Read the book Hostage to the Devil by the late Malachi Martin. Will scare the pants off of you. He goes into painful detail the story of 5 individuals who became possessed in contemporary America. How patient, seductive and devious Satan is, how he is a long term thinker not a Hollywood movie. How we becoming self worshipping, navel gazing, selfish and removed from God and Satan steps in the spiritual void. Basically the movie plot of that tripe Eat, Pray Love with Julia Roberts
“Hostage to the Devil” is one of the most frightening books that I have ever read. Years ago, I actually hid it from my teenage children because I did not think it appropriate for them.
I had the honor to meet and speak with Malachy Martin before his death. He was a very perceptive man, and had a deep faith.
If you want to know his interpretation of what is going on in the modern Church, read his last novel, “Windswept House.”
To your excellent book I would add “The Final Hour” which gives a historical overview of all Mary’s apparitions and details her struggle with the devil on our behalf.
