Hollywood has co-opted the notion of diabolical possession, placing the devil at center stage. Forgotten are those people who were possessed and their family members. In this book, the very people who suffered the indescribable tell the true story of their trials in which tragedy turns to victory, thanks to the help of a humble and generous Franciscan exorcist.Beginning with an exegesis of Christ's exorcism narratives in the Gospel of Mark, we then come to the main body of the book: 14 people give their testimony of diabolical possession. Finally, Friar Benigno, the exorcist who helped bring these suffering souls to deliverance gives us a manual of spiritual combat to overcome the influence of the Evil One in our lives.
