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
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.
