The Exorcist Files is about how the devil gets in - and how to get him out again.

One of the most in-demand exorcists in the Roman Catholic Church, Father Carlos Martins has been called to the most disturbing and vicious cases of possession worldwide. He has witnessed levitation, paranormal violence, foaming at the mouth - everything you've seen from the most terrifying horror movies, but in real life.

His book, The Exorcist Files, tells ten of his most compelling tales of possession, from the fire-fighter whose pact with the devil aged eight gave him supernatural strength in exchange for possession, who sprouted fangs during his encounter with the priest, to the witch who lures unsuspecting lonely men to become her exhausted sex-slaves.

And uniquely, it reveals the prayers, rituals and secret techniques Martins uses to achieve exorcism, the theology behind them, and how ultimately, it's the victory of Jesus Christ that sets people free.

Based on the wildly successful podcast of the same name, which has been downloaded over 4 million times since its launch in 2023, The Exorcist Files details Martins' first-hand experiences with real-life exorcisms and discusses them in the context of the history and theology of demonic activity.

Martins is widely recognized as an expert in the ministry of exorcism and is often asked to assist in the most extraordinary cases. A convert from atheism, he discovered Jesus as an undergraduate. He founded Treasures of the Church, a Vatican ministry utilizing the relics of the saints in healing ministry. Because of his work in exorcism and healing, Father Martins is one of the most renowned ministers of the ""supernatural"" within the Catholic Church. He has served as a consultant to the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints (the Vatican department charged with saint-making) and Pope Francis designated him a Missionary of Mercy, a papal delegate with worldwide jurisdiction (less than 0.3% of priests globally possess this privilege).

Reviews for The Exorcist Files: True Stories About the Reality of Evil and How to Defeat It

Highly valuable as a catechetical instrument. It serves as a stark reminder that the whole of human history is marked by the huge and dramatic clash between good and evil told symbolically in the Book of Revelation. Such context has the power to shake the lukewarm and the sceptical from complacency. At the same time, it offers the reader hope, encouragement and the consolation of the victory already won by Christ. It calls upon the reader to have faith in Our Lord, to believe the truth of the Gospels, to protect themselves by avoiding sin, by leading good lives and by constant recourse to the sacraments.It is a book which invites the reader to gaze upon Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind who, as we will hear in this and every Christmas, is the light who shines in the darkness and whom the darkness cannot overpower. -- Simon Caldwell * Catholic Herald *
