“Either you believe in possession or you do not. It is that simple, or at least that is how it often seems. However, the existence of the possession state in the human condition is not a matter of faith, it is a phenomenon that demands exploration.” So begins the introduction of this psycho-spiritual exploration of involuntary (or demonic) possession. Avoiding the pitfalls of many such works, here is presented the inarguable fact that the possession state does occur and must be taken seriously if those who are afflicted are to be helped. The only argument that remains is the attributed cause of the state. Covering a comprehensive array of topics from the history of demonic possession to a present understanding of the phenomenology and intrapsychic dynamics of the possession state, the book also provides a depth of understanding with respect to the various forms of possession encountered throughout the world. Readers will also gain an understanding of the various cultural and psychological explanations for possession, including neuropsychological, hypnosis, and psychodynamic theories. It concludes with the examination of three cases of demonic possession and the presentation of diagnostic criteria to assist in differentiating possession from common forms of psychopathology.

@Published in 1919 when Lewis was only twenty, these early poems give an insight into the author's youthful agnosticism. The poems are written in various metrical forms, but are unified by a central idea, expressing his conviction that nature was malevolent and beauty the only true spirituality. Preface by Walter Hooper.@@

Apostle Joseph M. Curry reminds Christians that we are all in an invisible, spiritual battle that has eternal implications for our souls. Yet, most of us don't really know our enemy, Satan. Despite Satan's real presence and existence, many Christians either don't acknowledge that he exists or they give him way too much credit and blame him for everything that goes wrong in their life. We need an accurate and balanced perspective of our enemy and a better understanding of his goals and tactics so that we can have victory over the spiritual battle he wages against us. Apostle Curry discusses the methods and schemes Satan uses against us, and how we can stand against him in the face of specific challenges, such as pornography, addiction, and fear.

This book develops a compelling argument that applies to all forms of fundamentalist religion.

Earle Ellis, Southwestern Journal of Theology This volume provides Calvin's fullest treatment of the relationship between the grace of God and the free will of humans. It offers insight into Calvin's interpretations of the church fathers, especially Augustine, on the topics of grace and free will and contains Calvin's answer to Pighius's objection that preaching is unnecessary if salvation is by grace alone. This important work, edited by renowned scholar A. N. S. Lane, contains material not found elsewhere in Calvin's writings and will be required reading for students of Calvin and the Protestant Reformation.

Intensive Training in Spiritual Warfare It is time for Christians to understand how to win in spiritual warfare. Christ has equipped us to win and help set others free. If you are interested in learning how to use the power of Christ to be free, then this book is for you. Our postmodern world is finally ready to move beyond materialistic rationalism and admit the existence of the supernatural world -- both good and evil. Christians in the early church knew how to act in the midst of the spiritualism of their day. It is time that Christians in our day know how to apply the tools, methods, and power of Christ to sin, wickedness, and evil supernaturalism. The Christian church has utilized six different methods through its history to help set people free. Demons were thought to be a dead issue but as sin and immorality have increased, the presence and impact of wicked spirits has become more evident. Today, Christians view demons as invaders who come to pillage the lives of largely innocent people. It is better to understand Christian deliverance as fumigation or pest control. Everywhere there is moral decay there will be spiritual maggots, cockroaches, and rodents to consume that evil and try and create more. Our choices either promote spiritual life or spiritual death. Christ came to promote spiritual life and freedom. Learn about the spiritual battle.

In recent years deliverance ministry has become increasingly difficult. Even the most seasoned ministers struggle to locate and expel demons. Individuals think they're free from demonic bondage only to be blindsided by another oppressive force. But for New York pastor Alexander Pagani, one experience changed everything. He realized how demons lodge themselves in hidden areas of our lives. First, a demon can quite literally reside in an area of the body. Second, demons can live deep in the soul and remain undetected. Deliverance is like a labyrinth with trap doors, backward stairs, and secret rooms. In The Secrets to Deliverance Pagani shares biblical strategies and his own experiences for evicting the demons in the "rooms" of your soul and body. Featuring prayers and declarations, this book will instruct you how to strategically and powerfully overtake the enemy so that you can live the life God intended for you.
