Rescued from Satan: 14 People Recount their Journey from Demonic Possession to Liberation Kindle Edition

by Benigno Palilla (Author), Cliff Ermatinger (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rescued from Satan
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

I was initially hesitant to buy this book, since there are a lot of sensational books available regarding this very serious subject.

I was not only surprised at the sobriety and depth of the content, the book also filled me with renewed trust and confidence in our Lord. The devil is real and the things recounted in this singular book actually happened, but what was most impressive was how devil’s efforts were turned in their head and ended up working towards the afflicted people’s spiritual growth as they learned to be docile to Christ.

If you think you have problems and difficulties, read this book and you’ll see people who have suffered so much more, yet came out victorious.

In a society that can be obsessed with the occult, this book shares the horrible reality of true Satanic possession from an expert point of view. Unlike other books of a similar theme, this book simultaneously keeps an equal, if not greater, focus on the hope and beauty of God working in these people’s lives. Amidst the terrible suffering endured by these souls, this book beautifully stresses the power of God’s grace, and the power of many day to day prayers/items we may often take for granted. It opens one’s eyes to the larger supernatural reality that surrounds us in our everyday lives. I recommend it 100%!

It was an informative book, regarding possession, and I liked it. I just wish there had been more stories about people rescued from Satan

The devil is real and he is nasty. This book, however, shows that through the consecrated hands of exorcists, the devil does not win. Those who read these stories will grow in knowledge that a fight is on between good and evil and it is only through Jesus Christ and His sacraments that true healing can come. Thanks to Fr Cliff Ermatinger for bringing these stories into English.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found these stories of relief from demonic possession to be beautiful and affirming
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018
Honestly, if I could have given this book a 4 1/2 stars I would have.
As a faithful Catholic, I found these stories of relief from demonic possession to be beautiful and affirming. Not to be presumptuous, but this would not be something to read if you've dabbled in the occult or have messed around seeking the preturnatural. Inviting the evil one---whether expressly in words, or in one's actions/activities---is spiritually very dangerous. It is very useful to know how the enemy gained access to these poor, afflicted souls. And it is very comforting to know how---through the proper instruments of God's Peace (his priests)---these people regained their spiritual freedom. Again, for the faithful this is all very affirming.
But...
This is, after all, a translation. So there are a small number of syntax and spelling errors that were enough for even a blockhead like me to notice.
I've read a couple of this author's books previously, and his writing style is typically pretty meticulous. Again, I'm assuming that many of these errors were some level of "lost in translation".
This is a very quick read. For those who wish to understand the exorcism process (which differs greatly from Hollywood depictions, btw) and the grace and peace it brings, this is so helpful. I highly recommend this book and look forward to Ermatinger's future offerings.

1.0 out of 5 stars I've never returned a book as fast as I did this one.

In the opening chapter of the book, the author gives his first quote to Pope Francis, who has in fact invited demons to the Vatican via bizarre Amazonian rituals--to name just one of his many spiritual abuses as pope.

I'm sorry, but if you are an exorcist who has by grace of ministry a direct perspective into the realities of the Mystery of Iniquity and you aren't willing to grapple with the matter as it pertains to present-day leadership in the Church, you have written a book for another age, not our own.
