To Hell and Back Again

Evil is real. Demons are real. Demonic possession is real.

Joseph Wisdom Sesay has always known this. From a precocious spiritual childhood interrupted by a horrific civil war, to a youth negotiating the painful road between earthly poverty and a calling from the wealth of Heaven, to the divinely guided founding a Deliverance Ministry in Melbourne, Australia, Wisdom’s is the story of how one man has helpedhundreds of people to expel their literal demons. But there’s another story too.

For decades, malevolent, hostile spiritual entities made Paul Harrington’s life a nightmare. Psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, drug therapy, conventional medicine, alternative medicine, doctors nobody could help, nothing worked. Only after years of denial from his family and friends, only after years of his own denial, did Paul finally find Wisdom. Only then could the real work begin. You are holding in your hands one of the most detailed accounts of demonic possession ever published, charting the long road from childhood trauma, through a long nightmare of fear and madness to, finally, freedom, restoration and a transformation that continues to this day. This is a story of the dread of spiritual affliction. It is a story of fear, anger, rage, betrayal and the chaos that evil inflicts.

But it is also a story of honesty, of forgiveness. The truth of possession, exorcism and deliverance bears little resemblance to their depictions in fiction. The truth is even more disturbing, even more compelling. The truth is terrifying.

But for some, there is a way out of the darkness from Hell, and back again into the Light.
