Media Reviews

This is an engaging and compelling personal account of the healing and deliverance ministry combined with rigorous study of Scripture. It provides a breadth of testimony and will be of particular interest to those responding to anyone who believes they are oppressed or possessed by the forces of evil. -- June Osborne, Dean of Salisbury
The devil has indeed gone missing in much Western theology and practice. This magnificent book redresses the balance. It is scholarly and balanced. It is fascinating and practical. And it comes not from the lunatic fringe but from a very experienced Anglican clergyman. Buy it - and learn! -- Michael Green, DD
The topic of supernatural evil normally generates either scepticism or sensationalism. This book is a welcome and helpful antidote; based on of years of remarkable experiences, it combines deep pastoral sensitivity, wise reflection and rich spiritual insight. -- Revd Canon J.John
Theologically sound, practical, wise advice on the ministry of deliverance. John Woolmer writes with clarity and power about the activities of the devil today and how deliverance ministry can set people free. I read this excellent book in one sitting! -- Don Brewin, Director of SOMA
