Catholicism's Inside Story Revealed By Fifty Converted Priests "It has been a great joy and a sadness to read this book. A joy because we have here, in every chapter, a reminder of what is real Christianity. I believe that the words found in these pages will be used of God to His glory because they are not the words of those seeking to advance themselves. They are simply the testimonies of men whose controlling desire has been to honor Christ and His Word. A Christian is a poor redeemed sinner for whom Christ has given everything. May this book be used to increase this testimony in all the world!" (Lain Murray in the Foreward) "I took the Holy Scriptures and began to search, but...Where is the infallibility of the Pope?...Where is all that about Eucharistic fasting...and the Mass? Where is it all? I could not find it. The more I studied the more I came to see that Christianity is one thing and Roman Catholicism is another, completely distinct. The more I searched the Scriptures the more convinced I became of this truth. As Catholic priests we were sincere, devout, and dedicated to the Roman Church. What the Bible has to say about "priesthood", compared to how we ourselves understood the "priesthood" will be come crystal clear as you read these personal testimonies of men who have experienced both the false and the true priesthood, the priesthood of every believer in the once for all sacrifice of Christ Jesus. I warmly encourage you to read about the Lord's grace in each life, for that is the heart beat of this book" (Richard Bennett, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "My studies in the Scriptures showed me that there is no true authority for doctrines such as the immaculate conception or the bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven. The Roman Catholic Church has in recent years been yielding to the popular craze, fostered greatly by the so-called appearances at Lourdes and Fatima, which make Mary more and more into a supreme goddess, ruling heaven and earth. Many Roman bishops and self-styled Marian theologians are hoping to promote the doctrine that Mary redeemed the world and this in spire of St. Paul's declaration "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified to in due time" (I Timothy 2:5-6) (Charles A Bolton, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "Some evangelicals today think that times have changed, that is now possible to hold a dialogue and to collaborate with the Roman Catholic church in order to achieve Christian unity. This is a deception of Satan. The doctrines of this ecclesiastical organization have in no way changed. In fact they are now adding new errors to the old ones. In particular they are working towards bringing in all the other religions which will soon end up by establishing Babylon the Great, as the 17th chapter or Revelation" (Salvatore Gargiulo, a born-again priest now serving Christ).

Less than ten years ago, most Americans felt strongly that demons, devils, witches and spells belonged to a distant, benighted time. Yet we have seen a widespread resurgence in practices of witchcraft and magic. Satanic cults have arisen: we read of ritual murders by members of sinister youth communes. The reality of demon possession no longer seems remote. In the big cities of the Western world, life at times seems like one continuous Walpurgis Night. The very deepest books of spiritism and witchcraft have been brought into this country. Many Americans are being made victims of the false supernatural, mainly through ignorance. The flood of super-naturalism in America is beyond the control of the government and its agencies, institutions and organized churches, but it is not beyond the power of God. If there ever was a hopeless case, it was that of Gottliebin Dittus, whose story this book tells. Because of a youthful involvement with magic, she became possessed by evil spirits. Her behavior and personality changed dangerously. Mental torments and physical afflictions, including convulsions, drove her nearly to suicide. She seemed clearly beyond human help when Johann Christoph Blumhardt, a minister of the Lutheran Church, was led to enter direct conflict with the powers of darkness on her behalf. In the battle that ensued, he learned much about the honest weapons of spiritual warfare. At length he saw her fully restored, physically and spiritually, to a sane, free, normal existence. This account is translated from an official church document - Pastor Blumhardt's carefully detailed report of his battle, prepared for the Synod to which he was responsible. Through the whole account rings the assurance that, whatever may come, "Jesus is Victor"! Learn More
