Resisting the Devil


Book Description

Find Your Way to Spiritual Freedom Do you find yourself struggling with a particular sin or dysfunction over and over again? Do you feel hopeless in finding freedom despite your best efforts? Do you still feel guilty, ashamed, and doomed to repeat a besetting sin, even after receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation? In Resisting the Devil, author Neal Lozano shows that sometimes evil spirits tell us lies that lock us into sins and personal problems. He explains the practice of deliverance, a way of dealing with such demonic influences that is supported by the teaching and tradition of the Catholic Church. Lozano's "Unbound" Model, based on three decades of experience in deliverance ministry, builds a bridge between the sacrament of Reconciliation and exorcism. People only very rarely need exorcism. Readers of Resisting the Devil: A Catholic Perspective on Deliverance will Learn how to recognize the activity of evil spirits See how deliverance from spiritual bondage can be gentle, safe, and effective Understand how deliverance differs from exorcism and how deliverance and Reconciliation can work together Read the testimonies of women and men who have been freed through deliverance ministry "Resisting the Devil is a thoughtful work that facilitates a balanced dialogue between deliverance ministry and the Church's rite of exorcism. I warmly recommend this book to anyone journeying with individuals variously afflicted by the Evil One." -- Rev. Jeffrey S. Grob, Associate Vicar for Canonical Services for the Archdiocese of Chicago




Reconciliation and Justification


Book Description

Reconciliation and Justification offers a thorough historical and theological background on reconciliation and justification. It is an excellent textbook for theology, a good stimulus for discussion, and a significant contribution to all theological libraries. Since Vatican II the sacrament of reconciliation has met with both successes and difficulties. Author Kenan B. Osborne, O.F.M., contends that one of the main reasons for difficulty with the renewal of this sacrament is that it lacks the integration of justification theology. He outlines key issues on justification within the biblical theology of St. Paul and traces the historical, theological, and liturgical developments from the first century to the present. Thus, Fr. Osborne enriches our conception of reconciliation through these reflective christological and ecclesiological dimensions.

A History of Penance


Book Description




We Are At War


Book Description

We ended our long journey in Book One with a conclusion that Satan is the only enemy of God and man. He is responsible for our growing sinfulness that cause crises and wars from our family to the global levels. In all its attacks, this enemy uses man as its agents by tempting us in our hearts to offend God through our sins. Accordingly, we proceed in This Book Two to bring these Agents to the Global Court for trial in order to enhance the level of Global Peace in the world and our Spiritual Relationship with God. To undertake this Trial effectively, we must follow the Pillars that Christ established for us through His teaching and Commandments. On the secular level, Christ commanded that if our brother offends us we must first settle with him. If he refuses, we obtain witnesses and bring him before the court of witnesses for settlement and justice. On the spiritual level of restoring our relationship with God, Christ established the Pillar of the Sacrament of Penance through His Church to provide us the means of settling with God and obtain His forgiveness for our offence. These secular and spiritual pillars had sustained Our Good Relationship with God as well as Global Peace, Justice, Good Governance and Modern Civilization for over two thousand years since they were established through His Church. In this Book Two, we take up His Secular Pillar of seeking Settlement and Justice against our Brothers who had been causing global decline in peace through their cooperation with Satan. To this end , we brought them before a Fictional Global Trial Court GTC -- for settlement. We leave them to seek settlement with God through the Church as commanded by Christ . At the conclusion of their Trial, by the GTC, we proceeded in Book Three to implement the Court s Recommendations in a Fictional Secular Government of Odom. In Books Four and Five we survey in greater detail the ways our Enemy uses people at their various Professions and Government positions to tempt us to disobey God s Good Commandments that provide the Pillars of Justice, Peace and Progress in our Lives.
