In this powerful book, Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the renowned chief exorcist of Rome, tells of his many experiences in his ministry as an exorcist doing battle with Satan to relieve the great suffering of many people in the grip of evil. The importance of the ministry to "expel demons" is clearly seen in the Gospels, from the actions of the Apostles, and from Church history.
In this book, Father Amorth allows the reader to witness the activities of the exorcist, to experience what an exorcist sees and does. He shows how real and powerful the devil is, and how his wicked and evil influence is so prevalent today in many people's lives. He also reveals how little modern science, psychology and medicine can do to help those under Satan's influence, and that only the power of Christ can release them from their mental, spiritual or physical suffering.
An Exorcist Tells His Story has been a European best-seller that has gone through numerous printings and editions. No other book today so thoroughly and concisely discusses the topic of exorcism.
"This is a very important book. Every pastoral leader, clergy and lay, should read it. The ministry of exorcism badly needs to be restored in the Church today and Fr. Amorth's book is a significant contribution in this direction. The book is not so much a theological treatise as a personal witness to the pastoral wisdom accumulated over the years as exorcist for the Diocese of Rome, and as such is extremely valuable."

"Fr. Amorth tells us about his personal confrontations with the devil on hundreds of occasions. Those who deny or doubt the power of the devil will be shocked at what they find in this book."
-Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J.
Editor, Homiletic and Pastoral Review
"A perfect antidote for the prevalent opinion that "casting out demons" is an embarrassing relic of the Catholic past, Father Amorth's book offers calm and factual exposition of the Church's constant teaching on "demonopathy" as well as illuminating incidents from his long experience as official exorcist for the Diocese of Rome. It is utterly fascinating, filled with insights into an often overlooked cause for the world's evils."
