Frank Hammond (died 2004) was an author of Christian related books, particularly on deliverance ministry. In 1980 Hammond founded The Children's Bread Ministry with his wife (and sometimes coauthor) Ida Mae Hammond. Hammond was an alumnus of Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Teachings

Hammond taught that ethical issues such as resentment and gossiping – together with issues such as compulsive eating, forgetfulness, sex problems, and mental illness – were caused by demons requiring deliverance ministry, and that everybody required such "deliverance."[1][2][3] He and his wife Ida Mae have been called "perhaps the most influential practitioners of deliverance ministry."[2] Their 1973 book Pigs in the Parlor: A Practical Guide to Deliverance is one of the most influential on the topic,[2][3] and has sold over a million copies.[1]

Hammond's books helped to transfer the ideas of deliverance ministry into the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, in particular the concept of demonic influence short of the demonic possession that requires exorcism by a priest.[4]
