The Battle: Defeating the Enemies of Your Soul [Paperback]

Wayde I Goodall (Author), Rosalyn Goodall (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 14, 2005

Satan is the real master of lies and deception. While the concept of a devil is familiar, most underestimate the extent of his power or trickery. He wants control over God’s creation, man, and wants to prevent God and man from forming a relationship. Satan and his fallen angels prey on the hurting and downtrodden to destroy them. But Satan’s biggest threat is Christians who have established a relationship with Christ. We hold the key to the ultimate weapon against the wiles of the underworld-God’s Word. Wayde I. Goodall presents a soldier’s manual for spiritual warfare in an easy-to-read style. He shows us how to become victorious for Christ, and to understand our enemy’s tactics before The Battle.

From the Back Cover

Territorial spirits . . . Diagrams of multi-tentacled demons . . . Have you ever wondered just how much of the information you read about spiritual warfare is reliable? Where do you draw the line between truth and conjecture, authority and presumption? More pointedly, how can you wield the sword of God's Word to defeat your spiritual foes? The Battle strips the myths from spiritual warfare and shows its realities so you can fight with wisdom, focus, and faith. Here at last is a soldier's manual whose frontline insights rest solidly on the Bible. Thomas Trask and Wayde Goodall open the arsenal of Scripture to furnish you with a thorough understanding of your enemy. They describe Satan's present-day strategies, the nature of the battle -- and God's surpassing provisions for you to successfully combat the forces of darkness. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Battle (Paperback)

This is the first of a series of books by Thomas Trask and Wayde Goodall, both seasoned Pentecostal pastors. The popularity of this book helped spawn a trinity of books by Zondervan Publishing. In this first of the series, Trask and Goodall give numerous examples of spiritual warfare in the world today, and examples of how God is still victorious in The Battle. Useful reading for the 21st Century! Review by Dr. Mark Bradford, Seminary Professor

If you do not understand what is authentic, you will be fooled by counterfeits.
Get this book, read it, study it, and tell everyone you know about it.
This book is powerful information that ALL Christians need to learn, know, and understand. He quotes scriptures to build his points and sheds light on the battle plans and tactics of the devil. it is a quick read, great stuff. Powerful information for the beginner Christian to protect themselves in the spiritual battle that we are in every day.
