This is a guide on how we can free ourselves from the many debilitating influences that can take a stronghold in our lives, from fear and addiction to oppressive evil spirits.Though fear is a natural emotion, and addictions are forms of illness, nevertheless the devil can exploit them in order to lead people towards sin and away from God. Written from his personal experience of dealing with his own fears and anxieties, his research into the various forms of addiction that can ruin lives and his own encounters with evil through his work as an exorcist, Fr Collins offers practical advice on how to overcome these afflictions.While Fr Collins says possession is a very rare occurrence, he is regularly contacted by people who in their own minds believe - rightly or wrongly - that they're afflicted by an evil spirit. This book hopes to offer support for people in this situation who feel they have no one to turn to for help, or for those seeking to help.
