Michael Charles Perry

This is a good introduction to the place of deliverance and exorcism in Christian healing, and takes a sensible position with regard to psychological and other explanations of 'paranormal' occurrences. Its focus is primarily pastoral, and acknowledges the wide range of influences on often complex pastoral situations, which may or may not involve malign spiritual forces.

Gives better background information on the characters than the movie. This background is what makes the story. new south theme is great.
