Spiritual Warfare Q&A for Priests and Laity
By Dan Schneider, Ph.D. & Jesse Romero · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Every Catholic is engaged in a spiritual battle. Spiritual Warfare Q&A for Priests and Laity provides a clear, practical, and thoroughly Catholic guide to understanding that battle and responding to it with confidence rooted in the Church's perennial teaching. Written in an accessible question-and-answer format, Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero distill years of pastoral experience, theological study, and evangelization into a practical manual that equips both clergy and laity to recognize spiritual dangers while remaining firmly grounded in Scripture, the sacraments, and authentic Catholic doctrine.
Addressing more than sixty practical and theological questions, this book examines topics ranging from exorcism, deliverance, and sacramentals to the occult, New Age spirituality, Freemasonry, yoga, horror media, cursed objects, haunted houses, and other modern spiritual dangers. Throughout, the authors emphasize prudent discernment, obedience to the Church, frequent reception of the sacraments, and a disciplined life of prayer rather than fear or sensationalism.

EVERY Catholic needs to read this book! Spiritual warfare is very real and affects more of us than we realize. The in-depth answers have made me feel more ready and prepared to fight the Evil One, and recognize him in other’s lives.

Spiritual Warfare Q and A...loved it!
I devoured it in less than 24 hours, to be expected though of a War College addict. So glad you put the information out there, regarding laying on of hands, authority structure, general Confession, generational sin properly understood, et cetera, all the things I have been learning in War College now in print, I was internally fist-pumping so many times reading this. It was informative but also riveting. It will register as a spiritual atomic bomb, the reverberations felt for generations, so many things that needed to be said, so many seminarians and priests will read this and it will change their ministry and lives, as you both have done for me. And what an ending...I am the Church Militant, and this is as far as the bastards are going. Wow! Gives me goosebumps and gets me fired up at the same time. Thanks for everything...you two, and Anita also of course, are the BEST!
