It’s Only a Demon answers the question, “What do I do now that I’ve tried everything else and nothing works?” Forged in the crucible of experience, this book helps pastors, therapists, and laypersons know what to do when they encounter individuals who appear to be in bondage to forces beyond their control.

This simple, clear, biblical model of deliverance offers an alternative worth considering when medicine, counseling, and the spiritual disciplines alone have failed to bring about long term freedom. It’s Only a Demon points the way to transformational change. It’s Only a Demon: A Model of Christian Deliverance is available through www.amazon.com, www.cbd.com, or www.bmhbooks.com or through your local Christian book store.

What Others Are Saying about It’s Only a Demon

“David Appleby walks where angels fear to tread. And he does it well.  He takes a hard look at spiritual warfare and engaging the enemy.  Offering a fresh look at a practice that we otherwise tend to deny altogether or obsess about far too much, this book is a balanced, excellent resource that I highly recommend.”
Tim Clinton, Ed.D.
President, American Association of Christian Counselor

“Thought provoking.”  “Groundbreaking contribution.” “Deserving further study.”
Vernon C. Grounds, Ph.D., D.D., LH.D.
Chancellor, Denver Seminary, Denver, Colorado

“Dr. David Appleby writes of his approach to dealing with the reality of spiritual warfare and demonization. With his background of theological and psychological training and experience, he presents both biblical and clinical evidence that believers in Christ have authority to counsel the oppressed, confront demons, and lead clients to freedom from the enemy’s bondage.”
C. Fred Dickason, Th.D.
Professor Emeritus of Theology, Moody Bible Institute and author of Demonization and the Christian: A New Perspective, Angels: Elect and Evil, and Names of Angels

“Don’t read this book if you want to stay smug and assured and in denial of the truth about how deliverance should be done and why it may need to be reintroduced as a central ministry of the church. Do read this book if want to realign yourself with the truths of God’s Word about the war we are all engaged in—the war “against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12 NKJV)”.
George Ohlschlager, JD, LCSW
Executive Consultant to the American Association of Christian Counselors, Senior Editor and Writer of Christian Counseling Today, and Chairman of the AACC Law & Ethics Committee.
