Deliver Us From Evil

June 22, 2017
A pioneering and still-in-print work on deliverance ministry. I found a second-hand copy of the first edition from 1972 with the bright yellow cover and New York Times-style column of text. Interestingly, the original subtitle was "The Story of a Man Who Dared to Explore the Censored Fourth of Christ's Ministry," which isn't as lurid or alluring as the later "encounters with the powers of darkness" subtitle paired with a profile shot of grotesque gargoyle (a cover that had he lived I suspect Basham would describe as "Grade-C movie stuff" (172).)

Basham's book is by no means lurid (unlike Rebecca Brown's discredited He Came To Set The Captives Free that I'm also currently reading).

Don Basham

Don Basham (1926-1989) was a teacher, writer, and pioneer who served the Lord in ministry for 48 years. A native Texan, Brother Don was trained as a commercial artist, and in 1951, he entered into ministry, studying at Phillips University Seminary. He was ordained in ministry by the Disciples of Christ in 1955, and pastored churches in the United States in Canada.

Following the physical healing of a close friend, Brother Don and his wife, Alice, experienced a profound spiritual awakening. He became a much sought-after author and speaker; his teachings on healing, family, and spiritual warfare were groundbreaking and insightful.

From the 1960s onward, Brother Don became a pioneer in the Charismatic Movement. His ministry took him across North America and around the world. Among his many top-selling books are Face Up with a Miracle, Deliver Us from Evil, A Handbook on Holy Spirit Baptism, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, Can a Christian Have a Demon?, Lead Us Not into Temptation, Willing to Forgive, and The Way I See It.
