The Deliverance Dialogues confronts one of the most urgent and misunderstood questions facing the church today: When is it mental illness, and when is it demonic influence? In an age marked by rising anxiety, trauma, addiction, and renewed fascination with the occult, pastors and counselors often find themselves navigating complex spiritual and psychological terrain. Too often, the church has either over-spiritualized mental health struggles or dismissed the reality of spiritual warfare altogether. This book refuses both extremes.
Drawing from biblical theology, church history, clinical research, and real-life ministry encounters, Robbie Willis offers a thoughtful, balanced, and deeply pastoral approach to discernment, deliverance, and discipleship. With clarity and compassion, he equips leaders to distinguish between psychological distress and spiritual oppression—while grounding every step of healing in the cleansing, restoring power of Jesus Christ.
This is not a sensational manual on exorcism. It is a call to courage, wisdom, and collaboration. This conversation is for church leaders who long to see people not only delivered—but made whole.
