Surviving the Trenches
Killing Sin Before Sin Kills You
Joe Barnard
Written for men
Mortification of sin
Arming readers for the fight
Joe Barnard has written a book to help men not only wake up to the existence of sin in their lives, but, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to tackle it head on. This may seem like a daunting task. Although few would admit it publicly, privately many share the deep anxiety that the resources of the gospel are inadequate to deal with – not the guilt of sin – but the power of sin. Sin may look like an insurmountable problem when measured by the stature of a fallen man, but to God, sin is no more than a weed planted in sand. This book is for men who are willing to fight and it will arm them for the task at hand.

With tactical clarity Barnard describes the Enemy’s devices and presents practical strategies for waging war with indwelling sin. … a call to spiritual arms that should be read by every Christian.

Much more than a how–to guide for dealing with sin, Surviving the Trenches will transform your mindset about sin from mere life–management and problem–solving to what sin really is—a life–or–death battlefield.

… maintains that only God saves humanity from the clutches of sin yet perfectly explains how we play a role in waging war with the sin that never stops raging against us. I would highly recommend this book for anyone in a present battle with sin — and that’s pretty much everyone.
Vince Miller
President, Resolute Men’s Ministry and Bible Studies
… practical, clear, and deliberate. Mortifying sin is not a popular topic today, however, it is as important as ever. Without understanding and applying the principles contained in Matthew 5:27–30, the Christian will not make much progress in their pursuit of spiritual growth.
