Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits

Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress. In this concise yet powerful book, author Dan Burke presents the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Enemy on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to combat him.

With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke presents here an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary—combat that is both inevitable and winnable. Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you’ll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.

The battle for our souls is unavoidable. The saints won theirs by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance. With this book as your guide, you’ll grow in strength and contentment as you learn:

•    How to take captive every negative thought and make it obedient to Christ
•    St. Ignatius’s revelations exposing how the Devil seeks to influence us
•    The Paradigm of Ascent and the Five Steps to Sanctity
•    The three ways you can discern “Good Spirits” from “Bad Spirits”
•    The three principal causes of desolation—and what you must do when it afflicts your soul
•    Proven methods for moving away from sin and toward self-giving love of God and neighbor

Demons, Deliverance and Discernment

The Bible tells us that the battle for our eternal souls is not waged against flesh and blood, but against “the spiritual hosts of wickedness” (Eph. 6:12). Satan and his fellow fallen angels hate God and hate us, and they exert their considerable powers and intelligence to try and lead us to damnation. Ordinarily they do this through temptation to sin, but sometimes their attacks are more severe, taking the form of demonic oppression and even possession.

What are these evil spirits we call demons?

How can we recognize when and how they are influencing us?

And most importantly, how do we fight back?

In Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment, Fr. Mike Driscoll answers all these questions and more. Drawing on his experience as a priest and counselor, and on his research with exorcists, Fr. Driscoll clears up many popular misconceptions about demons and the spirit world and offers sound information and pastoral advice rooted in Catholic tradition, including:

• What we know about demons from history, Scripture, and Church teaching
• How to tell whether personal problems come from mental illnesses or demonic attacks
• What exorcists actually do—and don’t do—when they help people suffering possession
• Why homemade “deliverance ministries” are not a truly Catholic way to counter the influence of demons
• Authentic prayers and practices that will make evil spirits flee—and invite God’s grace into your heart

The devil has designs on our soul and hosts of wickedness who want to win it for him. Know your enemy—read Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment and prepare yourself for the fight.
