Martin Luther in his baptismal rite of 1523 included a wonderfully vigorous exorcism. A pastor of souls may not often encounter the need for performing an exorcism, but a modern expression of words and actions drawn from the Church’s accumulated treasury is a helpful instrument of pastoral care for such times when such an action seems called for. It also serves as an instruction in being alert to the manifold ways in which evil may work in the human heart.
Philip PfatteicherIn this manual, Phillip Gagnon, takes a thoughtful and balanced approach to exorcism and the demonic. It offers substantial help to pastors and other ministers. But perhaps best of all, it helps us all put the whole issue back on the table where it belongs. For that, let us thank God!
J. Robert JacobsonThe power of the gospel exposes other forces at work in human life contending against Christ Jesus — among them, the Lord of the Flies, the evil one. It relies on deception to undermine in word and sacrament, Christ sets out the truth to overcome Satan’s grip on the conscience. Pastor Gagnon has provided a rich collection of prayers and services through which the church has historically called on its Lord for the freeing word. So doing, he has provided a rich resource for both personal and public use.

Deliver Us from Evil: A Manual of Exorcism
By: Phil Gagnon$25.00
This may come as a shocking declaration to many, but Jesus was not given to hyberbole. As C.S. Lewis declares, “not some of us once in awhile but all us all the while live in enemy occupied territory.” This treatise on the demonic is not for the occasional person who falls into a crevasse. It is for every pilgrim, every step, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. The author is inviting each and every Christian to become cognizant, totally aware, that we live out our lives in a war zone. The Body of Christ is the Church militant. Our promised time of rest is yet to come.
