UNLEASHED is a groundbreaking work on deliverance that contains the C1-13 Integrative Deliverance Needs Assessment, an instrument used to indicate the probable need for deliverance. The ministry of casting out demons is either entirely dismissed on one hand or misused and abused on the other. A strict ratio-empirical, closed -system, natural worldview utterly rejects the notion of a spirit world with spirit beings. To the other extreme, some inept and careless deliverance ministries reject the validity of the health professions and identify every problem in the life of the believer as demonic. The theology of these ministries also fails to account for the power of the cross and its daily application in the life of the believer as the normative way in which God delivers from sin and evil. All challenges in the life of the believer do not necessitate a deliverance session. UNLEASHED is a book that offers a balanced perspective on these matters including an instrument that can be used to assist in discerning the probable need for deliverance. The C1-13 is a qualitative and quantitative probability indicator for deliverance. The C1-13 instrument was developed to assist persons in discerning the probable need for deliverance in any given case. This assessment employs an extensive inventory to identify sinful practices and accompanied symptomatology to ascertain the probability of demonic involvement. The C1-13 then assigns values to four variables related to each sinful practice that are evaluated to determine an overall BQ – Bondage Quotient. The BQ is a score that is evaluated to determine if there is a need for deliverance. The C1-13 is revolutionary in that it transcends the usual inventories by applying variables that are key factors to differentiating degrees of demonization or demonic influence. The instrument is also distinct due to its integrative approach that cross-references the work of other professional fields to arrive at a comprehensive picture of the problem and a more extensive and effective treatment.
