The Perpetual Battle
The World, the Flesh and the Devil
Simon Vibert
Spiritual warfare
The armour of God
Living well in a fallen world
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.

The Perpetual Battle provides us the insights and tools to ready ourselves for battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. It helps us see the subtle influences and manipulations of the enemy— both within and without. The Perpetual Battle is a needed resource in our time, more than ever before.

The book is clear, well organized and well researched. In each of the three main sections he considers the Biblical material, significant writers on the subject, and practical application. This is a book to buy – and to put into practice!

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.
