Indeed our Lord Jesus Christ frequently cast out demons as He liberated souls from bondage. I am grateful that Mark Quay has provided us with a sorely needed training manual to help equip pastors and lay leaders learn how to employ power encounters as the church seeks to destroy the works of the devil. All pastors and ministers in training need to read this important book. --Lyle W.
