I Am Not Afraid: Demon Possession and Spiritual Warfare


I haven't read this book, so I'm not vouching for it. Even if I had read the book, I'm in no position to independently confirm the anecdotes.

      -Neil T. Anderson is another controversial figure in Evangelicalism. He is featured on many YouTube videos. Here's an example: http://youtu.be/wR7x1WrxKrk
      Here's his most famous book The Bondage Breaker online:
      http://selfdefinition.org/hearing-voices/Neil-T-Anderson-The-Bondage-Breaker.pdf
      The book has been re-written and re-edited multiple times down through the years because of controversial teaching inside and because of the development of his understanding on the subject. Presumably, it's more orthodox than it was when it was originally published over 20 years ago.

      Since the speaker is a Catholic, I obviously don't agree with everything he says (being an Evangelical myself).
