The legendary bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist M. Scott
Peck, whose books have sold over 14 million copies, reveals the
amazing true story of his work as an exorcist -- kept secret for
more than twenty-five years -- in two profoundly human stories of
satanic possession. In the tradition of his million-copy bestseller
People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil, Scott Peck's
new book offers the first complete account of exorcism and
possession by a modern psychiatrist in this extraordinary personal
narrative of his efforts to heal patients suffering from demonic
and satanic possession. For the first time, Dr. Peck discusses his
experience in conducting exorcisms, sharing the spellbinding
details of his two major cases: one a moving testament to his
healing abilities, and the other a perilous and ultimately
unsuccessful struggle against darkness and evil.
Twenty-seven-year-old Jersey was of average intelligence; a caring
and devoted wife and mother to her husband and two young daughters,
she had no history of mental illness. Beccah, in her mid-forties
and with a superior intellect, had suffered from profound
depression throughout her life, choosing to remain in an abusive
relationship with her husband, one dominated by distrust and greed.
Until the day Dr. Peck first met the young woman called Jersey, he
did not believe in the devil. In fact, as a mature, highly
experienced psychiatrist, he expected that this case would resolve
his ongoing effort to prove to himself, as scientifically as
possible, that there were absolutely no grounds for such beliefs.
Yet what he discovered could not be explained away simply as
madness or by any standard clinical diagnosis. Through a series of
unanticipated events, Dr. Peck found himself thrust into the role
of exorcist, and his desire to treat and help Jersey led him down a
path of blurred boundaries between science and religion. Once
there, he came face-to-face with deeply entrenched evil and
ultimately witnessed the overwhelming healing power of love. In
Glimpses of the Devil, Dr. Peck's celebrated gift for integrating
psychiatry and religion is demonstrated yet again as he recounts
his journey from skepticism to eventual acknowledgment of the
reality of an evil spirit, even at the risk of being shunned by the
medical establishment. In the process, he also finds himself
compelled to confront the larger paradox of free will, of a
commitment to goodness versus enslavement to the forms of evil, and
the monumental clash of forces that endangers both sanity and the
soul. Glimpses of the Devil is unquestionably among Scott Peck's
most powerful, scrupulously written, and important books in many
years. At once deeply sensitive and intensely chilling, it takes a
clear-eyed look at one of the most mysterious and misunderstood
areas of human experience.
