Books about: Exorcism, Angels, & Priests


There is a current fascination with Exorcism, Angels, and the priests that deal in spiritual warfare. The best and safest way to learn about such things is to read books that have been granted Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur by the Catholic Church. Our friends over at Aquinas and More have quite a selction of just those sorts of books. So if this interests you... go have a look.  


The Rite: the Making of a Modern Exorcist
(Newly revised for the Motion Picture)

In The Rite, journalist Matt Baglio uses the astonishing story of one American priest's training as an exorcist to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people's lives even today.

One of our customers writes:
"Don't wait for the movie. Read the book!
I've recommended this book to a few people. They were all impressed."
