“Among men, a special role is played by exorcists. They are like the tips of diamonds in this army that counters evil with good. They are priests chosen to drive out the extraordinary presence of Satan and his army.”
—Fr. Gabrielle Amorth
When Fr. Gabriele Amorth passed away on September 16, 2016 at the age of ninety, he had given everything to Christ and His Church. He performed as many as twelve exorcisms in a day. He faithfully served sixty-nine years in the Pauline religious order, sixty-two as a priest, and thirty years as the pope’s exorcist.
In this official biography, Fr. Amorth’s extraordinary life is revealed for the first time in English. In these pages, you will learn about a humble priest who initially refused the appointment of exorcist. You will discover how this spiritual son of Saint Padre Pio trained to be an exorcist and the details of his first exorcism. How he single handedly spearheaded the consecration of Italy to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He later founded what became the International Association of Exorcists (IAE), the only organization of its kind recognized by the Church.
Fr. Amorth once said about exorcisms, “The battle can last for hours. And it almost never ends with deliverance. It takes years to free a possessed person. Many years. Satan is difficult to defeat.”
Although the world knows him only as an exorcist, he was so much more. His profound prayer life, his simplicity, his love for poverty, his sense of humor, his fearlessness, his friendship with many saints, and his esteemed love for Our Lady set him apart. Because of Our Lady’s protection, he once declared, “I always say that it is the devil who is afraid of me.”
Everyone is called to do battle with devil, but few people are given the power over the demons. And “despite the fatigue, disappointments, and losses, he would never retreat from the enemy.” Here, you will find the remarkable story of the most renowned exorcist of the last century, a warrior for Christ. “Those who knew him, already consider him a saint.”

Rome's Exorcist
I have always known Satan "prowls about the world seeking to destroy souls." Father Amorth was a truly Holy man and should be a saint. I have only read half the book, and it is enlightening.

Loved this book
This book was a fascinating read into the life of Fr. Gabriele Amorth. I really enjoyed reading about his early life and about all of his accomplishments as a Priest prior to his well known exorcisim ministry. Truly an amazing servant of God.

Fr.Gabriel's life is not sensationalistic
Father Gabriel wanted only to be a good Paulist Father. He was an authoritative Marian commentator. He was obedient and followed the call to be an exorcist even though it caused him misunderstandings. He attributed his success as an exorcist to Mary, following strictly to the 21 rules for exorcists found in the Church's official rite of exorcism and following the official rite exactly without deviation. Much background matter covering his entire life. An admirable example for all, as a man, priest and excorcist

Great biography about Father Amorth.
When I found out a book about Father Gabrele Amorth was coming out, I rushed to pre-order it. It shipped early than expected and arrived earlier. It's a story about his life. I'm not finished because I'm taking my time reading it. He was a man with a beautiful heart that loved our heavenly father and blessed mother. I'm on chapter 5 and just within those chapters, shows you how he was fighter and a determined even as young man. I've read and owned his books for years. He was such a great man. I recommend this book. 5 stars for me!
