Canon Lendrum's book on deliverance ministry re-published

For many people, inside and outside the Church, the deliverance ministry is at the same time both a mystery and a fascination.  Not many, including clergy, know very much about it.  That is why it is important that one of the best books written on the subject, by a Church of Ireland priest Canon W. H. Lendrum, has just been re-published.  It is called ‘Confronting the Paranormal’ and it deals with the subject in a very balanced, well-informed and readable way.  Collins dictionary defines exorcism as ‘the expulsion of evil spirits from a person or place by prayers and religious rites.’  This ministry is still needed in our country today more often than is commonly recognised.

Until a recent illness Canon Lendrum was probably the best man in the Church in Ireland in the deliverance ministry.  One of those who was taught by him, Brother David Jardine, says ‘It has been my privilege to join Canon Lendrum on numerous occasions when he has been called to deal with paranormal activity in either places or people.  I remember going with him to a home in East Belfast where the figure of a woman was appearing at night in the room of a little ten year old girl.  This was very frightening for her.  Canon Lendrum came in, asked some questions, summed up the situation and dealt with it with great authority.  That figure of the woman has never again appeared in that home.  Every time I have joined Canon Lendrum in exercising the ministry of deliverance he has operated with that same authority and effectiveness.’

For those who would like to learn more about the deliverance ministry ‘Confronting the Paranormal’ will be an excellent handbook.  It can be purchased from:
