Lozano’s book provides some excellent clarification on the topics of deliverance and exorcism, how they relate to each other and to the sacraments. The focus is on our inheritance of freedom as children of God, won for us by Jesus on the Cross; and how we can take hold of it in our lives. For those who know that “our battle is not against flesh and blood,” this book is an invaluable aid. It takes the mystery out of the term “deliverance”, putting it in its proper context in the life of the believer. This book is about true freedom and our dignity as sons and daughters of God. I love the careful look it takes at the history of deliverance and exorcism in the Church, and its hopeful vision for the future. An excellent read.
As an Anglo-Catholic priest for 28 years and a bishop for five years, I heartily commend Neal Lazano’s Resisting the Devil to clergy and laity alike. I am most impressed with his approach to a complicated and many times misunderstood realm of spritual reality. The reader will find that Neal Lazano has undergirded his subject with a command of scripture and the theological tradition and practice of the Catholic Church, and with years of dedicated ministry in a variety of cultures and religious environments.

Lozano’s book is tremendously helpful for everyone who hungers for more freedom in their walk with the Lord. Deep spiritual freedom and healing are available to all the children of God! But sometimes we just don’t know how to grab hold of the freedom and joy that Christ has promised us. We can’t quite extricate ourselves from old patterns of sin and guilt. Here, in Lozano’s most recent book, we are reintroduced to the non-confrontational method of deliverance prayer, which Lozano first wrote about in his book UNBOUND. In “Resisting the Devil,” Lozano places this model of deliverance within the Catholic tradition, and explains how through a simple process of forgiveness and renunciation, Christians can escape the bondage of addiction, emptiness, and confusion. This is a must read for every Christian, but especially any who serve God as spiritual directors, priests, pastors, or counselors. I highly recommend this book. Five stars and two thumbs up!
Neal Lozano has a great deal of experience in healing prayer ministry. His very practical explanation outlines the need for this ministry, how to approach it and why it belongs as a part of the spiritual tools for practical healing ministry in the Catholic Church and any Christian Church as well.

This is just another attempt by the Church to absolve people from taking responsibility for their actions. When you have evil thoughts, when you commit `sins’ against your god, fellow humans, and our world, you are the responsible party, not some convenient evil entity that has the god-given power to hold sway over your actions.
Stop wasting time on escapist books. Rather than blame your errors and misconduct on something or someone else and seek to find absolution outside yourself, take responsibility here and now by seeking to do good, forgive when asked, and ask forgiveness from those whom you have wronged. The only one who can save your soul is you.
