth allows the reader to witness the activities of the exorcist, to experience what an exorcist sees and does. An Exorcist Tells His Story has been a European best-seller that has gone through numerous printings and editions. There's no question in his mind that African religions are false and open people to demonic possession. I am in a period of long unemployment, which is apparently a symptom of potential demonic influence in my life.

You can tell straight away that demons are involved, except when you can't and have to work it out later. By those accounts, I suspect this author would happily let me know I was going to hell, despite the fact that my most meaningful spiritual practice is. but because it so clearly demonstrates the horrifying logical contortions the human mind is capable of once it has discounted all possibility of its initial premise being wrong.

An Exorcist Tells His Story was the perfect length for a seven-hour (approximately) car trip my husband and I took yesterday including pauses for discussion. While I enjoyed listening to the experiences in exorcism throughout the book, I feel that this could have been even better had he just relayed the alleged stories, instead of preaching his religion. The author states how important is to submit to the authority of the Church, yet admits to performing thousands of unauthorized exorcisms. This book will only teach you one thing and one thing alone; that humility and humbleness is the most powerful weapon against dark forces. He breaks the problem down into understandable and manageable divisions, in a way not set forth in the literature previously.There are a lot of anecdotes about exorcisms in this book that will make one realize that evil can approach and attack you from anywhere, especially if you are far from God.

I was expecting (obviously) for this to be saturated with doctrine (which I'm usually okay with) when it comes to this topic.The author, a Roman Catholic priest (who died in 2016) who worked mainly in Italy, nevertheless, gives credit to Protestant exorcists. An excellent, fascinating read but disturbing to the extent that the author makes one realize how the Devil and the demonic can pervade our lives today.
