About this deal

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 talks about signs to recognize demonic possession, yet says you cannot be certain until exorcism is attempted and you can't tell for sure even after one of two sessions.

While I do agree that leading a devout Christian life can be an admirable pursuit, the book seems to imply that it inevitably leads to a power struggle, as power has a tendency to corrupt. The devil is no respecter of persons and will use whatever power he has against all members of the human race. If people deny his existence, it is easier for him to do his work, because no one protects against him. After having read Mr Adam Bai's Hauntings, Possessions, and Exorcisms, which was very technical and highly organized, this book was somewhat frustrating.

And you can't really tell for yourself if you are, because apparently losing control over your body and being trapped inside your head is one of the most extreme signs of possession, some sort of a final stage and not the norm or even the beginning.

I have no issue whatsoever with religion, but I do take issue with people who let their religion influence their treatment of other people. You can tell straight away that demons are involved, except when you can't and have to work it out later. There are many episodes where he narrates about the exorcism but to the end part of the book I felt little boring, I don't know the reason. But if you ARE a Christian interested in learning more about the types of demonic attack and defenses to those attacks, this is a quick read with easily digestible text.Many cases misdiagnosed as mental illness, however, are cured by the Rite of Exorcism, which is spiritual medicine. It is great in that anyone could pick this book up, read it, and feel like you have learned all that there is to learn about the subject it pertains to (but you truly have not learned everything it just makes you feel that way). Fr Benedict Groeschel hits the nail on the head in his introduction when he says that Fr Amorth speaks of "a world that vacillates between severe rationalism and wild speculation. This includes even what most people think of as totally innocuous, such as the persistent use of foul language. What works for one exorcist won't necessarily work for another but this doesn't matter because "facts do not change and the efficacy of a method cannot be discounted because the facts differ from someone else's experience.

Should you start to worry about the notion that facts are subjective and wonder if maybe there are alternative explanations for these utterly diverse phenomena - beware! This man is harping on about his version of ABSOLUTE TRUTH with EVERYTHING ELSE being a doorway to Satan himself.There are many protestants who also act as exorcists, and people around the globe have experienced demonic possession, oppression or obsession, without regard to their religion or culture. To the credit of the author he does point out psychologists are needed and often work together with an exorcist.
