Warfare: Winning the Spiritual Battle
By: Tony Evans
Rating: 5 of 5
This is the first book I have read by Tony Evans. To be honest, though I’ve been a Christian for many decades, I generally shy away from reading Christian books. This is because I’ve found the theology in many to be very different from what I understand from my own reading. This is especially true of Christian fiction but that isn’t applicable in this case.
“Warfare” is one of the few books that I’ve come across where I agreed with every word. It’s easy to do as it is all based directly upon the Word without unusual twisting or manipulation to fit what the author is trying to say.
Simply put, Mr. Evans is giving Christians a talking to from lessons straight from God.
We are told, in this book and in the Bible, that our fight is won (by Jesus Christ) but we are still in a battle in the spiritual realm. That that is where we are fighting to hold the line against what our enemy (the devil and other fallen angels) are trying to poach back from God.
The book covers interesting approaches from personal to family to church to community. I especially needed to read the personal segments. There were things in my life that were small but were blocking my ability to approach God. Because of what I read and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I’ve spent some time seeking forgiveness from others. It’s amazing how such a small thing can open the floodgates of heaven.
The book is excellent and I appreciated reading it. I’ll be looking for other books by this author as he what he has to say comes straight from the Word.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
