The Devil Goes Missing?: Deliverance: Theology, Practice, History

by John Woolmer

Overview

A comprehensive how to guide for those involved in the practice of deliverance, providing a sensible and theological treatment of an area that is often over-sensationalised.

Covering areas such as generational healing, cultural considerations and inappropriate deliverance. The theological underpinning contains numerous examples and case studies and will deal with frequently asked questions. It includes a "how to" guide for those involved in the practice of deliverance. The book will be of enormous benefit to clergy, pastors and lay leaders of all denominations.
