Separating Fact from Fiction About the Spirit World

Fr. Mike Driscoll

Drawing on his experience as a priest and counselor, and on his research with exorcists, Fr. Driscoll clears up many popular misconceptions about demons and the spirit world and offers sound information and pastoral advice rooted in Catholic tradition, including:

• What we know about demons from history, Scripture, and Church teaching
• How to tell whether personal problems come from mental illnesses or demonic attacks
• What exorcists actually do—and don’t do—when they help people suffering possession
• Why homemade “deliverance ministries” are not a truly Catholic way to counter the influence of demons
• Authentic prayers and practices that will make evil spirits flee—and invite God’s grace into your heart
