In The Dark Sacrament, co-authors David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna faithfully recount ten contemporary cases of demon possession, haunted houses, and exorcism, and profile the work of two living, active exorcists: Canon William Lendrum, a Protestant, and Father Ignatius McCarthy, a Roman Catholic. Kiely and McKenna conducted countless interviews with victims, families, witnesses, and clergy who assisted in performing multiple rites of exorcism. Many of the accounts are very recent and, in some cases, ongoing. Kiely and McKenna serve as trustworthy guides on this suspense-filled journey into the bizarre, offering concrete advice on how to avoid falling prey to the dark side. Exorcists Canon Lendrum and Father Ignatius reveal their fears, failings, and victories as they reflect on their forty years of service battling the Devil and his minions.

The Dark Sacrament includes the following chilling stories:

• A woman is tormented by her evil dead grandmother, causing her to coil like a snake, snarl, and be invaded by several demons.
• A housewife is haunted by the answers from her children playing on a Ouija board and by a historical character who sexually terrorizes her so much that she is too ashamed to admit it even to her husband.
• A young girl experiences astral travel when the Angel of Death enters her body and takes her along on a frightening journey.
• A boy's temperament turns dark as he is tortured by demons, causing him to become harmful to others—an unresolved 2007 case that is ongoing.

Thoroughly researched and impressively wide-ranging, The Dark Sacrament contains an appendix with detailed historical analysis, translated prayers of exorcism, and fascinating notes on important terms and practices.

When originally published in 1971, The Exorcist became not only a bestselling literary phenomenon, but one of the most frightening and controversial novels ever written (When the author adapted his book to the screen two years later, it then became one of the most terrifying movies ever made.) Blatty fictionalized the true story of a child's demonic possession in the 1940s. The deceptively simple story focuses on Regan, the 11-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C.; the child apparently is possessed by an ancient demon. It's up to a small group of overwhelmed yet determined humans to somehow rescue Regan from this unspeakable fate. Purposefully raw and profane, this novel still has the extraordinary ability to literally shock us into forgetting that it is "just a story." The Exorcist remains a truly unforgettable reading experience. Blatty published a sequel, Legion, in 1983. --Stanley Wiater.

Curtis Earthquake Kelley has a life story that will leave you wondering how one person could experience so much evil and live to tell about it. As the seventh child, he was chosen to carry on the voodoo legacy of his father. From the age of five, his father trained him in voodoo and sorcery with the intent of sending him to Haiti at age eleven to work under Papa Doc Duvalier. In this powerful book, pastor and former heavyweight boxer Earthquake Kelley shares an extraordinary story of his experiences as a child, and the testimony of his salvation and deliverance from a wretched life steeped in drugs and the occult. He takes the reader into the invisible realm and shares what is happening behind the scenes as God allows him to see a visible manifestation of the invisible realm. You will read of his near-death experiences, the first after dying of a drug overdose at age fifteen and being pulled into hell. Decades later, after dying of a brain aneurysm, he entered heaven and saw his son who had been killed years earlier. Kelley gives an incredible and vivid account of his experiences in both heaven and hell. The first 126 pages of this book detail Earthquake s personal life story. He is now a deliverance minister, and the rest of the book provides practical and informative knowledge of deliverance that will astonish you. He shares information such as: How to protect your children from evil spirits and why you must do so; what to do if your children are fearful at night or think there is something in their room; why you must be cautious of the things you bring into your home; how illusionists perform their magic; why you should never have sexual relations with someone to whom you are not married; and what you must do as a Believer to live in victory and keep the enemy under your feet. Kelley addresses and answers questions such as: Can demonic spirits remain in a home after the residents have moved out? What should you do when you move into a new home, or if the home that you live in is haunted? What kinds of problems can demonic spirits cause in your life? How can you gain victory over those problems? What causes division among friends, family, business partners, and people in the church? (Churches even split because of this.) Why must you be careful about the words you speak? Why is it imperative that you deal with bitterness and unforgiveness? This book gives a clear and enlightening picture of what happens in the unseen spirit realm when we fail to live a holy life based on biblical principles and mandates, or when we fail to use our spiritual authority to overcome the enemy. If you are a devout follower of Christ, this book will challenge you to live a holy and victorious Christian life. If you have unsaved friends and family, Bound to Lose, Destined to Win could be the lifeline that will save their souls for eternity..

If you harbor a sneaking suspicion that men are a herd of ignoble savages, then this book is for you. Authors Wrangham and Peterson will confirm your instincts It turns out that hyperviolent social behavior is deeply rooted in male human genes and common among our closest male primate relatives. Rapes, beatings and killings are as much a part of life among the great apes as they are among us. The authors try to conclude on some upbeat notes that ring hollow, but their science reveals much about the dark side of human nature. .

When M. Scott Peck wrote People of the Lie in 1983 he offered readers a fascinating glimpse into the human face of evil. His spiritual/psychological profile of people who were narcissistic as well as evil was especially disturbing because so many of us have faced relatives, co-workers, and even spouses with this destructive combination. However, one of his most chilling chapters in that book was titled "Of Possession and Exorcism," in which he explored an even more sinister form of evil—the possibility that the devil and smaller demonic spirits could entrench themselves into a human's soul. That chapter briefly described two clients who Peck believed were possessed by the devil. Ultimately he performed an exorcism with each client.

In Glimpses of the Devil, Peck returns to this dark and controversial chapter, expanding upon his beliefs in demonic possession. Like many science-educated professionals, Peck was a skeptic when it came to believing in the devil. But here he gives readers the complete story of his conversion as well as a full account of the two clinical cases that made him a believer as well as an exorcist. Because he videotaped the exorcisms, the dialog and scene work is stunningly authentic and convincing.

Some have criticized this discussion as disappointingly dry. One might argue that Peck's restraint when it comes to dramatics and sensationalism is this book's strength. Peck's mission is not to entertain, but rather to request a more expansive discussion of evil, so that science entertains the possibility of the devil and demonic entities. He also hopes that we will begin a serious discussion of interventions against demonic possession that aren't limited to the restraints of the Catholic Church.

Fans of Peck may also discover an unexpected gift within this controversial discussion. Peck is now an elder. Once a best-selling icon, he is aging into humbleness, comfortably admitting his mistakes and arrogance when it came to those early exorcisms. This softness and humility seem to elevate his authority, and we can only hope that he will offer more books from this voice in the years to come. --Gail Hudson.
