Demonology

THE DEMONOLOGIST: THE EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF ED AND LORRAINE WARREN by Gerald Brittle (2002) This book is a must read for anyone interested in paranormal research of spirit entities or for those interested in becoming Clergy, entering the deliverance field or even thinking of playing around with the occult. While the Warrens are catholic and speak in terms related to those of the catholic denomination, the information in this book applies to all denominations. They provide a clear explanation of the various spirit types breaking down ghost and demons as seperate entities. Each has it's own catagory of phenomena and most often demonic spirits are brought in by invitation.
BEWARE THE NIGHT by Ralph Sarchie (2001)  Sgt. Ralph Sarchie and his daring partner in preternatural combat, Joe Forrester, swing some pretty heavy-duty spiritual bats against the "Principalities and Powers" of darkness and despair. In the courageous manner of other spiritual warriors like Fr. Martin, Fr. Gabriel Amorth, and Bishop McKenna, they offer themselves in fierce struggles to free others from the bondage to the demonic. For this is not a game, but a deadly-serious, winner-take-all contest for the bodies, minds, and souls of the devil's unfortunate prey.
SHADOWS OF THE DARK by John Zaffis (2004) Its a well written and inteligent look at some extremely remarkable cases of demonic attack. In a society that increasingly wants to pretend that any thing spiritual must be benign we need more books like this that remind people that evil is just as real.
HOSTAGE TO THE DEVIL by Malachi Martin (1992) Father Martin has spoken on radio about the "middle plateau" which is the space in which demons can move in spirit form and enter the unwary individual who experiments with astral projection, remote viewing and other such pursuits. This book relates the experiences of 5 people who have opened themselves up to this place, allowed their minds to empty, and in that vacuum, the evil spirit can enter.
AN EXORCIST TELLS HIS STORY by Gabriel Amorth (1999) Fr. Amorth provides numerous first-hand encounters with demonic possession. These provide examples that can help one understand the symptoms of posession in order to differentiate it from things that might simply be mental illness. And, as the foreword indicates, Fr. Amorth gives an intelligent account. This is not the account of some faith healer who sees demons under every doily. He's careful to point out that most people need psychologists, not exorcists, and that, even after an exorcism, many people still need a psychologist to deal with the trauma of their lives.
THE EXORCISM OF ANNELIESE MICHEL by Felicitas D. Goodman (1981) This is a remarkable book about a clash of world views. In 1978 a young German woman named Anneliese Michel died. The German courts found her parents and the priests who attended her guilty of negligent homicide. The courts concluded that Anneliese dies because she had been subjected to extensive and severe Exorcism rites, rather than continuing the medications she had been given for epileptic seizures.
PEOPLE OF THE LIE by M. Scott Peck (1998) Dr. Peck dives into the study of evil in human beings. Dr. Peck claims that evil does exist, but it's neither incurable nor unavoidable! And the only way to combat evil is to admit to its existence and to recognize its danger. How can you fight something that you don't even believe is true, he says.
