This classic work is an essential resource for anyone seeking effectively to understand and help people who believe themselves to be disturbed or invaded by powers which they cannot control. It includes sections on spiritualism, New Age spirituality, abuse (including Satanic ritual abuse), and charismatic renewal, and these are augmented by sources and references on 'occult' and 'psychic' phenomena. Well-balanced in its coverage, judicious and responsible in its treatment of controversial subjects, and illustrated throughout by pertinent case studies, Deliverance will be consulted as the most authoritative handbook on the market. Describing as it does the range of cases a pastor might expect to encounter, the book offers indispensible guidance on the practice of discernment.
