In his book "When Pigs Move In" Don Dickerman gives a strong straight forward call to the church to get involved in the scriptural ministry of deliverance of individuals from demonic oppression.

Don discusses his journey from conventional ministry to miraculous manifestations of a loving God at work today through chosen vessels, anointed men and women with unique spiritual gifts of healing and deliverance.

"When Pigs Move In" parallels stories of healing and deliverance today with New Testament examples of healing and the casting out of demons. The book sets forth the principles Jesus taught by example as He healed and ministered deliverance. Don describes how he was energized with a holy boldness in his first encounter while confronting Satan, the kingdom of darkness, sickness, and of disease in a ministry of deliverance.

Dickerson explains demon "access points" which allow entry into believers through such things as: Generational curses, mental disorders, addictions, religious spirits, early childhood trauma, anger, pornography, immorality, un-confessed sin, lust, and the occult.

In the following chapters Don goes on to share evidences of demon activity, examples of modern day demon possession. He then relates real life examples of miraculous healing and powerful testimonies of deliverances.

Part II of the book focuses on the "nuts and bolts" of deliverance. Don shows how turmoil in the temple (the church or our physical body as a temple) results when defiled by sin and evil thinking. He alerts pastors of impending spiritual battles and identifies who Satan is, his claims, and his ultimate doom.

I found the chapters describing scriptural deliverance and correct terminology especially interesting and informational. Don concludes the book with a number of freedom principles, a section on the dangers of pledges and oaths, and an importance appendix.

"When Pigs Move In" provides important and timely evidence of the believers call to involvement in spiritual warfare by recognizing the cause, resisting the devil and remaining free of Satan's bondage.

It is a guide book and training manual preparing pastors and layman alike for doing spiritual battle, for delivering and healing those in bondage from oppression, from the strongholds of evil and torments of demons.

Don Dickerson delivers a powerful wake up call to the church today. His message is clear, real, dramatic, and convincing.

This book answered many questions in a very easy to understand manner. I've applied what I learned. I bought 5 additional copies for family members and they are thanking me for sharing this helpful book. I am considering sending a copy to my pastor. I am so thankful to this humble author who has submitted his life to THE LORD.

This book shares the author's life experiences, which were very interesting reading. But more importantly he gives you the tools to solve your issues, or those of a friend or family member. His explanations are clear and easy to follow. My initial feeling after reading it was one of being "armed and dangerous" to the kingdom of darkness. God bless you Don Dickerman!

With so much confusion in the Christian world about demon posession and Christians this book uses the simple model that Christian's are mini Tabernacle or Temples.

And at the new birth God's spirit dwells in the Holy of Holies and he owns that so Christians spirits can't be possessed.

But just like Jesus drove money changers from the outer court a Christian can have "money changers" or demonic oppression in our soul and body (Holy Place and Outer Court).

And this makes sense because so many Christians have so many health challenges, addiction challenges, and evil thought challenges, that only an ostrich with his head in the sand could think that Christians are never "oppressed" by the devil.

Anyway --

The tabernacle model with demonic oppression seems right on target to me.

Also talks about what it was like ministering to the "son of sam" killer who is now a Christian minister.

Excellent work by a down in the trenches prison minister!

5 stars from me!

An excellent book on spiritual warfare on how to sweep clean the demonic influence that impact our lives and the lives of others. A book to be shared with family and friends.

I highly recommend this book to any believer. If you know nothing of the kingdom of darkness it will open your eyes to the truth. If you know a little about the kingdom of darkness this will add more to your knowledge.

If you are a non-believer pay attention as you read it just may make a believer out of you.

Excellent book!

This book is a must read for every Born-Again Believer and any and everyone in between. It's jammed packed with vital information to help your walk with the Lord a happier one. And if you're not a Christian you will certainly want to be after reading this book.

I read a lot of books on ministering deliverance years ago and learned a lot, but they were not for new believers... This book was much easier to understand and had a lot of great information... AND really interesting as well. I would recommend it to ANY pastor, teacher, or Christian counsellor. Don Dickerman's web site has a lot of good products as well.

When Pigs Move In is a book everyone should read. Many people's lives are affected by demonic oppression and Don Dickerman gives a very Biblical perspective on the Power of the Holy Spirit to free people. His personal experience of being used by God to free thousands of people (including the Son of Sam Killer, David Berkowitz) from demonic influence is an unforgettable read. This book is a great example of how a Christian can use their God-given authority to change the lives of those oppressed by Satan and his demons. This book should be in every born again Christian's possession.

I'd never heard of Don Dickerman until he was recommended on another Website (Spiritdaily.com). I'm glad I followed up on the recommendation and read Don Dickerman's one and only "Kindle-ized" book, "When Pigs Move In..."

Don starts out by ranting (albeit mildly) about the state of Christianity today. I happen to agree with Don's assessment of the state of many churches nowadays. The churches are supposed to be changing the culture. Instead the culture is changing us. (See, e.g., the many Pew and CARA reports that give evidence of the "watering down" of Christianity). In the context of Don Dickerman's book, what the Word of God says about "spiritual warfare" is largely ignored in favor of "spiritual welfare" (keep the pews filled: think of the pews as sources of income rather than ejection seats.) Anyway...

I enjoyed what Don wrote about how he "found" his ministry of healing and deliverance. His prayer for God to use him as another Moses who could say, "Let my people go!" is worth remembering and praying. His "vision" of the mansion with many rooms (and his being trapped in the "salvation-only" room) was priceless.

I'm glad that Don didn't focus on "exorcism" (a la "The Exorcist" or "The Rite" movies) but focussed on oppression healing for those who have been saved but not yet liberated from their own demons.

I enjoyed the anecdotal, rather than doctrinal, approach that Don took throughout the book. Throughout the stories of "liberation" I kept hearing the voice of T.L. Osborne when he'd talk about his own driving out demons. His phrase, borrowed from his daughter Daisy, was "poor satan!" (daddy's beatin' him up again.) <G> This could equally well be said of Don Dickerman, one of Jesus's frontline warriors.

For anyone who is not familiar with the healing and deliverance ministry, I'd highly recommend Don Dickerman's books as a great introduction to the subject. You'll get an idea of how one person has learned the ministry from the school of the Spirit. Thanks for answering the call, Don.
