An amazing book

This is a book on spiritual warfare like no other. I appreciate how the author draws comparisions between his own true war experiences in Viet Nam and the spiritual war we are waging in the heavenly realms. We use this book for a freshman level course at our Liberty Center Bible Institute, and in our School of Discipleship training in my church, Christ Fellowship in Elizabeth, N.J.

This is an encouraging book, from a soldier's perspective, on how to apply God's word to daily struggles. If you are tired of fumbling with your standard-issued equipment and ready to trust God and take a stand against evil in your life and this world, this book is for you. This book is Bible-based and the author's love for God shows. Some of my favorite quotes: "The pages of the Bible bristle with the vocabulary of war. Think of it. The Bible refers regularly to such things as wounds, attacks, blood, sacrifice, swords, shields, battles, shameful defeats, and glorious victories." page 29 "The enemy's strongholds are patterns of thinking" page 189. "The Christian has to use the divinely powerful weapons (the Word, prayer, love of God, fear of God, obedience to God) to dismantle the thoughts, patterns, philosophies, perspectives, and lifestyles that the enemy uses as strongholds over people's lives." page 189. "Alexander the Great once said that the Persians would always be slaves because they did not know how to pronounce the word no." page 215. I found the book very thought provoking.

Call to battle!

Stu Weber, a pastor and former Green Beret captain, has written "Spirit Warriors" from the perspective that the Christian life is the war to end all wars. If you are a Christian - male or female - you are a spirit warrior in a "flat-out, knock-down, drag-out war". It is imperative that Christians grasp this reality. Weber states that a wartime theme pervades Scripture. Christians are called to 'fight the good fight of faith' and everywhere there are scriptures mentioning attacks, blood sacrifices, swords, shields, battles, defeats, and victories. Our adversary the devil is real, intense, and extremely devious, but thankfully he is not all-powerful or all-knowing. Neither will he be ultimately successful. God has given us angels, spiritual armour, and His Word to equip us for victory. With these, we can take captive every thought and tear down every stronghold that is raised up against the truth that is in Christ Jesus. I found this book inspiring and uplifting. It charges the heart with spiritual vitality and strengthened faith in Jesus. The author addresses many issues that the Church would do well to pay attention to, especially in this day of spiritual confusion and post-modern philosophy. A book well worth reading for its balanced perspective and encouraging message.

Suit Up!

Get your spiritual armour ready. This is probably the best non-fiction Christian book I have read in a year. The author was in Special Ops, so he has an idea what warfare is about. This book was recommended to me by a church member who also was in Special Ops. He says that the author is dead-on. The advice is usable by all Christians and reminds us to stand firm in our faith and be prepared for the weapons of the Evil One. Recommended for men and women, late teens through adult.

Good Book on Spiritual Warfare

I've read several books on spiritual warfare lately, and found that from a practical point of view, who better to tell us about warfare than a modern-day warrior? Although I prefer Kay Arthur's book on warfare because it made me dig more deeply in the Scriptures and make conclusions for myself, I still think Mr. Weber's book gave better insight from the point of view of someone who had actually been in a war. I would recommend reading both books to give a balanced view on this subject, spiritual and practical.
