The aim of the trilogy is to open the eyes of all Catholics, especially its leaders, in order to become aware that we are at war and that learning about this war and how to fight it better cannot and should not anymore by ignored or postponed.
Hopefully, this work, with the grace of God, may attain the following objectives:
1) that the growing number of official exorcists of the different archdioceses and dioceses as well as their lay volunteers may have a more practical knowledge about the ministry in order to aid them.
2) to help parish priests diagnose parishioners who come to them for help as well as to aid them in resolving less severe cases of extraordinary demonic activity on their own.
3) in directing the person needing help to the proper medical, psychological, or spiritual referrals when necessary.
This book will focus on topics that are more practical and therefore more technical than the previous works in the series. It would focus on certain practical points regarding the ministry of liberation and the discernment of spirits. Case studies will be used to concretize the learnings. There is a chapter on folk religiosity; the specific perspective will center on the moral repercussions of syncretism or the contamination of our faith by paganism/animism. The last major topic will be on the discernment of spirits as applied to private revelations since many cults are arising due to false mystics and visionaries mesmerizing people with their so-called "signs and wonders."
A growing challenge in the Philippine Church today is to prepare ourselves to detect, confront, draw out, and defeat the devil when he attacks and subjugates Christians in an extraordinary manner. May this volume assist in equipping Catholics to fight back for the sake of their own souls, the salvation of their brothers and sisters, and for the greater glory of God; may it be a source of guidance to Catholics who are called to join the Lord in completely destroying the works of the devil in their lives and in society. - Fr Jocis
