by C. Peter Wagner

As Christians, we are in the trenches of a violent war. It is more real than our Western mindset has led us to believe. Since the spirit world - where demons attack us daily - seems to us somehow less... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

A manual for spiritual warfare.

This book was an eye-opener for me.The authors really give a lot of information about the different forces encountered in spiritual warfare. The experiences of missionaries abroad with territorial spirits is one example. Possession and exorcism are touched upon. The origins of demons was quite interesting and 3 Scripture-based theories are listed: 1-"Disembodied spirits of inhabitants of the pre-Adamic Age." 2-"The offspring of angels and antedeluvian women." 3-"Fallen angels." The layout of "Wrestling with Dark Angels" is simple.There is a response to each chapter. The power evangelism topic wasn't interesting to me. The value of this book is in spiritual warfare and understanding how the enemy works.This book covers that area well!

For the experienced spiritual adventurere

I borrowed it from a friend for my first reading, but found there was too much essential stuff here. This book is for the more mature Christian who is interested in exporting the deeper aspects of spiritual warfare.

Helpful insights into the spiritual battle we encounter.

How can a book with such an ominous title raise one's spirit to praise as this one does? The 13 chapters (nine of them with responses) read like a Marine Corps recruiter's call to join the action. Taking just three chapters as examples, the authors declare that "We Are At War" (Dr. Ed Murphy), that we must reckon with "Deception: Satan's Chief Tactic" (Dr. Timothy M. Warner), but that we may rejoice by "Finding Freedom in Christ" (Dr. Neil Anderson). The authors and respondents offer well-reasoned, helpful insights into the very real battle that has to be fought if we are to fulfill the Great Commission. The contributors do not live in a side eddy of the evangelical church, but serve in such respected institutions as Seattle Pacific University, Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL., Church of God School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Canadian Theological Seminary, Talbot theological Seminary, and others. Like its theme, this is a powerful book.
