About this item

In this pioneering book for believers, nonbelievers, and anyone curious about the supernatural, renowned exorcist Father Carlos Martins shares his real-life experiences with demonic activity and explores how we can remain safe against its power.

In his blockbuster podcast, The Exorcist Files, Fr. Martins uncovers the disturbing reality of the forces of evil in our world, guiding listeners through many of his most graphic encounters with demonic entities. In this groundbreaking book, he dives deeper into the nature of evil to expose its dangers and to help us understand how to remain free from its influence and control.

The Exorcist Files introduces us to the 2,000-year-old Catholic ministry of exorcism. As one of the most sought-after experts on the supernatural in the world, Father Carlos shares how evil looks for any opening in our lives–from witchcraft and pagan practices to pornography and even emotional trauma–with the purpose of causing us pain and destruction. He challenges conventional thinking and offers a sobering look at the spiritual dangers lurking in those modern practices that often disguise themselves as harmless. Calling us to vigilance and spiritual fortitude, he emphasizes the importance of religious literacy and practice as guides in a world where the line between the divine and the demonic is increasingly blurred.

Through compelling storytelling coupled with science, theology, and detailed analysis, this book invites us to:

  • Uncover the reality and tactics of demonic forces that seek to disrupt our lives.
  • Learn practical steps to recognize and guard against spiritual attacks.
  • Gain valuable insights into the cosmic struggle between good and evil.
  • Experience the transformative power of faith and the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.

For believers and the spiritually curious, this eye-opening book invites us to explore, question, and deepen our understanding of the hidden threats lurking in our midst so that we can stay protected and walk confidently in faith.

    Diving into The Exorcist Files: True Stories About the Reality of Evil and How to Defeat It was an utterly captivating experience. This book isn't just well-written—it's a masterful blend of gripping storytelling and profound insight that kept me hooked from the first page to the last. The author's ability to weave true accounts of exorcism into a narrative that's both engaging and deeply informative is nothing short of remarkable.

    Each chapter unfolds like a suspenseful drama, yet beneath the surface lies a wealth of knowledge about the nature of evil and the spiritual battles that often go unseen. The real-life stories are presented with such vivid detail that they not only intrigue but also challenge readers to contemplate the realities of good and evil in the world. What struck me most was how the book doesn't merely sensationalize these encounters; instead, it offers practical wisdom on recognizing and confronting malevolent forces in our own lives.

    The exploration of evil here isn't confined to abstract concepts—it delves into tangible experiences that many might find both unsettling and enlightening. The author's thoughtful approach provides a nuanced understanding of how evil manifests and, more importantly, how it can be overcome. This balance between captivating narratives and actionable insights makes the book stand out in its genre.

    For anyone fascinated by the unseen realms of spiritual warfare or seeking a deeper comprehension of the forces that influence our world, this book is an indispensable read. It doesn't just tell stories; it equips you with knowledge and encourages a proactive stance against negativity and evil. The lasting impact it leaves is one of empowerment and heightened awareness.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great book with simple content, but very good conclusions
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025
    The book is really great and I like the fact that it combines both theory as well as practice.

    As a Catholic, I like how it combines the things known in faith and observed in practice and how it shows ways in which they matter that I may not have though of earlier.

    As an engineer, I really like the fact that it describes the procedures even for the things that are not covered by the teachings of the Catholic Church, it clearly mentions them, and then it lists empirical conclusions. This is particularly useful due to some doubtful claims about this in other media.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, even better than the podcast!

    I absolutely love this book and the podcast series it originated with. What I love about it is not just the chilling exorcism stories, but also the theology behind all of it. It takes these events from spooky stories to real life cosmic battles of good versus evil. AMDG!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating! Interesting insight into the spiritual world

    These accounts are incredible and really help educate people on how to keep their souls safe. I think this is a very important book for those of us who may not have gotten a good education in spiritual matters and for those of us who are curious about the Catholic faith and spiritual beings. If you’ve always wondered why people seek out the Catholic Church when scary things happen, this helps explain why. It’s much easier to understand than other books I’ve read on this matter. There are stories but then there are also explanations of why things happened. I’m learning not to take any chances with my soul. I think everyone who believes (and even those who don’t believe) in the afterlife should read/listen to this book. It’s eye opening, and I believe the author is doing the world a great service by putting this information out there.

    Wow. This is the book that I was looking for. This explains evil and how it functions in a way I could understand. But it is more. It is the clearest presentation of the Christian faith I have ever found. In reading this, I find myself knowing, in a way I thought I never would, the tactics of the enemy and the enemy who has taken him on: Jesus Christ.

    I learned so much about Christianity and my place within it. Besides the Bible, this is the greatest book I have ever read.

    BUY THIS BOOK. YOU'LL THANK ME!
