Worth every minute

I am always blown away by Father Martin’s experiences, and amazed by his faith and his bravery in confronting the demonic. I was introduced to his work through the exorcist files podcast and find it both interesting, and eye opening. This book is an excellent resource for anyone trying to learn about spiritual warfare. This books warns of the power of satan but it also teaches that the only true safety is in Christ.

No Stone Unturned!

Fr. Martins knows how to tell a story and he does it with knowledge, authority granted by Christ, and with a history of experience. Great read for those who want to shield themselves from the evil in the world.

How we can have evil spirits

Reminds of the book , The Screwtape Letters, in that it gave me a view of evil works and what happens on their side of the spiritual world. I even said some prayers they went through in the book.

Phenomenal

More practical guidance to avoid demonic influence on your life is provided in this book than in other exorcism books I have read, though they are all useful. Fr. Martins, who I realized after starting this book that I have actually met in person, is a great, perfectly paced narrator. And his writing is excellent.

Thank you

What a wonderful resource of the spiritual warfare that we are all in to today. I have listened to it twice and each time I learn more about coming closer to God and all the prayers that we need pray.
