True Stories About The Reality of Evil and How to Defeat it.

The Exorcist Files

From Catholic priest and host of blockbuster hit podcast The Exorcist Files, this book is an even deeper dive into the insidious ways the Devil attempts to control us and how we can defeat him.

In this pioneering work for believers, nonbelievers, and anyone curious about the supernatural, Father Carlos Martins shares his real-life exorcism case files.

From witchcraft and pagan practices to pornography and even emotional trauma, evil looks for any opening to cause us pain and destruction. The Exorcist Files lays out the wisdom of the Catholic Church’s understanding of the Devil, how it combats him, and its ministry of liberating souls. In what journalist and New York Times Bestselling author Rod Dreher calls “an instant classic,” Father Martins partners with psychologists and physicians to distinguish mental and physical illness from demon possession and then lays out a plan for the victim’s liberation, taking the reader along each step of the process.

Differentiating myth from reality, Father Martins teaches us how to protect ourselves against evil so that we may possess the freedom of being God’s children.
