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. Revised and expanded to include material which has strong contemporary relevance, Deliverance is here made available as a new edition. 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 for those counselling those who believe themselves to be psychically disturbed. New sections on spiritualism, New Age spirituality, abuse (including Satanic ritual abuse), and charismatic renewal are now augmented by the latest sources and references on ‘occult’ and ‘psychic’ phenomena. Whether such phenomena are viewed as the manifestations of inner psychological disturbance, or as a concrete reality, the ministry of deliverance is one for which any Christian may need to be prepared. Describing as it does the range of cases a pastor might expect to encounter, this book gives indispensible guidance on the practice of discernment.
