—Dr. Mary Healy, Professor of Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, bestselling author, international speaker, and serves on the Pontifical Biblical Commission
“Big God, Little Devil is an incredible book—full of wisdom, practical insights, and life transforming truth… I believe it will be a classic and groundbreaking work on spiritual warfare.”
—Dr. Bob Schuchts, founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of Be Healed
Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Sean Tobin — a former atheist whose doctoral work focused on exorcism, deliverance, and psychotherapy — Big GOD, little devil offers a radically different vision of spiritual warfare rooted not in fear, but in communion, healing, and the victory already won in Christ.
THE WAR IS WON. THE ENEMY IS DISARMED. SO WHY ARE SO MANY CHRISTIANS STILL LIVING IN FEAR?
In a world obsessed with evil and distracted by darkness, spiritual warfare has often been twisted into a spectacle—one that breeds anxiety, superstition, and control. Big God, Little Devil offers a radical reframe. With theological clarity, clinical wisdom, and Spirit-filled insight, Dr. Sean Tobin reveals that deliverance is not about confrontation, but communion. We don’t fight for victory—we live from it. In Christ, evil is not only broken—it’s reoriented. Even the schemes of the enemy become instruments of God’s healing, drawing us into deeper trust, restoration, and wholeness.
This book is for the battle-weary and the curious, for ministers and laypeople alike. It’s a return to the simplicity of union with God, where light effortlessly displaces darkness. Through powerful stories, insights from the saints, and a grounded approach to healing, you’ll be invited to walk in the light, live from God’s presence, and reclaim your inheritance as a beloved child of the Father. The war is over. It’s time to live like it.
You’ll discover:
- Why fear-based deliverance methods often deepen the problem
- How the Holy Spirit integrates what the enemy tried to fragment
- How worship and testimony silence accusation
- How trust—not striving—is the true battleground
- How the sacraments and Scripture equip you to walk in peace and power
- Why authority flows from intimacy, not intensity.
