Edgar in Virginia

Debate surrounding the fascinating "theory" contained in this book may lead one to conclude that the book is concerned primarily with a peculiar conjecture. In reality, this book's strength lies not in the so-called "Gap Theory", but in Dr. Barnhouse's wonderful ability to express himself in remarkable ways concerning numerous areas of our Christian understanding. The theory could be taken away completely, and the book would still retain its excellence. An Intriguing page-turner. Highly recommended.

A Look Into Things Previously Unknown

I only thought that I was comfortable with my knowledge of the creation account until I read this book and found out how little I knew about the spiritual warfare between the God who dwells in unapproachable light and the prince of darkness.If you want to read a fictional story mixed with some Biblical truth than this book is NOT for you since it is filled with Biblical truth and insight with very little hypothetical information. This book is a real jewel in these times of so-called Bible Teachers who mainly weave tales.

No matter what your "Religious" preference.. Great Read !!!!

"The Invisible War" is a tremendous addition to anyones library. At the very least it will provide much "Food for Thought" concerning the ages old problem of Good vs. Evil in the world. It lays down in plain language many highly viable answers to the questions many ask about the Bible, "If God KNEW that the Devil was going to do this or that, why did God allow the Devil to do what he's doing!!!!"For the Christian, it sure can clear some "clouds"... for anyone else, a terrific read. Challenging and informative.

One of the best books on Spiritual Warfare

This book by Dr. Barnhouse is one of the best I've read on Spiritual Warfare. He covers a broad range of topics including Creation, the Fall of Man, Angels and Demons, our struggle with sin and the eternal state. This is an easy read for any level of Christian. It's quite understandable for a new believer yet still informative to a Seminary graduate. I give it my highest recommendation.

A Unique Treatise in a Time of Biblical Confusion

The Invisible War is a wonderful text about the conflict between God and Satan. It answers from clear consise statements from the Bible why mankind exists. It also examines mankind's relationship to the angelic creation. Consequently, the book also examines thoroughly what the Bible says about creation of the universe, earth, life on earth, and His restoration after imposing judgment on fallen angels. It is a unique book in its coverage of topics too often ignored or brushed over in today's church environment. It is a valuable refernce in my library and should be to yours.
