Deliver Us from Evil: A Pastor's Reluctant Encounters with the Powers of Darkness

By Don W. Basham

Book Overview

Are Christians at risk of demonic invasion? "Absolutely not," thought Pastor Don Basham when another pastor suggested evil influences might be causing turmoil in his church and failures in his ministry. But after more troubling and perplexing problems, Basham began to discover he was wrong. In this page-turning account, Basham chronicles his reluctant journey from disbelief to acceptance in the existence of demonic spirits. More than a story, he imparts what he discovered about demons, the difference between infestation and possession, and how to engage in spiritual warfare. He also describes the biblical tools that bring about deliverance from demonic influence. Through this moving story, you will learn how to recognize the presence of evil spirits, pray for deliverance and protect against demonic invasion. It's never too late. You can find the freedom and healing you need--and be an agent of deliverance to others.

Simple, but the best book on deliverance

This is to me the best book that I have read on deliverance, and I have read quite a few.It explains things simply and understandably with scriptures to back up his examples and conclusions. I thought I understood deliverance fairly well, but I gained a lot from this very interesting book. Perhaps it is just me, but I feel a lot more confidence in my authority, that God has given me, over demons since I finished reading this book.

Finally, a north american (not an argentine) with power!

This is very similair to Carlos Annacondia's book- "Listen to Me Satan" only it is from the perspective of a laid back N. American preacher. It is very insightful. It answered many questions I had concerning demonic deliverence; and I couldn't put it down- it was excellent. However it is not written with the same literary eloquance of, say, C.S Lewis- nevertheless simply due to its exciting factual content I thuroughly enjoyed the book!

Excellent introduction to the ministry of deliverance

You walk with Don Basham in his own exploration of spiritual realities and God's unfolding plan for the ministry of deliverance. It's an amazing journey as God gently guides him in this long neglected area of ministry. He gives us an honest look at his trials, successes and failures. A quick read -- it's a compelling story and hard to put down.

A must read book for all belivers.

Basham gives a testemony on how he delivered himself and many other from demonic powers. The book is exposing a truth of the Bible in a beliveble way. However he does not touch the side of battling and repenting over time, like Watchman Knee in Spiritual Man. (You shuld get that one to..)The Church needs the kind of faithbuilding books,like Bashams.
