Spiritual Warfare

Good reading but focuses largely on missionary and evangelical topics, limiting the audience who would find this useful.

"The fact is, we are engaged in spiritual warfare whether we want to be or not. We may be winning or losing, but there is no way to declare neutrality." ~ pg. 143 Timothy M. Warner has written a useful book for Christians who believe that they are in a war between good and evil. This book explains that Satan is a beautiful angel who became jealous of God's glory. After taking a third of heaven's angels with him, he came to earth to thwart God's plans. Timothy M. Warner believes Satan is still as active on earth as he was in the Garden of Eden. While demon possession is one of the topics, demon oppression is emphasizes even more. Demons can apparently be responsible for illness or psychological problems. They may put thoughts in your head that you don't want to think about. The ideas in this book are backed up by many scripture references. "Fallen angels cannot act directly upon the will, but they can and do act upon the imaginations, thoughts, emotions and desires. Where they find a passion alive and active in us, they can play upon these passions and fantasies and so intensify the passion. Evidently they can also inject fantasies and feelings which have no ground in our own character and experience." ~ John Newport, pg. 99 This book would be especially helpful for missionaries who seem to have more encounters with demons that the rest of us. Christians may find this book useful if they feel they may be under demonic attack. ~The Rebecca Review

FINALLY, a moderate book in size but a giant in depth. This book grants us far more than a glimpse into the warfare that is raging just beyond our vision, spiritual warfare, with our very souls as the spoils of battle. It explains in our language that which we cannot now see but by faith and scripture we believe is evident. At its core, the book brings one simple but powerful message which is that there is no middle ground here. We are either His, or we belong to the forces of darkness. No neutrality exists. Read it and learn!

Very informative. I had not thought about the warefare ongoing each day and now I understand the depth of it. Every Christian should read and have handy to referr back when necessary. It's very very good.
