God Most Powerful by Fr. Gabriele Amorth. Sophia Institute Press (Manchester, NH, 2025). 176 pp., paperback. $17.95.
Fr. Gabriele Amorth (1925-2016), the most famous Italian exorcist, was well-known for calling a spade a spade. Hollywood even attempted to portray his indomitable fight to liberate God’s people from the enemy. However, the profound faith of Fr. Amorth and his tireless pursuit of souls was far from sensational. At the heart of it all, some have even compared his spirituality to St. Therese of Lisieux.
“The deeper reason that prevents communion with God is, again and again, the fear of God; fear that keeps us from feeling loved as a child,” Fr. Amorth shared.
In God Most Powerful, a translation of his Italian interview with Angelo De Simone, he provides readers with the antidote for reclaiming their identity as children of God by being liberated by His love.
Fr. Amorth, who founded the International Association of Exorcists, also authored over thirty books on spiritual warfare and exorcism, including An Exorcist Explains the Demonic, Father Amorth: My Battle against Satan, Stronger Than Evil, The Devil is Afraid of Me, and Get Behind Me, Satan, available from Sophia Press.
“The devil, through his ordinary action, which is temptation, and through his extraordinary action … tries to destroy the confidence of each man and each woman to love and to be loved,” explained Fr. Amorth.
Amid the world’s darkness, readers will discover ways to hold fast to hope and overcome trials and temptations. They will also receive clarity in how to grow in spiritual maturity and discover simple, practical methods for attaining victory in the struggle for sanctity.
This book is packed with stories, meditations on scripture, the saints and other holy men and women to help renew your relationship with God, the source of all goodness, truth, and beauty.
Parents and educators will also learn how to prepare youth to put on the armor of God and experience His love more deeply.
Above all, through the wisdom in these pages, readers will develop a stronger trust in God as they enter into greater intimacy with Him.
