H. A. Maxwell Whyte (1908–1988) embarked on a
journey in ministry that was fraught with uncertainty and an
absence of familiar landmarks when he was sovereignly led by
the Holy Spirit into an understanding of demonic activity
and spiritual warfare. As is often the case with pioneers, he
was misunderstood, ridiculed, and ostracized by the
Christian community, even in his own city of Toronto. Despite
great opposition, he forged ahead in the battle against the
forces of Satan, convinced that the ministry of deliverance
was scripturally based and was being restored to the church in
his day. Later, he began to record his experiences, and over
the next two and a half decades, he authored eighteen books.
His first book, The Power of the Blood, has been
translated into several languages and is widely distributed
throughout the world, selling over half a million copies
internationally.
