FOREWORD
discovered that there are few exorcists in the world even fewer well prepared ones and almost none in th Philippines. As Fr. Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcis of the Diocese of Rome, says in his book, An Exorcis Tells His Story , “Is this because bishops and priest do not care about this? Or is it because they honestly do not believe in the necessity and ecacy of thi ministry?” I feel I have been called to an apostolat among people who suffer greatly under the evil one They are people that nobody understands — neithe their relatives, nor their doctors, and sometimes, no even their priests.

Amorth also wrote, “I openly admit that o of the purposes of my book is to contribute to the establishment of this pastoral practice of Exorci in the Catholic Church.

INTRODUCTION
So the question now arises, why am I writing a book that deals with precisely such controversia topics; topics sometimes controversial even within th Catholic Church Herself? The answer: It is basically for pastoral reasons. Busy as I am in seminary formation, I decided to write such a book due to the many urgent pastoral concerns that I gradually discovered, to my dismay. In my ministry as a priest, I had at one point gained some experience in extraordinary demonic activity. 1 Lile did I know tha there was a great hunger in the Church for answer and resolutions to this form of demonic harassment When people learned that I had some experience in this area, they started seeking my assistance with regard to their spiritual diculties with a seemingly You're Reading a Preview demonic origin.

INTRODUCTION
I was actually doing research for a more technica book on exorcism and deliverance, but I decided to come out with a simplied work in order that i would be more academically accessible to the genera population; in addition, this would allow the work to be completed earlier. I hope to produce a more technical manual and handbook especially for thos in the exorcism and deliverance ministry in the nea future. All the stories in this book are true although a few details have been changed to protect the identity of some of those concerned and to achieve a smoothe ow in the narration.
