The definative book if concerned about demonic influence

Absolutely excellent for anyone wondering how the demonic can influence and ruin humans, and why. Not only how and why but the attitude you need to find help. As someone who has had two solemn excorcisms I can tell you that there is little in the way of spiritual help or guidance afterwards from clergy. Most are not skilled at seeing you through the toughest period which is "aftercare". This period is well covered in this book and helps the victim understand why most clergy are limited in the assistance they can give. The best book on how to cope afterwards that I've read. Having been given a reading list by the priest who performed the excorcism I can tell you this book should have been on it (but Catholics generally don't push Protestant literature). I suppose that's why I didn't know about this before before I found it recommended on a Web Site.Thanks for the excellent suggestion.

Practical advice on spiritual warfare.

Christians should not be startled by the word "warfare." Yet many are and seek to withdraw from a battle from which no true believer is exempted. Harper writes of the spiritual battles that every Christian is expected to fight, but in which too many fall defeated. Without jargon and in clear prose the author describes who the overcomers are, what kind of weapons and protection they have, and the places where battles may take place (in arenas of the physical, moral, theological, psychological, psychical, and in our children). Basing his approach firmly on Scripture, Harper offers practical advice about what spiritual warfare involves and how one should proceed when the evil spirits of the enemy are detected and after they have been defeated. Throughout this short book--109 pages--the Lord Jesus Christ is consistently held up to the reader as the final victor.
