Through the joys and sorrows of life, we can often lose sight of what the Bible has assured us: we are at war, and must be ready, continually standing firm against the world, the Devil and even our own flesh. The Perpetual Battle is a training manual, helping us know our enemy and understand what it means to live in enemy–occupied territory as we learn to fight the good fight.

A war is being waged, a war against an internal foe, an external foe, and an ultimate foe. If Christians fail to realize that, we will find ourselves casualties on the battlefields of personal discipleship, cultural skirmishes, and cosmic conflict. This book is a call to arms and a strategy manual. Read it, equip yourself, and fight the good fight.
N. Clayton Croy
Professor of New Testament, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio
The Christian pursuit of holiness is a daily battle and a lifelong war. This practical guide brings plenty of wisdom, distilled from the spiritual classics of previous eras. It is accessible, biblical, realistic, and wonderfully encouraging.
Andrew Atherstone
Tutor in History and Doctrine, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
Simon Vibert sounds the trumpet to call us to arms. Even better, he equips us with strategies and tactics drawn from a variety of Christian writers who understood that our greatest enemies are the ones we cannot see.
Joel R. Beeke
Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Vibert takes a truthful, realistic and encouraging approach to making it through this battle of faith, helping readers to implement redemptive strategies and to recognize who leads and ultimately aids us to win the smaller skirmishes as well as the bigger battles of the Christian life.
