Summary
Revelations of a life as an Anglican exorcist.
Jason Bray is an Anglican deliverance minister, which means that he works in a field more popularly associated with the Roman Catholic practice of exorcism. He banishes poltergeists and ghosts and explains the church's teachings on demons. It's much more common than you think. Every diocese has at least one deliverance minister.
As portrayed in movies, most famously in the 1973 hit movie The Exorcist, which spawned a whole genre of movies and its own category across streaming platforms, the exorcist is a frightening, sometimes melodramatic figure.
Deliverance Minister Jason Bray, on the other hand, is a warm, sympathetic and humorous character who sees it as his mission to serve the community and help families in distress. In tones closer to Call the Midwife than Blood on Satan's Claw he describes what happens when he is called upon to help. Each true-life adventure is like a detective story. Sometimes he discovers that he is dealing with mental illness. In one case he detects fraud - a family wanting to be moved to a nicer council house!
Jason Bray is the first Anglican deliverance minister to write a book about this ministry for the general listener.

Captivating, hooked from start to finish.
Throughly entertained. Jason Bray places the generally unexplained ‘happenings’ into categories that make sense. You don’t have to be religious to appreciate his work. I just wish I could meet this fascinating guy over a ‘well made’ cup coffee or a glass of wine.

Very interesting - listened virtually non stop.
Really enjoyed - interesting insights given from a man who actually does this (not Netflix)!

Reassured that the vulnerable are treated well
Kind responsible ministry. Occasionally the God aspect was pushed unnecessarily. A throughly good read/listen

Subject interesting
A different narrator would have worked better. When the reader did a female voice usually with a hysterical tone, it set my teeth on edge😁
The content was often tedious and very mundane and I was left thinking how naive the vicar was.

Not what all Deliverance Ministers do!
As a deliverance minister, I do not agree with some of Fr. Jason's theories or practices. Neither has he experienced all of the supernatural and he is very dismissive of certain things attributing it to poltergeist activity caused by the living ONLY! He seems to be a "house blesser" if there were ever to be such a thing.
This is however a good listen. A good listen for the knowledge of what priests do and how much of a variety of things people approach us with. Clearly the church had had a hand in "toning down" this book. At least it seems that way as our team has very different practices and theories regarding the demonic, curses and the occult that all cause paranormal and supernatural activity.

Title should be the life of a priest
It’s a good account of what a Priest has to deal with. Every possible “possession” is explained away as mental illness, which it probably was in most cases. There are no examples of any real possessions, so if that’s what you’re looking for, I’d go elsewhere. I’m also amazed that the Church provides training in Deliverance, but the author had little, no knowledge of occult practices and had to google some of the information. I would have expected deliverance ministers to have knowledge of ouija boards, voodoo, smudging etc- but they obviously don’t. If you’re interested in the life of a priest, who visits people at time of need, it’s a good read. If you’re looking for real life “exorcist” stories, it’s not

Thoroughly enjoyed
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt that the author (who’s also the narrator) struck a perfect balance between story, pace and tone.
You don’t need to be religious to enjoy this (fwiw I’m an atheist) and I’d recommend it to anyone with an interest in religion, the occult, who wants a differing, honest viewpoint.
I stumbled across this and was glad I did. Great book
