All You Wanted To Know

 The authors are what first attracted me to the book, The Devil..."alive and active in our world."  Corrado Balducci wrote the book and Jordan Aumann, O.P. translated.

Carrado Balducci is a well know theologian, whom I pay attention to, especially on UFOs.  Jordan Aumann is no slouch as a theologian, either, but the fact that he's a Dominican, made me choose this book to read.

Balducci tells us that God created the universe and that includes UFO's and angels.  This book has nothing to do with UFOs, but I like to point out how diverse and open Balducci is.  Although, when it comes to devils, it doesn't take much convincing. Satan's always prowling around like a roaring lion...

The Devil..."alive and active in our world," explains how we are all vulnerable to temptations.  But thanks to God, we have the grace and means to resist the fallen angels. The devil doesn't win, unless we let him. That's the beginning.

Part One of the book, explains the Fall, the nature of devils, and evil.  Part Two proves the existence of devils through Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church. The rest of The Devil..."alive and active in our world," explains the work of the exorcist--diagnosis, procedures, and suggestions.  You could say this book has all you wanted to know about the devil.  I found it interesting and useful.
