An Exorcist Explains How to Heal the Possessed

Three kinds of readers need this book: those who deny the existence of the Devil, those who know someone who may be troubled by him, and those who believe that they themselves are under siege.

In this sober but eye-opening handbook, longtime exorcist Fr. Paolo Carlin first turns to the Bible, the teachings of the Church, and his own experiences to demonstrate the reality of Satan and delineate how he tempts each of us to do evil.

Then Father explains how we are attacked and lists common signs of the extraordinary action of Satan. With that knowledge, we are able to employ the best weapons against the Devil, which Fr. Carlin then enumerates here. Finally, he explains how to distinguish between mental illnesses and diabolical attacks, and makes clear when it is time to turn away from amateur efforts and urgently seek out the expert help of an official exorcist.

Appendices include a practical outline for priests and for others struggling with demonic influences, as well as powerful prayers for the one attacked.

An Exorcist Explains How to Cure the Possessed is a welcome guide for priests, educators, parents, and anyone who is struggling to keep the door closed to Satan, to make life choices according to God's law, and to be extremely prudent and clever before the evil Tempter.
